  • I think Valentines day hit me like 4 months late!!! I wanted to redo my colors, having enjoyed john deere for a little tooo long;) and it all came out pink and flowery! Sorry to all my guy friends that actually visit my site:) But I am enjoying it for now! Probably will drive me crazy in two weeks, but you all enjoy it for now!


    THe FLy In  will officially be over by noon on Monday! YAH!!!!! It's been a LONG week:) Good but long!


    I have actually had some of the best devotions the last two weeks...my busiest of course, that I have had in a while! Praise God, He loves me even when I am crazy!


    So, I am signing off, your mucho tired friend


    Jess


    Romans 8:28


    And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God and are called according to his purpose.


    Romans 12:12


    Rejiocing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing instant in prayer


    Romans 13:11


    And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep. For now is our salvation nearer than we believed.


    Romans 14:7-8


    For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.


    For whether we live, we live unto the Lorf and wherher we die, we die unto the Lord, Whether we live therefore or die, we are the Lords!


    Romans 15:4


    For whatsoever things were written got our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope!!!!


    Ecclesiastes 3:11a


    He hath made everything beautiful in His time...



    P.S...I have a new dog!!!! Will post pictures soon!!!!!

  • Long hair is sooooo cool! I know I still have a llllooooonnnggg wayyyyy to go , but the feeling of it on my shoulders is sooo nifty! I have never really had it much longer than past my shoulders, and so this is basically the longest it's ever been!


    Just thought I would clue all you people into that;)


    Working this FlyIn has been a neat experience, even though I wasn't really looking forward to it, but it has also shown me some things. I am working with a lot of young people, mainly mid to older teens, and they have noone to look up to!


    These guys and girls that came before them are off in their own little worlds with little to no care about this new generation and there they are trying to come up with all th answers on their own. I know it's the parents who should be showing them the way, but with alot of these families being first timers, they need to first generation to look up to, and they aren't there! Florida has very little in the area of older, mature young adults who are truly focused on the Lord. I am sure they are here somewhere, but I have yet to find them;)


    Please be praying for me as I try to continue to lean on the Lord for guidance on how to be a better example. I have a burden for these yound people and I am not sure how to help them! Also please pray for the Lord to bring people into their lives to help guide them! There has to be people out there to come along side these kids and let them know that it does work! This life of the Lords if hard to live sometimes, but I want to take your hand and help pull you thru it!


    Thanks for letting me vent:)


    Heres a few pictures from my week!


    Blessings,


    Jess

  • Solitude...???

    I was working all day today, and in the middle of the insanity, I was thinking...Yes , I do do that sometimes;)


    Since getting home, I have been in absolute insanity! I haven't stopped....Literally....I am not asking for sympathy!!!;) But, it was getting home, within two days, turning around and doing the conferance for 4 long days:) ( that were blessed, don't get me wrong!) and then within two days again, starting this crazy week of working!!! Today was the first day  and it really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be!!


    But, the reason I am writing is because it got me to thinking!:)


    I miss Arlington!!!:):):)


    I love cemetaries! I have never understood why, but I always find them intriguing and they always give me a sense of wonder! Arlington added that much more beauty and overwhelming sense of dedication and service and love of country!!! I could easily walk through there for two days and not run out of things to look at, to take pictures of and to just enjoy looking at names and imagining their life stories!


    It just reminds me to SLOW DOWN!!! To enjoy the time here on earth and not to spend it in a rat race called life! Next week should be bringing a slightly slower week ( Ya right!!!! ) and I am looking forward to just being home and with my munchkins! Doing Laundry! and organizing things:) ( yes I do enjoy it! When I don't have to do it!!!;););))


    So, I have decided that Dad and I are going back to Washington and going to Arlington for a WHOLE DAY!!!!!!:):):):)


    Pray for me and Rachel as we continue on this week!!!!:) Cya later!!!!


    Missing you all!!!


    Love those comments!


    And all those newsy messages letting me know you miss me!!!!

    Hope you all are well and happy and blessed!!!

  • Well, howdy!!! Long time no hear;) But I guess you all are used to that!


    This last week went really well, with no major incidences and overall just a good week! There was alot of things that made it intersting though, in just the realm of plain life! I am really tired though, so I think I am getting old!


    The kids I was with were amazing in all that they were working towards, in sports, photography and numerous other things! They ended up taking home half the awards up on stage! It was neat to know I was apart of that in a little way!


    I also have had oodles of time with one of the sweetest little guys on the planet this week,, His name is Thomas and hes only a few months old! He is sooooo cute! So I've been happy;););)


    This next week is going to be really hard, and it's not my favorite function to work at, so it should be even longer;) It's called a fly in, and they have oodles of planes and pilot type of stuff out there. That in itself is great, but it just long and genereally hot and very tiring, and I am already worn out! But at least this time I have a cool camera to get pics of the stuff;) Last time I was just walking around dreaming of the camera I now have:) God's so great isn't He? AWwwwwww...Gotta love Him!


    So, anyway, from Tuesday morning all the way to the next Monday, that's what I'll be doing!


    Please pray my life slows down a little bit! I love going and doing things but I am really ready for a little bit of a break! I want the time to clean my room! and Organize things that are driving me crazy!:) And the spend oodles of time with my babies!!!!!:):):):)


    MY MOTHER CUT MY BROTHERS HAIR WHEN I WASN"T LOOKING!!!!!! he's still adorable, but I loved his hair!!!!:) And at almost 2, its the only time he can have it that long and get away with it;)


    grrr;)


    Alrighty, I gotta run, but know I am thinking of all of you!


    I was hoping to put some more pictures on here, but I just can't seem to find the time to download them on here! It takes forever!


    :) :):):):):)
