Gosh, what do you do when you have so many thoughts/glimpses of what you feel the Lord is calling you to and/or showing you what he wants to accomplish through you? I am just feeling absolutely overwhelmed right now-but it is a good overwhelming feeling.
I really feel as though the Lord is just beginning to show me how he is putting the puzzle pieces of my life together and how he truly is going to use every experience that I have been through in order to make a difference in this world! As I sit here (I should be working on my paper that is due tomorrow) and ponder all of this, I can't help but be excited! So much so, that I just want to jump out and do everything right now!! I wish I could share everything right now, but I feel as though I need to keep quiet until everything is worked out in my mind-which can take a while!! :)
It probably doesn't help that one of my students called me and just got me even more excited about things!! By the way, this student who called me-she is AWESOME!! Gosh, God is going to do some AMAZING things through her life! I just can't wait to see it all!
So anyway, I am just becoming more and more thrilled as I begin to sense and see how God is working in my life. You know what's funny too-I think Luke is starting to see some things too and is getting excited about how God is going to use him!!
Anyway, just had to share and write out!! We will see what happens!

Sunday, July 8, 2007
WOW!! That's all I can say after today's church service. As many of you know, today was the day that I was to lead the Sunday service since our pastor was out of town. About a month ago he asked if I would be willing to speak on purpose to the church while he was out. Well, I agreed, but I must admit, I was a nervous wreck!! Always am before I speak to a group of people.
Anyway, it went absolutely wonderful! The Lord really came through and I just thank him so much for that! After the service I had quite a few people come up to me and just tell me how what I said really hit the spot and that I exceeded their expectations. So, Praise God!!! He's amazing and I just thank Him for being by my side the entire time. What was really interesting is that after the service, this girl that I do know somewhat, came up to me and said, "Jen, we have more in common that I thought." And she started to share with me some of her post-seminary experiences that she dealt with that were very similar to mine. It just amazes me how God uses our stories and experiences to then reach out to others.
All in all, it has just been a great day! After church, Luke and I went out to lunch with our friends Adam and Lisa and then after lunch, Luke and I headed to our friends house (Jim and Lynne) to go swimming in their pool. Then of course, we grabbed some yummy Mexican food and went back to their house to watch the movie, Apocalypto (SP?). Let me just warn you, if you have not seen this movie, it is intense! Be ready for some not so nice things that will just tear your heart out!
So, I must say-it's been a great relaxing day (after the church service of course).
Ok, I must go to bed now. I have a coaching call in the morning with a client, we have a service call for our AC in the morning, and I have quite a few phone calls to make in regards to women who are interested in coaching, and last but not least, two papers to work on that are due this weekend!
Goodnight!
