| I figure not to many people like it
when you write stuff that is not personal, but today I wrote a short
story and wanted to see what you guys think about it? So here it is,
Blessing's, -Jenna
Mr. Wandering Man
Walking with a slumped back and shuffling feet, a man deep in sorrow,
full of grief. He was laughed at, ignored, and teased; coming to and
understanding in his mind that he would never trust a human being
again, they all cheat and lie; he would never forgive them for their
unkindness.
It was a struggle to do everything on his own, even in pain when he remembered where he was from.
He was high up in the world at one time, just like those that were
walking by his bare feet and cardboard house; he was once just like
them, he could walk by a homeless and not even pay him no mind... now
he's on their side of the fence and building up bitterness.
Being chased away from supper (a dumpster), he decided if the day ever
came when he could change what he was, he would make a difference. No,
no he would not be like the rest if he was blessed again with what he
had. Oh no, he would use it to make a difference!
Oh he was fearious! Why had he not seen this before? When did he ignored their pleading eyes?...
Stumbling across a child and her mother in his fiery; those same
pleading eyes looked up at him. 'Mr. can you help my mommy?' The little
girl asked; 'No, I can't,' He said, 'I'm just like you, worthless!'
'Can you pray for her Mr. God knows what's wrong with her, doesn't He?'
She asked, 'I suppose He does, but why would He want to help anyone
like her?' 'Because he healed the leper, and the lame man.' She replied
and bowed her head and began to pray to her God, even going as far as
praying for the wandering man whom she liked to call 'Mr.' Soon after
the 'Amen.' an elderly couple joined them and asked if they would like
some assistance to a hospital. So the couple gathered the women and the
child and of they went with a God bless you to the Mr.
The man began to ponder, if God was the one who sent those kind people
by for the mother and child, then maybe there really is some kind ones
in the world after all. Maybe this God would heal his wounded soul? He
then began to pray, 'God I'm not the best guy in the world and I've
done a good many bad things; but if you would please come and help me,
I'd like to be of use to You just like that couple who was here today.
I'd like to help people in my own area of living if You would just show
me how, I'm Your willing servant.'
The Mr. heard a still small voice say, ' Surrender.' The man thought, '
I don't have nothing to give.' Then he heard it again, ' Surrender.'
Then he thought it was a delusion; and said out loud: 'Great, their
gonna send me to the bin!' The voice got stronger, 'Surrender, let go
of you will and hang onto Mine!' The Mr. began to understand that God
didn't want something in earthly possession, but something that was
within. And after he surrendered to God's will and gave his heart to
Him, He opened his heart to greater things and walked into a homeless
ministry with him.
How far are you willing to go to except the call on your life? But then
also remember that every trial is leading you a bit closer to the
calling God has on you and every bit closer to Him. What kind of
impression are you leaving on others, are they finding their call while
watching you walk yours with God?

| Well, I'm back home now. Back to work. Back to responsibilities. Yay.
Haha! Hmmm... I've had a few eventful things happen this week, first
off Beth's birthday party, much fun! Even the part where Nick asked me
if I was ready to leave and I said 'yes' and started walking out, only
to find out he was not right beside me, a total stranger was though!
Note to self: always check and make sure your walking next to the person your intending to walk next to!!!
Next, The Waller family gave me a car for transpertation to and from
work and all the little in betweens. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
It can even go through our creek without touching the bottom! That is
amazing! Last time I went through it the water splashed over the
hood... the creek was a bit higher then I thought! Needless to say this
car makes me feel very small. It is therefore named the 'Boat'.
Um, besides that I have been working and cleaning up the house from all
the time I was gone, it's catch up time! Two of our dog's are lost, and
we think there's a Couger (sp?) in the neighborhood, so who knows what
the dog's conditions are, I hope they turn up alive on our front porch
though.
Both my Mom and brother Jessy are looking for job's, so please keep
them in your prayer's that the right jobs for them would come in His
time.
Also please, please be praying that my Papa's heart would be softened,
and that the Father would minister to him in a way he's never been
ministered to before. He's been getting worse at home, and it's not
very fun for my Grandma to live around.
Thanks for keeping my family in your prayer's!
Shalom,
Jenna

| Hello Everyone!
Well, This whole week has been my week off from work, so I've had time to catch up with work at home, Haha!
On Wenesday I went home with my Grandparents, and thats where I am now, I'll be here till Saturday. It's nice spending time with my Grandparents I haven't been able to do this since I had the Community Market job. I did some sleeping over here when I worked at the nursing home, but not as much.
Mom came by yesturday to hang out, so Grandma , mom, and I went to town together, much fun Then Nick came for supper after mom had gone, so he could sleep over since he was in the area.
So I got to hang out with him for a while.
Hmmm... I don't know what all to say, I can't think of anything very interesting...
Please be praying for the Waller Family, Their Grandpa 'D-daddy' Died earlier this week, Grandma and I will be going to the funaral together tomorrow.
Blessings to all of you!

| What would you call this? The middle of Hanukkah?
Haha! Well, I've been pretty busy lately but not that busy at all!
Does that makes since? Yestuday I bummed around with Melissa and, helped
her clean house. Then ran home and got ready to go to their fellowship!
I also saw Luke Tomlinson in town at the local Hobby Lobby That was kinda shocking
but fun
Today I have just been doing some chores such as: bringing wood in for the wood stove, and
feeding the animals, and taking my dog for a walk.
I also stopped by my friend Melinda's house, who is just a few houses
down from us, and hung out with her, she's expecting a bunch of family
later this evening, so was preparing for them.
Not much else is going on. I'm just thinking about all the chores I need to do, and what I have energy for!
Blah Blah!
Anywho, I best be going and start doing the talk
Much love! -Jenna
