About Me

I am the mother of two beautiful girls, Chloe 7 and Olivia6. I also have a 12 year old step-daughter Donna aho I am blessed to have in my life. My husband John and I have been married for the past 8 years. It's been a long hard road but because of Gods' awesome mercy we are together today. Our family just recently moved from Indiana to Georgia. It has been quite an experience packing up and moving away from everything we know.There is a time to carry our burdens alone, a time to share a prayer with a friend and a time to cast it all upon Jesus. I pray this will be a place to share in our burdens, we don't always have to carry it alone. This is my journey in what God is teaching me daily. I also pray it will be a place for you to join in to share our burdens but not only our burdens but the joy of Christ.

purpose

I was so excited after leaving church on Wed. night, a verse that was given spoke right to me. It's like God said,"Ok Jess here u go." I have continued to play games in my mind questioning Him about why we had to move. I know it is His will, but being the human I am I continue to question. In Acts 17:26-27 it says,"From one man he made every nation of men,that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us." That blew me away! God chose when I would be alive and where I would live, I have a purpose in His plans for this world right now where I stand(or Blog rather). He chose me to live in Indiana for 29 years of my life, and He chose for me to pack up and leave it all behind because in Him there is purpose. God is in control of all creation yet He is next to me. Why am I not constantly on my knees seeking His direction? Its like I get so used to Him and who I think He is that I lose sight of why Hes there. As hard as this journey of life is and all the unhappy things that happen there is purpose and there is meaning He constantly has something to teach me. So here I am and He is next to me, am I reaching out to Him? Am I making the most of being here?

Those verses also blew me away... I got chills (in an awestruck way!). How awesome God really is. WHen you get to what seems like your lowest lows, the Lord will bring you something to keep you going. And if we continue to look to Him for those things, He will be faithful, and bring them more and more!

I know it is hard to understand a move like you have made, but you made it! And you listened to God! Which is half the battle! Sometimes we don't get that far... We keep putting it off, or we just shoo it off because we don't want to deal with EVERYTHING!

I pray that the Lord will continue to open doors to your new life, and make things visable. Make things more bearable. Make things great!

I hope to get to see you guys while you are back in Indiana!!! Thanks for the card... I have one for your guys, but I will probably give it to your mom. Glad to see you are back posting!!!
