Jen:
I'm 18.
A new chapter of my life is starting.
I strive everyday to become closer to our Heavenly Father, and to serve and live like Jesus Christ.
KONY 2012 is a film and campaign by Invisible Children that aims to make Joseph Kony famous, not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice.

So, I’m kind of going through a bad struggle this weekend. I was suppose to be a part of D-Now at my church, but because of some things going on, I was called and told that I won’t be allowed to this year.
When I heard this, I was heartbroken. D-Now was something that I was looking forward to for a few months, and I just found out that the opportunity has been taken from me.
I guess I understand why I can’t do it, but I just see it all as unfair. I wasn’t able to be a part of it. I wish I could have been there to witness everything. But, instead, I had to stay home.
I love my friends who were leaders and I’m happy for them, but I’m really envious as well. I wish I could have witnessed all those people who gave their life to Christ this weekend.
God,
break my heart and allow me to love everyone as my brothers and sisters. Allow me to become genuinely concerned for them, and to constantly pray for them all. Most of all, allow my selfish heart to care for the one person you know I can’t care about the way I must. Give my heart the love it needs to love him as my brother, and allow me to accept the closure that you have put upon our past relationship. Give me a revelation that will have my heart screaming with joy and excitement to show my love towards all of my brothers and sisters. Let me love them as much as you do.
This is too true. I hang out with a bunch of people that are in my college ministry group and in college from other churches, and I have an amazing time with them every single time, without fail.

I just woke up from one of the most real dreams that I’ve ever had. I was in a terrible car accident, and I ended up only slightly hurting my left ankle. I remember waking up in my hospital bed crying my eyes out to my parents because I didn’t know what happened to me, but they finally let me check myself out and I only saw the splint on my ankle.
It was the scariest feeling to be put in that position, and it still pains me to think back on that dream. But what that dream made me reflect on is how thankful I am for my health, and that God keeps me safe every day. I’m also thankful that He has watched over my family, especially my dad when he decides to stay out late and drink.
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
Psalm 91:1-2
