HGTV Star Faces Relatable Fear by Trusting This Promise from God…
By Movieguide® Contributor
HGTV’s Jenny Marrs is reminding us to face our fears and meet God “right where you are most afraid.”
“Yesterday, Dave and I were flying home from a speaking event, and as we took off, I whispered a prayer asking for a glimpse of the joy that a dear friend describes when she flies,” Marrs posted on Instagram. “I love that she always says, ‘the top side of the clouds is my happy place’ (mostly because it’s truly incomprehensible to me).”
She shared that, as the plane took off, she opened her window shade; something she typically doesn’t do after once seeing the engine catch fire in midair. This time, she saw a beautiful scene of the sun over the clouds, which she shared on Instagram.
“When we landed, I texted that friend: I’m thankful I opened the window,” Marrs wrote. “I still struggle with fear and am not a fan of being high up in the air in a metal tube, but I’m grateful for this unique vantage point to see the beauty God created.”
She continued, “Friends, if you’re facing something that makes your heart race and your palms sweaty today, I hope this video of the top side of the clouds can remind you that He will meet you right where you are most afraid. And, right there in that incomprehensible place, may He give you a glimpse of joy. As His kids, we can rest assured that we’ve been promised peace — a peace that covers our minds and hearts and is infinitely more powerful than any fear (John 14:27).”

Marrs and husband Dave are currently promoting Season 6 of their popular show FIXER TO FABULOUS.
“It’s pretty crazy,” she told the audience at a recent event of the show’s hectic production schedule. “It’s mass chaos. It’s nonstop during filming season.”
Dave added, “We didn’t think we’d be doing it this long. We feel like it’s a ministry. We feel like when we’re not supposed to do the show anymore, God will say ‘I’m closing this door and opening another one.’”
In an Instagram post celebrating the season premiere, Marrs wrote, “I can’t believe we get to do this. I’m so grateful we get to share these stories with you all.”
