This is Jennifer Cantrell, formally known as Jennifer Redman.I married Brian Cantrell, July 13th 2001. We moved to South Carolina where Brian received his Masters degree. I then became pregnant and we moved to Oklahoma where my family is located. We had Jaden Kristian Cantrell on July 17th 2003. When Jaden was one year old we moved to South Korea where we are currently residing. On March 16th 2006, we had Rocco Gabrien Cantrell, here in Korea. We have now lived here for two years. In February we moved to Itaewon. I like it here because we are right beside the military base so everyone speaks English. We also live five minutes from our church, which we love. It has a lot of great programs that we are involved in and the boys love it too. As far as my personality....that would take a while. Let's just say I have a lot of things that annoy me. I can't stand it when strangers tell me how to take care of my kids. Hate it when people blow their cigarette smoke in my face! It grosses me out when I see spit on the sidewalk. Don't like it when people invade my "bubble" unless you are my friend. I am very aggressive when I drive and am not afraid to use my horn. I get extremly offended when married people flirt. Don't know how to respond to compliments. The more I learn the dumber I feel. Don't like dogs in the house, or the smell of popcorn. Listening to opera makes my hair curl! Can't stand being around bratty kids. I don't like wearing clothes that other people have. I'm not moody. I speak more than one language. I'm not a fan of chocolate. I could eat Mexican food every day and be happy. Love to swim. Deathly afraid of crabs.I enjoy speaking in public and love to make people laugh.I always get nervous when people testify. I hate cleaning the dishes but I love to clean my bathroom, which I do several times a week. Love the smell of pine sol. I hate shopping but can't stop myself from buying purses and shoes.... I won't say how many I own! Strange things happen to me all the time, my life is defined by awkwardness. I have a tendency to put my foot in my mouth. I am sensitive. I am opinionated and not afraid to stand up for my beliefs. I am a leader and never have been a follower. I can't remember names but I never forget a face. I can't sleep with socks on. I can't live without q-tips. I think tanned fat looks better than white fat. Never understood people who think they are hot and don't mind telling you that. My favorite drink is water. My biggest fear is disappointing God and not living my life in daily surrender to Him. I wish I could forget my past regrets. I hate gossip! I am baffled at what my husband sees in me and why he still puts up with me. I believe love is blind. I think newborn children are the only innocent thing left in this world. I don't know how I ever survived without my boys. My ultimate goal is to hear God say to me, "Well done, thy good and faithful servant"
A Prayer to Help You Comfort Others - Your Daily Prayer - April 25
Have you ever wondered if there is any purpose in your suffering? We certainly don’t go looking for suffering—it comes to us because life is a journey through difficulties and triumphs. Sufferings are a reminder of what Jesus Christ went through and it is a way for us to encourage others.
