Sunday at church I heard this passage read, and it hit me.. slightly.. but today it hit me like a ton of bricks that the Lord knows the desires of my heart, even at times when I don't!
Let me back up-- last night around 9:30 I was so excited because A- I was tired and I was about to get in the bed, and B- I didn't HAVE to wake up before 6 am the coming morning! Yes- the little things excite me!
So, in natural Jena fashion I got my "things" together for my morning run, brushed my teeth and hopped in the bed for some late night Pinteresting and sleep! I was well on my way to finding some quite interesting looking recipes on Pinterest when I got a text from Aaron saying, "Do you have school tomorrow?" Honestly- I was thinking, seriously he's going to make me come in and work out on my day off---- I replied No and waited..... The next oh probably hour is just a huge mess as he begins texting me saying, meet me at so and so address tomorrow. I'm putting you on tv, 10:45 be there, dress nice, this is all for you, send me a split pic, get some sleep, tell all your friends, post it on facebook, etc. MEANWHILE- I am FREAKING OUT! What in the world is he talking about?!?! I posted it on facebook, sent out mass texts and just laid in the bed with a wandering mind... knowing that I had set out to conquer cemetery hill with some of my favorite girls the next morning....
We beasted that hill, plus high street hill and church street and just totally made Laurens county a running machine! I went to get ready for meeting with Aaron, still not totally knowing what I was getting into. Let me say right here-- I have the absolute best hair stylist in the world! Leigh Anne was willing to come to work and do my hair and make-up and I promise you, its the most gorgeous I have felt all my life...
The amount of overwhelming love, support, inspiration, and motivation that I felt yesterday was just that... OVERWHELMING and moving in a way that I can't explain. I got the pleasure to talk on air for about 4 mins about my weight loss journey with Jennifer and Aaron was there too. I'd be lying if I said I remember what I said. I totes had to watch that clip when I got home to know what exactly came out of my mouth!
Today I really learned that the Lord does know the desires of my heart. It wasn't until this experience that I knew it's what I wanted and needed. There is absolutely no way I can thank every one of you who sent me a sweet text today, posted on my facebook, commented on pictures, said a prayer for me or just told me I made a difference. YOU make a difference in my life...This day has been amazing, one I'll never EVER forget. The experience was incredible, scary, nerve wracking and something I hope that I always treasure. It was this day I learned my heart's desires.. and I think I might have figure out what I want to be when I grow up...... Guess you'll have to stick around for that....
In the mean time, enjoy pictures from today's unbelieveable day!
During the actual interview!
Jennifer had to help me get all wired up!
This girl was so sweet to me-- I asked, "What are you going to ask me?" She says, "You're going to be fine!"
Outside the building!
