Hey Ya'll! Wow! It's amazing how your life can change in a matter of minutes!
( I did this picture with overlaying two different ones...I like how it has the baby staring at his "future" and then seeing the older couple walking along...I was just having fun with it.....No biggie:) )
I just found out I have the priveledge of going with some freinds to Virginia for a few weeks! They needed a babysitter and just someone to help with little guys and so I am going:) They have the sweetest baby ever..It shouldn't be tooo much of a heart ache:) But I can't believe how things change! As of yesterday, I was going no where else for a while, and now I am leaving on the 8th and won't be home till the 19th or so...weird huh?
I am sorry Laura,,,,, you can shoot me later:) I could pack you in my suitcase...Think they'd miss you at work?;)
I am planning on taking my camera though, so expect a million pictures later:)
Be praying for me! I have a BUSY few weeks coming at me!
I think for me, one of the things I have to be grateful for, is God knows I have issues sometimes, and yet here He is, keeping me soooo busy I have very little time to whine about it all! I just pray I am a blessing to those I will be with and not let my cranky side come out TOOOO much:) Be praying for me!
Muchos love peeps...
Jess...
BTW, feeling lack of love again......no comments make for a sad previous blonde;)

Willing to wait, and willing to die trying!
You know, on these late nights when I just can't seem to sleep, there always comes to mind those things on which I would like to think about during the day, but I can never fit in! Tonight is by no means an exception! As I was laying there, the Lord and I started a conversation. Ok, in reality, I started the conversation and began pestering HIm with lots of my unanswered questions!
What is my future? Where do you want me? What am I to accomplish?
I of course went down the list from there and ended up whining for a while
It all boiled down to me wanting things, and the Lord saying, WAIT. Ok, that's cool, I can wait...but what am I waiting for? What's really the point of waiting for the unknown?
I have a fulfilled life, a wonderful and loving family, friends that stand by me no matter how weird I get,and an overall, amazing and wonderful God that supplies for my EVERY need. What more can a girl ask for? But yet I find things! In the long run, I don't mind waiting for them! I have learned that life doesn't always come to you when you want it, and thereby I have learned to simply, WAIT:) I have also learned it's a joy to wait on the Lord and watch as He one by one fulfills your every need, and alot of the time, your every want. What a sweet thing to behold! What a mighty God we serve!
I always was aggravated with guys, when I had the inside scoop that they liked someone, but wouldn't say a word till they had all their ducks in a row! WHY? If she's the right one, wouldn't she like to be apart of building you up? Of dreaming beside you? Of praying for you and helping you to become what you are striving for?
And yet, I also find that the Lord is the same way! Men are soooooo aggravating:) They have this thing called logic, that I was never very fond of, being a hopeless romantic.... In their eyes, the joy of being able to present their gift of a home, or a job and a steady income, or a secure future is more valuable to them than simply saying I love you and wanna be with you. The overall scene of being able to say I worked for you and now I would like to claim you as mine is a stronger thing to alot of guys. They want it in their hands when they finally have it to give.
In the same way, our Lord has designed our lives to be a surprise! He has made it so there is no way of finding out what comes next! The Lord is also a hopeless romantic and He loves to surprise His bride! He has worked sooo hard for us! To be able to bring us home to be with Him forever! He was willing to give of Himself in the form of His son just to be with us forever! What kind of love is that? DO you comprehend the power of that?
Just as the girl who will soon be surprised should not be caught being unawares, so should we be ready for the Lord when He is ready for us! The joy of being able to look at your masters face and state, Lord I want you and have been striving to build up your name! I have waited for you and can't wait to sing praises to Your Holy name! I have worked here on earth to broaden your kingdom, and now Lord I am ready to go there with you!
I have looked at my parents and said I am ready to move on. To start life in a new realm. To begin another family for the Lords glory when He's ready for me to! I want His will in my life!
But, can I look at Him and say Lord I am ready to come home? I have done all for Your name?
I am willing to wait here and strengthen your kindom. And Lord, I am willing to die trying!
If we are willing to die for our country to keep her free, shouldn't we be willing to give all to our creator?
Just some food for thought from the late night philosopher.
Yours always,
Jess

Can you guess what I am going to try to do this week????
Ok, so several things are going on:)
First of all..
WELCOME HOME ADRIAN!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe you are done already! But I am glad you are home!!!!
Second of All, I will be off of IM for a while...The Lord has been calling me to work on a newsletter encouraging families and I want all my efforts to go to that for a while! I will still be on here and checking my email and all that, so please continue to write me!
I will need LOTS of prayers!!! We are going to start designing it this week and I have several articles I want written to put it in, so it will be cool:) If you want an email when it's ready, leave me a message and I will put you on the list:):):):):) I can't wait !!! I am really excited about it!!!!! It will all be online for now, so I will pass along the web address when I get it;)
I am also sooooo excited to have been given the oppertunity to help assist a dear friend of mine who is a professional photographer do a wedding the first weekend of June!!! I have been hoping for a chance to learn from her and she has given it!!! YAH!!!!! Be praying for me June 2-3 cause I will be doing a lot of driving, going to down to Miami and back up the next day:) But, I can't wait!!!
All the things she can teach me are just amazing! She is an awesome friend God blessed me with meeting on my missions trip to Romania a few years back ! It proves that first impressions aren't lasting
I love you Reba!:) Just because!
And lastly, Over the next week Mom and I will be trying to get alot of scrapbooking done! So while I am writing I am also going through pictures to figure out which ones we will use! Good grief there are alot of them! Luckily we have most of the other stuff needed already:) JoAnns sales are awesome when they clearance;)
So, overall, It's insane, but good and busy but fulfilling:) Coolness;)
*AND* to top it all off, My grandparents needed a driver to take them to my *favorite* restaruant in Lakeland! It's on an airfield and it has windows all over so you can watch the planes coming in and out! There's a balcony you can walk out on and watch everyone! It's so nice! Its just a neat place called Tonys:)
So, yeah:) I am good;)
Your crazy, insane, silly friend,
Jess
P.S....Just for laughs...try singing along to the carpenters while everyone else is trying to listen...It's fun....imagine looks of pain, agony and distress and you probably have it about right
CYa!

Hey Ya'll....Well, guess what???
I ACTUALLY BOOKED DAD'S AND MY FLIGHTS TONIGHT!!!
Dad and I will be going on a trip, just the two of us!
We have been wanting to go on a trip again...we haven't done that in a LONG time,
and after getting home, there was just ALOT we missed seeing in DC.
I can't wait to go to Arlington again! Dad and I already agreed whole heartedly there
would be an entire day spent there....Even if he doesn't wanna stay the whole time!
I love that place!:)
So, please be praying for me as I continue to make plans and pull this all together!
There are loads of things I am a little nervous about, like rental cars, and hotel rooms,
but God has already shown Himself strong so I know He will take care of all of it,
as long as I will let Him ! AhhhHHHHHH.
I am so excited and just hoping it allllllll works out!
Cya later!
