You may not believe it, but I am going to update!!!!

Sorry all, but I have been so busy! Here are a few changes to my life in the near future and those that have already occurred.

1) Will be getting married on November 25, 2006 to Justin Walters!

2) I am working for M&I Bank (Leawood) as a personal banker, poor old Gold Bank got bought out, I didn't move to another bank again!  It is crazy busy and I feel like I work in a completely different world, cause I am in Leawood now!!! But I love it, every day is packed with fun!

3) Will no longer be involved in leadership with Paradigm Student Ministries after my girls graduate. It is sad, I am really moving on! But I know that God is shacking the ground beneath my feet for a reason.  There are big things for me ahead, I can't wait to see all that He has in store.

Ummmm, I think that is it.

I am learning a lot though, God is teaching me so much about the characteristics of being a Godly wife.  He has done so much in our relationship as a couple and truly making us a team! We have some great accountability and support from our family and friends it is such a blessing! I can't wait to see what is to come. I love Justin so much he is truly an answer to my prayers and a blessing. He is encouraging and always strives to make me a better person, he holds me to a higher standard and I desire to be a better person because of him. Thank you Jesus! 

Well, I will know by your comments if anyone bothers to stop by my site anymore, I will try to post more often!  I love you all, let me know what is going on in your lives, I would love to know!

Blessings

Sorry it has been a while xangans...

Ok, well since all you xanga people are friends and word spreads fast I guess I should update those out of the loop so they understand your comments. So here it goes...

I, Jacklynn Voke, am ENGAGED!!!

I know you want to know all about him, and how and all so here it goes.

His name is Justin Walters and he is 25. I met him about 2 years ago through ...an ex-bf. At that time I was preoccupied and he would not dare gonna look at a friends girl, he isn't like that even when he knew he could treat me better. No offense, but the ex and I were just not meant to be. So anyway, I never really looked at him that way because he was just a good friend and kinda like a brother. But then my mom, sisters, friends... you name it I heard "Well what about Justin?" I was like no way, I don't see it working. Well I finally agreed to 1 date and at that time in my life I was simply not ready God had to do some work on me. So needless to say that date did not go over very well. A few months went by and in November I decided to go on a fast 2 days into the fast Justin calls me to straighten things out between us because we were ignoring each other and all, it was just awkward! So we talked things through and then had some small talk and by the time I got off the phone I was saying to myself, "He is amazing, Jacklynn you better wake up!!!!" So that night I just prayed that God would let me see Justin as He did and that if anything was suppose to happen He needed to intervene! So my fast went on for 20 days and by the end I was convinced that Justin was the man for me if he would consider me again after the way I had treated him. So I was bold and just told him I wanted to talk to him and that night I told him how I felt about him and that I could really see this going somewhere. And boy did it... So we started dating the week after Thanksgiving. We knew from the start where it was going.

So last Friday night he gathered close friends and family at my house for a Christmas get together, little did I know what was truly going to happen that night. We all settled to the family room and he had told me earlier that he wanted me to hear a song he had figured out how to play for me. So we all sat down and gradually I caught on, a video camera was brought out, a camera, he sat a chair down right in front of me, everyone was kinda quiet and was just having small talk...very weird, and then it hit me. So there we all are and he starts playing my favorite worship song "You Said", by Shane & Shane. Then he plays 2 country LOVE songs, the whole time I am thinking, oh my goodness, this is it! Then he reaches in his bag and pulls out a box and comes over and gets down on one knee and asks the question I have longed to hear all my life..."Will you marry me?" and I say "Yes" then he says "Are you sure?" and I say, "Yes, I'm sure!!!" It was so beautiful, the whole room was crying. So there you are.

If you want anymore info I would be glad to tell you more about us, him, the wedding, whatever... but I am done typing. Call me, come see me, whatever I love to talk about it so yeah.

I love you all and I have to say Dreams really do come true, so never lose hope and hold tight to the desires that God plants in your heart!!!

Blessings
