Always Winter But Never Christmas

Ok its fine in December but I'm starting to get sick of this. This whole winter wonderland thing...

A really good book to read---> Serve God, Save The Planet by Matthew Sleeth

Amazing book i think. One of those books that will change the way you look at things. Sort of like Shane Claiborne's Irresistible Revolution. Claiborne and Sleeth found me in a place where I worried if there wasn't more to this christian faith and they reassured me that there was. They encourage Christians that see problems in our culture and give us a push to do something about it. Just some really, really good guys with something to say.

I promise my next post will be longer and not about books but for right now I'm telling you go to your library and READ THESE BOOKS. But beware they'll make you want to sell all of your possessions and live every second of your life for God.

I'll Fly Away

In search for something to write, someone (being Keith) said to me, if I'm going to be writing about myself I should include my testimony. That's a good point.

My testimony isn't how hard it was for me to find Jesus or how I drifted away and God brought me back. If anything it's how God has kept me close. I don't know how to explain it, but I've always felt protected. It's not so much what has happened to me but what hasn't. It's amazing, because I know other people go through things like I have and alot of them don't come out in one piece. But I'm still here and I'm able to tell you how much I love God. And I find that to be a miracle.

I'm not going to sit here and tell you my life story, but I will tell you how grateful I am for God giving me a mother who has taken me to church from the beginning and surrounding me throughout my life with good people.

I'm not saying that I've never hit rocky times with my relationship with Christ. And I'm not saying that I've had a perfect life. There have been times when I felt like my life couldn't get any worse, it would. But the thing is I made it through all that and I'm here now.

I just know I'm blessed. Do you?

"My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and savior - from violent men you save me." - 2 Samuel 22:3

This Is Me

This would be me.

Just thought i'd open with some pictures to help you get to know me better...

In a sentence:

I'm a really impatient christian girl with a sleep deficit that would mess with any persons head, who has alot of spare time and spends it mainly on the internet, listening to music, reading, or writing .

You would most likely find me in the middle of a some random aisle at Barnes & Noble drinking a steamer and pouring over some book. Depending on the day I could look like a child, a college student, or maybe, just maybe, my age. My makeup could be heavy and smudged or I might have clean face. I might even look a little drugged up but that's just genes. I say alot of things without thinking and sometimes think a little too much without saying anything. Jesus is my everything and when I forget that I fall. I get heated in an argument and often lose. I'm wrong alot. So don't don't believe everything I say. I can take a joke...depending on how much sleep I had the night before...That being said, I will think things through before I write them in this blog. Or at least try.

So...

My name is Jessica.

I like books and people.

Boring right?

Only on sundays.

A note about the title of this blog: Look up William Carlos Williams.
