"What emotion in you is the strongest?" The first word that occurred to me was "restless". Then the part "I am fearful" leaped off the page and stirred an echo in my stomach. When I sensed the leading in my heart to write up a comment, which is the first time adventure in my entire life, my heartbeat sped up: "What if my comments sound stupid?" "What if..." This is a confirmation that one of the strongest emotions in me is "fearful of rejections of man". Thank you Jennifer for this emotion-invoking exercise. It helps me understand how I should pray for myself. God bless you! This is such a stimulating question. “What emotion in you is the strongest?” The first word that occurred to me was “restless”.

I was just wondering what you're up to, and I found this great new site. I love it! You've given me some amazing "words to think about" over the past several years; specifically, you've encouraged me to keep writing. :) I hope to bump into you in real life soon. We're not too far apart. Hey Jennifer!

I was looking for Matthew Paul Turner's birthday. Still not sure why that landed me here. But oh well, good post! I admit that I looked up a list of emotions. Not that I didn't know the answer, but that I wasn't sure I was picking the right words to describe it. On the positive side, it's contentment. I have very little want for anything, really. I don't keep up with the Joneses. I don't worry when something breaks or goes wrong. It's all good. On the negative side, I think I nonetheless grapple with apprehension more often than I need to. I'm nearly constantly nervous that I'm gonna get caught, even (and especially?) when I'm not even doing anything wrong. Like when I'm doing the speed limit, maintaining proper distance, and constantly checking my mirrors and a cop pulls up next to me. I hate that. So I guess I'm content and nervous. Now that I've articulated it, I can see that's a volatile and unhealthy mix, because the obvious implication is that I'm content BEING nervous. And that's probably true. ...Ok, must go back to the character drawing board and re-work myself. Not sure how I landed on this blog. …Oh, yeah. I was looking for Matthew Paul Turner’s birthday.

I also enjoyed conversations with our team members as well as new people, and watching people's responses via twitter very much. I have nothing to compare it to since I wasn't there last year, but certainly glad I went. I love your synopsis of the event here.
