I don't have kids. I don't have a job. What I do have is time. That time came in very handy today as I accompanied a dear friend of mine to different doctors for various tests and scans. I had been thinking this week that I'd like to do more with my life, but I am where I am by God's choosing, and it is a good place to be . . . wherever God puts you. If I did have kids, or if I had a job, I wouldn't be able to be with my friend at this time.
I previously said I admired a woman who can be tough AND tender, strong AND sensitive. Now, I need to BE that woman. I need to be tough for my friend, making sure she understands all the medical jargon and gets the answers to her questions, and I also need to be tender with her, able to cry with her and feel her pain and disappointment.

Bravo--and prayers that you will be who you pray to be and work that out.
You have a unique and special ministry, Jen. I am so thankful to God for your example to me. Just know that God is using you in great ways, even if you sometimes wish for "more."
