Welcome to Jennifer Goss Writes

Welcome, friend. Here you’ll find words woven from faith, hope, and real life—stories that stir the soul and awaken the spirit. I pray something here speaks to your heart today.

Let's Stay In Touch!

I’m Jennifer, a grace filled storyteller, devoted mama to a remarkable son on the autism spectrum, and an eternal optimist---even in life’s hardest moments.

My passion for storytelling is more than just words on a page, it’s a calling to shine light in the dark and remind us that each of us was created for such a time as this.

In my writing, I weave together real life reflections and imaginative fiction that speak to the heart. From tender stories about the joys and challenges of parenting a child with autism, to gripping narratives set in the final days before Christ’s return, my words are anchored in truth, infused with grace, and driven by unshakable hope.

This journey is not only about sharing stories, it’s about encouraging courage, nurturing faith, and walking boldly in God’s purpose together.

I invite you to step into this space with me, read, reflect, and find encouragement for your own journey.

Together, let’s embrace the stories that matter most...

🍁 Feeling overwhelmed by the holiday hustle?  Before the chaos kicks in, let’s press pause and posture our hearts with gratitude.

Gratitude isn’t just a feeling — it’s a spiritual practice that realigns us with joy, peace, and perspective.

I created a 7-Day Gratitude Journal called An Attitude of Gratitude to help you start each day grounded in God’s goodness, no matter what life throws your way.

✨ Monday Motivation ✨

It’s a new week — a fresh start to rejoice and choose joy! 💜

“When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dreamed.
Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy…
The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.”
— Psalm 126:1–3 (NIV)

Even in the waiting, He’s still working.
Even in the unknown, we can choose joy. 🌿

When your life feels like it’s in ruins, remember:

You know those things we swore we’d never do as moms?
No soda. No tablets. No bribing with candy.
Then life happens… and we do what we need to do.

One morning of M&M’s for breakfast or a movie marathon when you’ve got the flu isn’t going to ruin your child. 💛
Grace over guilt, always.

THE POWER OF YES 💧

Sometimes God changes our plans — not to punish us, but to position us.

Maybe the door you prayed would open stayed shut.
Maybe the dream you thought was from Him didn’t unfold the way you hoped.

But friend, even when life doesn’t go as planned, God is still weaving every detail for His glory and your good. ✨

Your obedience — even the quiet kind — is like a pebble dropped into the water.
It creates ripples of faith that reach farther than you’ll ever see. 🌊

You don’t have to understand God’s plan to trust it.
Say yes anyway. 💜

In the name of Jesus, I boldly declare that October is a month of overflowing blessings, fresh opportunities, and supernatural favor.

I receive open doors and divine connections. Lord, make me sensitive to Your presence—give me ears to hear and eyes to see You in all things.

This month flows with purpose, peace, and provision. Father, grant me the joy of glorifying You on earth as You are glorified in heaven. 😇

As Your Word says:
“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” (Isaiah 43:19, NIV) 🙏🙏🙏

🌊 This is my overarching message this week … make your prayers bold! #jennifergosswrites #prayboldly🙏 #john1623

Moms, Can We Talk About The Heavy Weight of “What-Ifs?”

When I saw the Tylenol–autism headlines, my heart sank. Like so many of you, I trusted my doctors, I followed instructions, and I did my best.

For years, I wrestled with guilt—spiraling down the “what ifs” until I was overwhelmed. But here’s the truth: I made every decision with the knowledge I had at the time, and God was with me then, just as He is now.

Romans 8:28 reminds us: “In all things God works for the good of those who love him.”

Mama, your child was created on purpose, with a purpose. Their story—and yours—is secure in God’s hands. 💜

✝️ The Mission Never Changes ✝️
Our world changes every single day — technology, culture, even the way we gather as the Church. But the gospel of Jesus Christ never shifts.

The Great Commission reminds us that while methods for sharing the “good news” may adapt, the mission never changes: go and make disciples, baptize in His name, teach His ways, and trust His presence is with us always.

➡️ Read the full devotional on my blog: JenniferGossWrites.com

💜 Be encouraged today: You may be the only “church” someone ever sees lived out.

🌻Letting Go of the Life I Imagined 💫

When I became a mom, I had big dreams of what life would look like. But when my son was only 2½ years old and diagnosed with autism, the story I imagined collided with the reality God had placed in my hands.

And I had to face a hard truth:
👉 To live fully in the story God was writing, I had to let go of the one I envisioned.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him…” (Romans 8:28)

Letting go isn’t easy. It’s a daily choice. But in the surrender, I’ve discovered joy — not the fragile kind that depends on circumstances, but the steady joy of knowing God is faithful in every step.

✨ This is the heartbeat of my upcoming book Chosen for This.

Out of hundreds of submissions, my teaching was selected for publication in the @first5app (Proverbs 31 Ministries) as part of their upcoming study 40 Days Through the New Testament — releasing in early 2026! ✨

This is extra special for me because the First 5 app has been part of my spiritual routine for the last 6+ years.

✨ Hi friends, I’m Jennifer! ✨

I’m so excited to welcome you to this new space where I’ll be sharing my heart for writing, faith, and encouragement. 💜

I’m a mom, a storyteller, and a woman who has walked through some hard roads—including parenting a child on the autism spectrum, navigating grief, and finding God’s faithfulness in the middle of it all. Out of those experiences came my memoir Chosen for This (coming soon!), the beginnings of a YA fiction series called End of Days, and a children’s book series called When, written to help little hearts lean on God’s promises.

Here you’ll find:
📖 Reflections from my journey as a special-needs mom
🌿 Devotions + Scripture encouragement
✍️ Updates on my books & writing process (Chosen for This, End of Days, and When)
💬 Honest conversations about faith, family, and finding purpose

I’d love to get to know YOU, too! Drop a 👋 in the comments and tell me—what book has impacted your faith the most?

Let’s walk this journey together, encouraging one another as we go. 💜

💜 “You don’t have to be perfect to be awesome.” That’s a motto I’ve carried close to my heart ever since stepping into the journey of being an autism mom.

Perfection isn’t required—faith is. Strength is. Perseverance is. And when I forget that, I come back to this promise:

✨ “For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill His good purpose.” — Philippians 2:13

🌿 Friend, your imperfections don’t disqualify you. They make room for God’s glory to shine.

Do you struggle with perfectionism too?

Being an autism mom means carrying an invisible backpack full of bricks.

It’s therapy sessions, meds, meltdowns, IEP meetings, and explaining your child’s unique diagnosis more times than you can count. It’s defending them from judgment, crying in the bathroom so they don’t see, and wondering who will be there for them when you can’t be.
It’s heavy. And sometimes it feels like you’re carrying it alone.

But here’s what I’m learning: I’m never truly carrying it by myself …

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18)

When my patience runs out, His presence fills the gap. When my fears get loud, His peace quiets my soul. And when the weight feels like too much, I remember — God is holding both me and my child.

Autism moms, any mom really — He chose you. Not because you’re perfect, but because you’re the exact mom your child needs. 💙

You’re not walking this path alone.

💙 For Every Autism Mama Who’s Ever Felt Alone 💙

God’s not asking you to fix everything—He’s asking you to trust Him with everything. 🤍

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him…” — Romans 8:28

My book Chosen for This is coming soon—a raw, faith-filled memoir for autism moms walking through the hard and holy places. My prayer is that it will remind you that you are not alone. God is faithful, even here. 💙

💬 What’s one piece of encouragement you’d share with another autism mom? Drop it in the comments—I’d love for this to be a place where we lift each other up.

Your successes.
Your setbacks.
Your joys.
Your heartaches.

None of it is wasted. Every person you meet & every challenge you face is woven into the tapestry of God’s plan for your life. Even when life feels uncertain or messy, there IS purpose in the process.

✨ “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” — Jeremiah 29:11

If you believe God’s plan is good—even when you can’t see it yet—type Amen. 💜

How Are We Bringing Glory to God *Every* Day?

Not just on Sundays.
But in the everyday—the ordinary, the unseen.

✨ Choosing kindness over irritation
✨ Walking in peace when chaos hits
✨ Showing love when it’s hard
✨ Practicing self-control when tempted

This is what it looks like to live by the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).
These fruits aren’t just character traits—they are evidence that God is at work in us.

When we stay rooted in His Word, lean on Him for guidance, and reflect His heart in how we treat others—we bring Him glory.

So ask yourself today:

➡️ Do my words point to Jesus?
➡️ Do my actions echo His grace?
➡️ Am I allowing the Spirit to lead me, or am I operating on my own?

🙌🏼 Let your life say:
“To God be the glory, today and every day.”

#ToGodBeTheGlory #FruitOfTheSpirit #HolySpiritLeadMe #ChristianLiving #FaithInAction #MorningDevotional #BeTheLight #Galatians52223 #JenniferGossWrites

✨ Be thankful for today. You only see it once. ✨

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
— 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18

Even on the hard days—especially on the hard days—we are called to choose gratitude, cling to joy, and look for glimpses of God’s goodness.

My mom used to say, “Look for the pony in the muck. In all this mess, there has to be something good.” 🐴💫

And she was right. On the messiest days, I’ve learned to look harder—not for perfection, but for God’s presence. Because Jesus promised:
“Seek and you shall find.” (Matthew 7:7)

His goodness isn’t hiding. It’s everywhere. Sometimes, we just need a grateful heart to recognize it.

So today, choose to see it.
Choose joy.
Choose thanks.
Choose awe.

Now go out and be amazing. 🤍
