About Me


Christian Glitter by www.christianglitter.com
Jen here... (Jenny...Jennifer Sue Marie Louise) Wife of 17 years to David Michael... Mommy to THREE teenagers!~~ Em, Adam and AJ~Graphic Artist (well not so much anymore) ~Lover of great books & intense conversations ~PEOPLE ~Getting to the core... ...wanting to get my degree in Social Work and work a while in that field while getting a Masters. Do I need all that training? Yes, to a point, but basically I'll get it because even though a licensed counselor can only hope to make 30 to 45K a yr., our system makes people who want to help people spend twice that in education. Sometimes people who are hurting just need hugs. Soon we'll have to have a degree just to do that.

I've picked the songs in my playlist because: ~"Above All", Jesus loves and sustains me and He gave His life in order to know me personally,~Dave said "I Will Be Here" 17 years ago, and against every one else's advice I believed him, and against all odds, for reasons that I can't fathom, maybe only to show me here on earth what unconditional love is- he is here - still. thank you hon. ~Having my first child, Emily, changed my life and maybe because I lost my own mother when I was a child, I always dreamed of having a little girl and being the best mom I could be. I have made more mistakes than I ever thought possible but I still see love and forgiveness, "In My Daughter's Eyes". (Don't worry boys, my love for you runs just as deep, I just haven't found the songs yet that say what my heart feels)~ Still, life can SUCK and I want to and have tried to give up many times, but Martina McBride reminds me to keep going "Anyway".~Remembering I am sooo "Blessed" puts a smile on my face and helps me quit singing the blues.~No matter how together I sometimes feel or appear, I know that behind all the armor, "The Warrior is a Child"--I'm just a little girl and I need to crawl up on my Abba's lap and let Him hold me and protect me.~"Friends are Friends Forever" has been pointed out to me lately, Julie, i love you - we truly are forever friends.AND Jesus, I can't wait to see You. "I Can Only Imagine" what it will be like. (When she was a little girl, Emily said she couldn't wait to finally see You in heaven, so she could jump on Your back and let You give her a piggy back ride. Out of the mouth of babes... :) ~To be free of the sin that so easily entangles, to find never ending peace, to know joy that is eternal, You are all these things and I yearn for the day when You can hold me in Your arms.
