For those who don’t know me! I am Jen, born and raised in Germany, saved by amazing Grace and crazy about Jesus. I fully surrendered my life to Christ in February of 2014. Sometimes I wonder if I actually would have gone to the eternal place before that. Sure I talked a lot about God but my actions didn’t line up with scripture. I should have eaten ‘’my daily bread’’ but instead I preferred the cake. I wanted to have it and eat it too, not thinking of any consequences that will come with it. At times I can’t wrap my head around the fact that God never gave up on me, giving me second, third and fourth chances, loving me no matter how far away or hypocritical I was or still am! I had to suffer a big heartbreak until I finally let go of everything I ever wanted and gave all of me to Jesus.
Since that day my life has been a crazy adventure of trust, love, forgiveness, pain and a changed self. Jesus wrecked my heart for the hurting, the least of these, the ones nobody wants to love. My heart breaks for girls and women that are chained to the lies of the world, not knowing how loved and valued they are. Sex trafficking and any type of abuse against women and children crushes me and turns me into a Jesus Girl that fights for justice and freedom.
I am outgoing, silly and I will always stand up for the Truth. Since I meet Jesus, I don’t really care about what people think about me anymore. At the end I only have to answer to God and I try to walk in His will on a daily basis. I adore my girlfriends and sisters in Christ like crazy. I love their different personalities, their unending grace, encouragement and honesty. Iron sharpens iron!
I am a Doer, if God says Go, I will Go. Sometimes I don’t like to go but who Am I to argue with God. The regular nights of watching a movie and having pizza are long gone, but I was never satisfied with that anyway. The American Dream is bizarre to me. I believe God made me for more than a cozy life. God uses me and you to change the world. He has prepared big adventures for us, all for His glory. The World Race will be only one of His pieces in the puzzle of my life.
Books are my hiding place, especially the Book of Truth! I am crazy about soy lattes and chocolate. I think I need to slowly break that addiction, but I am sure God will take care of that once He pushes me out of my cozy suburban life come July 2015. Jesus is my red bull that keeps me going even when I want to give up
At the end of the day I am just a broken, messed up girl that is loved, saved and adored by an amazing Savior. I am far from perfect, addicted to grace and thankful for every new day. I am excited about life and life to come, knowing that my past is forgiven and my future is secure. If He is for me who can be against me! Waking up to that promise every morning is all I will ever need.
