Chef Jen

Sometimes I get an idea and I like to try it. This week was the week for cooking. I am in my 2nd, 3rd week of weight watchers. I have lost 7.8 lbs so far so I am very encouraged that means that when I eat this will not just be to loose weight but to make it a change in lifestyle. I do not usually compare myself to people on TV but there was the cutest lady on a commercial the other day and I thought...hmm I used to be that thin. Now, mind you I was also training for the marathon then but whatev... Anyway, so this week I made stir fry chicken. I just ate that with some greens and was surprisingly satisfied. I am trying some Garlic Lime Chicken tonight. I am very excited cause I love those flavors together. I will keep you posted on how it goes.
I am almost ready to share my story in all of it's glory but the thought of it wears me out so I will wait a while longer. I am so thankful for the people that just prayed for me. I am ready for a summer to relax and a spring break to not worry. God is so good.

Prayer for Mercy

Today my friend is waiting for her sister to die while another friend is waiting to see if her baby will live. It is a tough life for believers. But we know that God will use everything for His good. He will bring glory to Himself in all situations.

Funny Kids

I have a class full of sweet kids. Today, however one of the kids ( 6 years old) broke up with his girlfriend because he didn't want to have kids. He apparently had seen some videos and it scared him. Now, as far as videos...I am not sure what a kid is looking at that makes him not want to be a dad. :-)

Also, I had a kid want to miss his special classes today to do research. He has 6 states that he wants to learn about and made me go to the library during specials to check out some books. The internet is not enough?

Happy New Year!!

My Cup Runneth Over!!

Yesterday was one of the best Christmas' I have had in several years. I was able to spend time with my family and I was renewed. My sister and I cooked breakfast and fed nine people Christmas morning. We made our famous Sleepin' in Omlette, banana bread and other "fun stuff." It was a time where we were just able to be a family. This time last year I was, unknowingly, beginning a tough time in my life. Praise God it is over now and He has begun to restore my soul. I plan to write more when the time is right but now I am just so thankful as I realize that my desire is to Delight myself in the Lord and HE will give the desires of my heart. Psalm 37:4
