THE REST OF THE STORY (after the years shared in Jen's book) is...
Introduction
If you've read Jen's/Sara's true story, you know without a doubt that GOD has worked
MIRACLES
in Jen Miller's life by His power, for His
purposes,
through her choice to
allow Him to
use her in ministry to others. As she continues to work to be "transformed
by the renewing of [her] mind (Romans 12:2 NIV)," God continues to fulfill His promises
in and through her life. His promises can be a
reality
in YOUR life simply by your choice to follow
the principles of His Word, the Bible.
Through
His
principles and promises, Jen has
moved profoundly
against
human
odds:
from mere surviving
day-to-day
life
to empowerment and THRIVING.
Only GOD, who
has a
distinctive
purpose
for
EVERY
person -
YOU -
could have
pulled
up this highly
lacking,
drowning-in-the-slimy-pit
young
woman, Jen
(a.k.a.
Sara),
and SET
HER FEET
ON
THE
ROCK to STAND (Psalm 40:2 NIV / Ephesians
6:13
NIV).
One can't fully
appreciate
GOD's intimacy, power, and miracles through Jen's history
of ministry
herein without stepping
back in time with Jen/Sara by
reading
her "powerful and
miraculous" life
story Now I Lay Me
Down
To
Sleep: The Story of Sara (Pub. 2008).
Jen's/Sara's
life testimony
proves
that
GOD IS LIVING AND INTIMATE
in every
aspect
of our lives. She proves that His
principles
are
true and transforming, that He is the ONLY
WAY to wholeness and freedom of heart and
mind, and the promise of eternal life.
Her story
proves that
His
promises are REAL - for you,
if you choose to commit your
life to Him. Her
story proves that He has
a divine
and
distinctive purpose for
every person born - YOU.
"Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any
God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him." (Isaiah 64:4 NIV)
"Our righteous acts
are as
filthy rags,"
God says in Isaiah
64:6 (NIV). Jen's ministry
history, therefore, cannot in any way glorify her. What she has
been
empowered to do by
God's power - against human odds - can only
glorify HIM and
who HE is. Read more...
Ministry to Others - A Distinctive Call of God
God's ministry history of Jen represents over
35 years of HIS movement, His
leading and prompting
her
to serve
others
pro-actively
through
hands-on
ministry,
"purposed
in advance" by Him for
her to do. Read more...
- Today
Jen serves as a licensed, ordained Chaplain-Minister, CFMI, dedicated to ALL women
of all
ages and stages of life. She shares, "I love what
Martin Luther said, 'There are only
two
days on my
calendar:
Today
and that Day'. He was speaking of the
day all human-
kind
will stand before the
judgment seat of
Christ
and give an
account of our every
thought,
decisions,
and actions
- for Him and against
Him." Read more...
- Full Circle, 2005-Present
In the fall of 2005, Jen knew the time had finally arrived for her
to
write and share
her life
story that would be called "tragic, miraculous, transforming, life-giving, full of hope,
inspiring, awakening
..."
(Jen) "...after 17
years of
knowing
that day would come. I was so pressed in my
spirit to
prove
to mankind
(through my
life story), that the promises of God ARE real
and
miracles DO happen. And to show that every individual
- no matter how they
have suffered
or sinned - CAN
become all God
created him/her to
be. What kept
ringing
through
my mind during those months of writing (and questioning God
about the no-holds-barred approach),
that encouraged me to be
so real and so
terrifyingly
vulnerable,
was this scripture, 'For such a time as this,' from Esther 4:14
(NIV)." Read more...
- Women’s Ministry, 1993-Present
Pressed in her heart and mind toward
deeper
personal growth, healing, wholeness,
and
a greater compassion and desire to see
women move from "surviving to thriving"
in daily life,
Jen
received professional training as as a facilitator
for
women’s recovery and support groups, and in 2008 acquired a refresher course.Read more...
- Adult Ministry, 1993-1995
God continued to expand Jen's heart capacity for ministry to
others while
stre-e-etching her
own
personal
growth. Read more...
- Youth/Teen Ministry, 1989-1991 & 2008
Given a third chance at life (read the book!),
in 1990
Jen and
her second
husband
(God's choice this time), chose individually and as a
couple
to root
deeper in their
personal relationships with God through Jesus Christ. They
stepped up
to
serve as
youth
leaders for
junior and senior high students. Read more..
- Family Ministry, 1985 to 1988
Amid continual personal heartbreak and poor choices
(read Jen's book),
God
led Jen through further personal growth while furthering
her
training as a minister
dedicated to women and teenage girls. She gained training as a lay
therapist with
her
state’s
Agency for
the Prevention of
Childhood
Abuse and Neglect. Read more...
- Children’s Ministry, 1976 to 2000
By the mid 70s, still pressed in on every side by
darkness and evil (detailed in Jen's
book),
God pointed
Jen's heart
to
extend His love and
care to children in their
vulnerable, fragile,
refreshing innocence. Read more...
