Who the heck is Jenny Ford? That is the question I've been asking myself lately. I want to be a missionary for Him, I want to have purpose, I want to use my influence, but what does that look like on a daily basis? Can I still work my business and do that? Or do I give it all up and serve others who need me? Can I do both? A lot of exhausting questions.
Welp, first and foremost as Jenny Ford, I love God with my being, I love Jesus with my entire heart, I love my husband more than I could have ever imagined loving another person, I love my 3 kiddos more than cake (that's a lot :)). I love business. I love creating, I love changing the way people see things. I love being different, I love that I don't fit into the basic mold of society. I love being happy, silly, and I'm grateful for my optimism. I love that I'm creative. I really like making things beautiful. And lastly, I LOVE CAKE!
Here's what I'm working on - loving others for who they are and not judging them because they're not like me or don't do things the way I would. Being there for others when they're in need. Being present with my family and friends (I'll admit that sometimes I'm better at being present with my friends than I am with my own family - that's pretty crappy). Making sure that I don't stress about not getting everything done. Being a person that people want to be around or ask advice from. Being someone who uses my money and influence to make a difference in other's lives.
Lastly, asking God for everything - every single moment of my day. Constantly praising Him for the wonderful life He has given me.

I just wrote this to A in an email. I feel as though I haven't been "present" with my family. I'm making changes. I did not like the direction I was heading.
It's so helpful to ask these questions once in awhile.
I've had the pleasure of witnessing some of the things you're working on, and from my vantage point, I would say you're doing A+ work. You really can't go too off track when your heart is as centered as yours is.
I'm curious what your answer is to the other question: Who are WE? Who is humanity? How do we fit into the cosmos?
Because, you know, you didn't already have enough on your plate.
