New beginnings?

Now that I am no longer traveling in Europe, I thought it was time to let that blog rest a little while and begin posting in this one again. I cannot promise that I will post super often, but hopefully by reading this blog you'll get a snapshot of where the Lord is leading me at various stages of my life.

If you've read anything of my other blog, you know that I just finished my DTS (Discipleship Training School) with YWAM. I spent almost 6 months in Amsterdam, Israel, and Ukraine. It was an amazing experience that changed my life. I am not the same person I was before, so I hope you see the tenor of my future posts to be very different. =)

I hope that if you follow me in this blog you will see Jesus in me. I do not by any means claim to have everything figured out but my one desire and only aim is "that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple." (Psalms 27:4) I have been marked by the presence of the Lord and I want to reflect his glory on my face like Moses did. (Exodus 34:29) I hope that you are able to see that in me, and that Jesus in me makes you hungry for more of Jesus. =)

Well that's all for now. Thanks for reading. =) Be blessed!

-Jessie

Bucket List

I am currently sitting at Caribou Coffee trying to study for my final exams. There are two girls sitting beside me on skype with one of their friends. They are speaking Spanish to each other. Very fluent Spanish I might add. Both girls are obviously Caucasian in ethnicity. I know I'm supposed to be studying but it got me to thinking about my life and how much I want to learn Spanish. This got me thinking about things that I want to do in my lifetime. I so often think of things that I want to do with my life but then later I forget them, so that is why I have decided to write a bucket list of sorts. Not because I think I'm going to die soon or anything, but just because. We all die someday. The thing that really excites me about this is that I will most likely not even do half of the things I put on my list. As I grow and change my desires will change and maybe I'll add new things to the list and cross off old things that I don't want to do anymore. I know God will lead ...

Nothing worth doing is ever going to be easy. If you really want something you have to suck it up, put your nose to the grind, and just do it. Yeah, I know that was an overuse of cliches right there. :) This is something I am learning in more than one aspect of my life right now. I can't say it's the most fun lesson I have ever had to learn. :( In my relationship with the Lord, if I want further intimacy I have to push in deeper. Intimacy with the Lord doesn't just happen overnight. It's like in any relationship. Closeness takes time. The people you know the best are generally the ones you spend the most time with. It's the same with the Lord. I am also learning this with school. I really want to be a nurse. I knew going into it that nursing school was going to be difficult, but being told that doesn't exactly prepare you for when it happens. I have been sick the past few days and really not into the whole studying thing. It's hard to concentrate on so...

I did a photo shoot with my sister and one of her friends today. I don't claim to be a photographer by any means, but I wanted to practice so I can at least be decent. Here's a few of what I took. My sister is so photogenic so it made taking pictures of her much easier. =) Yay. =)
