Well, today was a bitter sweet day. It was my last day of work at Southwest Office Systems. I am excited for what is to come next, but I am sad to be leaving behind a great job. I really enjoyed working there because I had the priviledge of working with great people. They're a lot of fun!
I feel blessed to have been able to work there. It was totally a God-thing because it was perfect timing and for the perfect amount of time. God really blessed me by providing me with this job. It was just right for me, even if it was for a short amount of time. I'm thankful for all the friendships I was able to build. I just hope that I can do my best at keeping in touch with everyone.

Farmer Jen
I want to share something really exciting (at least it was exciting to me) that the Lord showed me on Sunday. I was praying during the Lord's Supper and He brought the word "harvest" into my mind. I immediately thought about agriculture and the idea of how a farmer harvests his crops. You all know how much I love agriculture and that my childhood dream was to be a farmer. I even studied it in college, but just haven't been sure how God is ever going to use that (which is still the case today).
Then, the Lord showed me the following passages about the harvest:
35Do you not say, 'Four months more and then the harvest'? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. 36Even now the reaper draws his wages, even now he harvests the crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. 37Thus the saying 'One sows and another reaps' is true. 38I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor." -John 4:35-38
35Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. 36When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." -Matthew 9:35-38
The more I thought about this, the more I realized that even if I don't ever have a farm of my own or do anything agriculturally during my lifetime, I can still be a farmer. I am here to reap and harvest souls. How cool is that?! I am Farmer Jen!
