What Does Your Cover Look Like?

You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover…we have all heard that saying (insert eye roll) . If you had a cover that would tell the story of your past and current struggles, the baggage you carry that makes you ….well… YOU…what would it look like?

My cover…It would be one hot mess. There would be words, like depression, anxiety, dysfunctional family, sexual abuse, control issues, low self esteem, voices in my head, run away, scream, no support structure, and hot mess chaioticly scribbled.  There would be splatters of color covered by large black circles that seem to suck you in without warning.  There would be a beautiful girl being pulled in so many directions, by so many things/people that her limbs look like they will be torn off, her gorgeous curls are frazzled into a rats nest, at one point she looks too thin and then too heavy.

In all that hot mess, would be a giant heart because she has so much love for God, and the people that have been placed in her life or just along her path.

My name is Jennifer. I'm the wife of Dave, my favorite husband ever, and the mom to 450, give or take a few. I've given birth to two handsome baby boys, who have grown in to two handsome, wonderful young men. I do, however, provide snacks, bandaids, a listening ear, emotional support, calls to check in on, and so much more to about 450 kids at the high school where I am the "office lady". So in essence, I have 450 plus kids. My husband and I live in the middle of nowhere, in the upper left corner of the lower 48, with our dogs, cats, occasional cow, and a stray horse named Amber. In the absence of children in the home, our mixed breed lap dog, who happens to be the size of a small pony, has become our fur baby. I have a heart for the broken and hurting. God did not bring me through childhood abuse, bad decisions as a teenager and saved by Christ as an adult, to keep my story to myself. I firmly believe that we are not meant to walk this road alone, I mean God did create Eve because it wasn't good to leave Adam alone.
