Jen ~ Jen’s blog

Ok so I have been having issues all week and have been more than a little bit tired because she's sick right now. she has asthma and coughs like a seal and guess what it affects her worst at night when I should be sleeping so guess what by the time think I might be able to sleep the stinking alarms goes off. nevertheless, I am going to press thru this time of my life with joy inspite of the lack of sleep I am feeling. Of course, I am ranting right now but only because I know joy comes in the morning. How wonderful is that to, so at this point in this blog if you are not excited about that, don't worry I am exuberant enough for th both of us. Praise him.

People in jail are funny

Ok, so i'm writing because on Sunday I was finally baptized.  I am 26 years old and I guess I waited so long because I wanted to be sure I was totally committed and sold out for God.  I finally came to that realization and I am so happy.  It's the first time I have felt totally commited to something that I want to fight for my life to keep.  The ironic thing is that after I made this decision my life has been so different.  I mean the devil is really trying to attack me and I'm so glad that I can recognize this and see when it is happening.  I am also just so happy to have the holy ghost remind me of God's word.  The first thing I thought about once I realized how crazy this week has been was, well if the devil tempted Jesus at his lowest moment, who am I?  I am definetely not any better than him.  So i'm just like I will accept this time and learn to lean and depend on Jesus because he said he will never put more on me than I can bear.  Ok I am really just ranting right now because i'm just like, la la la... I'm so happy happy about being baptized it's like my old man was washed away.  You see I have a 2 year old daughter and honestly I thought my life was over.  Well not my life, but my soul... I was always taught you have kids after your married and women who don't obey are sinners... well okay I was a sinner I accept that but it was amazing that right before I was baptized I finally understood the importance of the scripture, "his grace is sufficient"  meaning even me who sinned and had a baby could still receive his grace and forgiveness... now who wouldn't serve a God like that????

Wow today is interesting I am learning how oblivious I am to things that seem to be a big deal to others. I guess I want God to help me recognize those things BUT not take them personal you know?

What talent do you have that you wish more people would recognize?

I have a talent of avoiding people's questions without making them feel bad, lol.  I think this is a great talent because I don't want to hurt people feelings but at the same time I don't want to entertain their childish or ignorant behavior. Ok, so I guess I should explain.  I had this young or old man, i couldn't really tell he was so bummy looking, try to talk to me at the Library today.  Well ok of course I don't want to tell the man i'm not interested please leave my presence.  So, I played along answering his questions with simple one word answers that were hopefully showing him that I was not interested.  However, guess what?  He didn't get the hint and I had to make alludes to a guy that I might be talking to.  Which is not a lie, I am talking to a guy, we all have guy friends right?   LOL... Now don't get me wrong I don't think i'm all that or anything like that it's just when you settled and with through wrong guy after wrong guy, you realize that it's time for you to stick to your standards and not lower them just to be with someone, you know?  Well that's my amazing talent.  I guess i'm glad a lot of people can't recognize it because it might hurt their feelings, LOL... take care.
