My Life, My Testament. You want to know about me, here it is....
I am Jenny, I am a Mother of 5 beautiful, wonderful and intelligent but very trying children. That's their Job! My first born and last 2 born live with me and my husband. My twins live with their adopted parents. They are a GIft from God. My oldest is 11 going on attitude, my twins are just now 8, my youngest are 5 and 4.
My Husband and I have been married since 2000. I must have been psychic as a child because I always told my Mom my sould mate was in Florida, where I was born. He is from Florida! I always said I would get married in the year 2000. I did.
The Lord works in wonderful and mysterious ways. If it wasn't for Jesus I wouldn't have made it through my childhood. He held me and kept my soul safe. You can't scoff at me, you don't know. Unless you've been there.
As an adult I went through years of pain and illness that the doctors could find no cause for. One day I remember being in so much pain and so desperate I was begging the Lord to take my pain away...I don't know how long I was talking, or Begging, but I fell asleep doing it. I woke up the next day for the first time in years with out the severe pain I had before then. The Lord heard my cries and my plea for help. He does listen to us. He is there. I can hear him tell me to stop and give people water when I see them working in the side of the road. I give anything I can, I give all I can. I think that is my mission. I survived torture so i can show love does prevail and it does exist. Kindness is still around us and you don't have to look far.
I was barely 18 when I joined the United States Army and became a Medic. The 5th generation in my family to serve our Great Country. I loved it, the pride I felt knowing I was serving every single American, Poor and Rich. I was helping, I was a soldier taking care of soldiers. The responsibility was so great. Looking back, The weight on my shoulders was immense, but it didn't bother me. I was stationed in Baumholder, Germany. They hated Americans. Being spit on was a daily occurance. But, it was the young Germans who didn't understand why we were there. They didn't know. It was ok with me that they were angry. I knew why I was there. I was still proud. I still took care of my soldiers and their sick and injured when I had to.
My Husband has become the Greatest Man in my life. He is a Chief in the United States Navy on board the USS Nevada. It is a submarine. After all of these years of struggles we are best friends and we depend on eachother for everything. When he is deployed it is so hard for me to go on. But, I do. The nights are for my tears, the daytime is for my children. Last year we lost nearly everything we owned in a fire and had to start over. That will put life into perspective for you. He was immedialely on the phone finding us shelter, contacting his command for help. He was so strong for me. I was devastated. I felt like an empty shell, he refilled me. My family is a wonderful support system for me, but it's never quite the same as the Man you dedicate your life to.
I have the Most loving and Caring Mom. And NO you can't have her! She has been there for me through everything I have been through. We have the best friendship. I remember her when I was little and I remember how soft and pale her hands were. She worked so much to keep food on the table and a roof over our heads I remember wondering how much longer will I get to see these beautiful hands? Everytime I see her now, I hug her and Kiss her then I look at her hands. They are still the same. She doesn't know I do that. I don't ever want to loose her. My childhood relationship with her was taken away from us, we only have now. Now is better than ever. I Love Her so much. She is so strong.
