Jen has spoken.

Alrighty. so after much demand, I’m actually going to attempt a real blog post. be proud.   
I haven’t actually decided or really thought about what I  really wanted to blog about.   I’m slightly inexperienced at this but I used to do xanga…does that count for anything? lol 
uhmmm…. life. Life is great.  Ever since coming to Southeastern I’ve learned so much.  Especially this semester.  One thing I really came to realization was how shallow my faith was.  Everything I had learned was Sunday School type as well of course handed down from my parents.  Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, and makes a good foundation, but my faith had never really been challenged.  I was content with where I was at.  So with this realization, these past few months I’ve tried to challenge myself with a lot of my beliefs and why I believed that.  I’ve been reading the Bible and simply just trying to find out what I believe and what is Biblical.  My eyes have been opened on a lot of issues that I thought I knew what I believed, and I’ve realized how wrong I was and amazingly awesome God is.  Some things I’m definitely still trying to figure out…if you’re reading this, you probably know what I”m talking about.  haha.  
My other realization was trusting God.  One of my favorite verses used to be Prov 3:5-6 “trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your understanding…”   It sounds simpler said that done.  I’ve had so many issues per se that I’ve realized are pretty much out of my hands, and that I need to trust God completely.  Not with just the little easy things, but with absolutely everything… be it with friends, mission trips, boys, money, and results of me being a klutz.   For example I’m supposed to be going to Thailand in the summer for over a month.  I’ve been sooo excited about this but also extremely worried about how I was supposed to raise so much money. So I started working at school.  I had just started putting money aside when i got in my uhh…accident.  Now I have no way of raising the money working for a least a couple months. I also might have to have surgery which would put me out of work right before the trip.  As hard as it is and hard to understand, I’m trusting God that if He wants me to go on it, He will provide the money and also that I’ll rely on Him more than ever. 
 My last realization is this. I’m am a procrastinator.  I’ve always known this, but not to this extent, as you can see the results of it being that this is my first real post. haha O. and I’ve decided that Sebts should have a degree in socializing. It would make my life so much easier. ;)   
in other news. easter break has been..uhmm…different than my other breaks.  I’ve been home a lot more, being that I can’t drive right now, many doctor appointments, and more family time.  I guess this is a good thing. :) I definitely miss the Wa-fo and everyone there.    
I hope this blog is to everyone’s satisfaction.  If not, my apologies.  but this is me and my thoughts over the past months. 
Hope everyone has a superb and blessed Easter!!! Pray that traveling will go smoothly for me. thaaanks!
