Slacking is an understatement… I’m missing seven posts!!! This will only be 4 out of 19, but today is my third anniversary as a blogger so it’s the perfect day to get back on track. I’ve only hit my goal of going to the gym 4 times a week 3 out of 10 weeks so … Continue reading God’s Will and My Choices: A Relationship
Tonight, I came home from spending the weekend celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday in our college town to my mom and brother filling out scholarship applications. My brother is a senior in high school this year, and he’s signed to play baseball next year at a university that also just so happens to be THE school … Continue reading “I write so that others might be inspired.”
You guys. I’m finally student teaching and I’m not even exhausted (yet)! Okay, so it’s only day two and my co-teacher and I are REALLY hoping for the first snow day of the semester tomorrow (prayers please). But still. I have a desk and a key to the classroom and a badge and access to … Continue reading To My Teachers
When I was in high school, I compared my first real relationship to a glass box in one of my early journals. I thought everything was so clear and perfect, or so it seemed, and I knew with one wrong move it could shatter. It did – over and over. But that’s what glass does. … Continue reading Broken Glass
Because this is the end of my challenge, I don’t know where to start but I know exactly where this post is going (for once). Life coming full circle is so beautiful. I guess I can start five years ago, about this time of year, walking into Lee’s Summit North High School to meet with … Continue reading K-Love’s 30 Day Challenge: Day 30
Day 29. This is it. I’ve been struggling to keep the fire of my faith illuminated, but tonight the fire is burning bright once again. I saw God’s Not Dead with a few girls from my Bible study, and it was exactly what I needed to finish this challenge strong. And I would definitely recommend … Continue reading K-Love’s 30 Day Challenge: Day 29
A month ago tomorrow, I wrote myself a love letter. I needed it. I lost who I was and I was out of places to run and vices to choose. That was before I decided to do K-Love’s 30 Day Challenge, but nonetheless, it was the first step. Tomorrow, April 1, I will open that … Continue reading K-Love’s 30 Day Challenge: Days 26, 27 & 28
It’s sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew. It’s been three days since I last wrote… Not much has happened. I’ve been pretty busy working at Hickory Pit, actually. I have just enough time to type out this post before I head back there for the day. The biggest God moment since the … Continue reading K-Love’s 30 Day Challenge: Days 23, 24 & 25
It’s officially a habit to write every two days. And I’m so sad – this challenge is almost over – what will I blog about then? Yesterday I was back at it at Summit Hickory Pit BBQ, and as I did the esteemed duty of watching the front of the restaurant as the fearless cashier … Continue reading K-Love’s 30 Day Challenge: Days 21 & 22
Day 20. Just 10 days left. It’s different being at home doing this challenge. Temptations are definitely less tempting (almost nonexistent), but the people here don’t know this side of me like many of my college friends do. “Jessica, I didn’t know you were religious.” Well, honestly, until this challenge, I didn’t know I was … Continue reading K-Love’s 30 Day Challenge: Day 20
