a few things :)

in my beth moore bible study, we have been learning about being filled with the spirit. last week we had a discussion about how you know if you are actually hearing the spirit or if it is just your mind thinking things you want to think. discernment is hard when you aren't used to it. this past week i've been trying to practice this daily and I feel like the Lord has specifically shown up in situations to show me that I am actually hearing his spirit when I think I am. this is a very cool thing. I still wonder sometimes though. especially when you have an opinion about what you want to happen in a certain situation. you could easily think things that could be interpreted as the spirit. its just hard to know where the line is. i suppose that is where scripture comes in.

things i love that have happened lately...

there is a precious girl named nikki, who went to my high school. she was a couple years under me but we soon became friends and bonded over our love for the Lord and donald miller. nikki came down here for college, and it is 4 years later and we JUST went out to eat for the first time! oh man. i miss her. she is great. we went to olive garden and learned a valuable lesson about unlimited meal deals when you have a small stomach, but also found some amazing soup. i am hooked.

love: megan, angie and I are "walking" for the cure on saturday! what a treat. we're not runners. well, angie is, but not with baby silas in her belly :)

speaking of angie, holly, jen, randi, and i threw her a little baby shower last sunday! it was so fun and full of small baby presents! i think she liked it a lot :) jen and i went in on a gift together that i have been keeping a secret until it could be revealed, and now that it is... i will post a picture... this is rocking moose. thank you ikea. how precious?!

the refuge medical clinic. maria and i volunteered there all last semester and did not go at all this past summer. but we went for the first time in a long time yesterday! it was great. i love the clinic and everyone there! its so great to see the patient's reaction to how full of joy it is there. the picture is maria and i with debbie. we LOVE her.

pollen count has been down. oh thank the Lord. i can't handle kentucky allergies much longer. neither can my nose.

on a sad note: it is my last few days with jonah the jetta. i am trying to spend some quality time bonding. man i love jonah. don't worry, there will be an ode-to-jonah post soon. pictures need to be taken before this is possible.

well, i hope the end of the week is treating you well and that the Lord is revealing himself to you in awesome & new ways!

love, jenna
