Grandmothers are funny!

I was talking to my grandmother yesterday for about an hour.
Now my grandmother loves Jesus,speaks her mind,has a very strong personality and if she doesn't agree with what you say she'll tell you.
Oh yes and is always reminding us to "Save your money for a rainny day"
If you tell her your going to school she will ask what your taking,then question how that's going to improve your life,or what job are you going to get with that.?
So if your not going to become a Doctor,law student,nurse etc
She thinks it's a waste of your time,money etc.
So I told her I applied to go to the War College,explained it was bible school basically.
She asks "So what kind of job can you get from that".
I was a little surprised she didn't put it together Christain,Bible School,Better relationship with Jesus Etc.
Instead I had to explain it to her,and sorry I wasn't going to become prime Minister of the country from this education.
So I said to her "When I get to heaven & see you I'll explain how this education benefited me."
You got to love grandmothers!!

Joke Of The Week

The Documentry team was over in the War room filming a prayer session,when one of the producers said "Can you do that again, God heard you but the camera didn't."
So we did. I thought that was funny & cute.

Hanging out with Jesus

Jesus likes to hang out with me ,too bad I am always so busy all the time.
That's why I think he allowed me to get sick.
So I will have no excuse not to hang out or talk to him.
I remember back in Febuary last year,I was really sick and had the Salvation Army come over to do Jen's Kitchen.
I was talking to Jesus and told him I can't affored to be sick right now,this is a bad time.
Well I don't think he liked that,because he then told me "Go rest in peace"
I told one of the Salvation Army soilders as I was running around jumping up and down,squwaking about the mess they were making in my kitchen. (Iam a bit of a clean freak)
Not to mention a perfectionst.
Well one of the Salvation Army soliders had to remind me what Jesus said, So I finally went to bed to Rest In Peace.
(I think everyone was happy I went to bed so they could get back to work.)

Pickton's trial

As everyone must know,Robert Pickton is going to trial Jan 29th,2006
I was told by the Vancouver police.
Now this is something every christain should be praying for:
Robert Pickton's Salvation,So he tells the truth at his trial about everyone who was involved,but not charged yet.
Pickton and his helpers preyed on the women of the DTES,took them to his pig farm.
Now different stories are said about what went on there such as snuff films,bikers paying for sex shows or watching women getting tortured.
But what we do know for sure is he killed these women then feed their body parts to his pigs.
The police didn't do any thing for a long time because it was drug addicts,sex workers,poor native women going missing.
This should never have happened or happen again.
It goes to show the gaps in society christains need to fill.
Imagiane where these women would be today if someone cared,or if they had Christain Community.
Now I know Christains want to look the other way about this subject,because of how disturbing it is,But that's all society ever did and look where it got us over 100 women from the DTES DEAD!!!.
Would you look the other way if this was your daugther,sister,mother etc.
NO you wouldn't!!
Doesn't it say in the Bible we are all part of the body of Christ,well half of your body was murdered and you choose to look the other way!!.

Spelling

I do a lot of my bolg's late at night,so my spelling is always a bit off.

Long Suffering

What goes that mean?
I was trying to figuare out what my was.

Iam always sick with something or another.
What do you guys think it is?

Sick of the Devil

I figured out why I am so sick,so quickley too. (Skin infection,kidney infection,fever)
The devil is afraid!
Jen's Kitchen has just kicked off our Dinner's to go program.
We had a meeting with Vivan house,offered our outreach services.
The workers at Vivan house we talk to weren't quick to take our help,they asked if we had a religous agenda.
The reason for that is, they know,satan knows that place needs Jesus,and they don't want that to happen.
But Jen's Kitchen did get through,we are allowed to bring food over once a week.
We also talked about teaching cooking programs,which they were open to.
There isn't words to discribe what I saw or felt at the Vivan.
So pray Christain Community get's into Vivan House.
And also pray for my health lots!!


P.S. Little does the devil know I don't give up,take no for an answer. And a little sickness never stopped me before.
So nice try Satan,but you forgot you lost the fight long time ago when Jesus died and rose 3 days later for our sins.

Raising the standard

Jen's Kitchen likes to raise the standard of how the poor,hungry & needy are to be treated and feed.
I see and hear a lot of people give rotten,stale old food to the hungry and then say "beggers can't be chosers,you should appreciated what you get."
Well would you serve the rich the same food? proably not.
If your willing to put time and energy into making the rich a nice dinner,then why aren't the poor worth the same effort?
It says in the Bible that when you feed or cloth some one you are also doing to same to Jesus.
So would you serve the King Of Kings rotten,stale food& dirty clothes?
If you were ,I really would be worrying about where you would be spending your enternity.

What Jesus did for me today

I was coming home late to night,wearing my high heel shoes.
I could't even walk a block with out stopping and complaining about my feet hurting.
The pain us women go through to look good.
I sat and waited for a bus,nothing was coming.
I asked people around me if the buses still ran,I was told they do.
But nothing came,so I waited and waited,then came to the realizing fact I was going to have to walk home.
I stood at the bus stop and prayed that Jesus would work out a ride,also reminding him I would complain to him all the way home.
So I started out on my painfully walk,looking behind me to see if a bus was coming.
I didn't even make it to the end of the block when this gentlemen stopped and gave me a ride.
He said " you look like you were waiting to catch a bus" I said yes and gave him my address.
As I was sitting in his van,I got this peacefully feeling this wasn't a stranger I was sitting beside.
But mabey one of Jesus's heavenal hosts.
I can't remember the exact wording,but in the Bible doesn't it say something about entertaining angels.

doesn't it say in the Bible

Don't mind if I screw up

This is my first blog
So I am still fine tuning my computer skills.
I noticed I copied my last blog two times.
In my lack of computer defence,I guess what I had to say was just that importantit needed to be said two times.

Who would like to help me?

One of the plans this year for Jen's Kitchen is: renovating
We will be going to the Vivan to clean up the place.
We will paint walls,wash bathrooms,clean the womens rooms etc.
Also I would like to start cooking and delivering the food to woman's homes,because a lot of the woman don't have any hot plates or microwaves.
This also can bring these women into Christain Community,alot of the women in the DTES hear about Jesus Christ but don't see his love in action.
So let's make that our new year plan: Puting Jesus love into Action.
For any one intrested in helping me with my idea's give the office of Jen's Kitchen a call at

(604) 215-0026 or E-Mail me at survivorjen@spinfinder.com

History

I'll give the history of Jen's Kitchen for those who do not know it.
Jen's Kitchen was started by a servival sex worker for servival sex workers.
I Jen know what it's like to have to have sex for money just to eat.
So I wanted to make sure woman didn't have to keep living the way I did for food.
I started making lunches in my home and taking them out on to the street to where the women worked.
Our mission statement is : Show the love of Christ in benifical & practical ways.
Jen's kitchen relys totally on the faith of Jesus Christ to provied everything.
And because of that we have went from a little food reaif program no one heard of to this amazing ministey that has expaned into a food bank,peer support,doing home visits with the woman,cleaning thier homes.
Jen's Kitchen has been televised,written about & on the radio sence it started 15 months ago.
We have had many volunteers from many diffrent backgrounds.
Our many goal is that the recipants of Jen's Kitchen become leaders of the program.
We want these women to know "your a part of society not a problem of society."
If you have any questions just ask them in the comment section.

Healing

Jen's Kitchen was out last night handing out food and Christmas gifts to the women. When we got to trann stroll (transvestites prostituting) to my suprise I came across the tranny who attacked me and broke my nose two years ago.

It was interesting because I had no anger, resentment or retaliation as I was standing face to face with this person. I was able to show Jesus' love and give him a Christmas gift and lunch and talk to the person (general Hi, how are you, stay safe) and walk away.

It is amazing the growth Jesus has done in me because if I had bumped into this person before now I wouldn't have thought twice about attacking the person. So that just shows Jesus' timing is always right and the healing that has taken place in my life. Jesus knew it was the right time for me to see the person again, that it would be ok and that there would be no problems.

It says in the Bible, 'by Jesus' stripes we are healed' and Jesus did a great example of that last night. I am still amazed by what happened. Jesus is good.
