A rainy night
Tonight it rained here at OBU and me being me weird self decided hey this is a perfect time for a walk. So I went for this walk and when I started this walk it only was drizzling but it began to pick up to where it was coming down really hard and I was alone no umbrella not rain coat no nothing to protect me form the storm. There was lightening and thunder, with lightening the one thing that you can predict about it is that is you can predict it you never know when or what its going to hit next. At first I was walking really fast wanting to get of the cold rain and find shelter inside somewhere but I knew if I did it would be that much longer until I made it where I needed to be. So I kept going until I made it to where I needed to be where I became warm and dry, the whole time knowing that I would have to return to the rain again.
So I started to write this as soon as I got back form my little journey at the same time watching a video called rain thought that was kinda ironic. But here is the thing I needed to take that walk for many reasons. I need to realize that I am not going through this alone He is here with me. He wants to hold me tight and comfort me so that I may grow more intimate in my walk with Him. Yes there will be rain and lightening and thunderous events that take place that try to pull me away from God. But I am gently reminded that He is my Dad and wants to be there for me, to carry me through my storms, to be there so I may cry to Him. Crying has become a past time the past few weeks I feel like that is all I have done, then God shows me that he shaping me and making me who He wants me to become. This is my light is seeing what God wants me to do, and a better way to love on people. Sometime in the midst of all this hurt I want to run and hide somewhere out of the storm or hurry through it but I know I cant cuz these are things I must go through so that I can become more like my Jesus, my Best Friend, my Savior.

In Awe by a Football Game???
Tonight I watched the Texas Tech and OU game. Sadly one of the OU players (number 1 don’t know his name) got hurt so badly they had to take him off the field in a stretcher. In the midst of all this players started to get on their knees and pray for the fallen player. What really shocked me the most is many of the Texas Tech and OU players circled near the hurt player and took a knee and started to pray for him. I was amazed to say the least here I am watching a football game with my family and just seconds ago I was arguing with my uncle who was cheering for Texas that he needed to hush then I was almost crying. Not just for the fear a player but for the fact that all these players were showing love for each other despite which team they were on, so much so they were bowing and praying for his safety.
In a split second our lives can be changed from doing what we always knew we were going to do, to not knowing how we are going to make it through the next moment. I am becoming very familiar with this feeling and the only thing that keeps me going is knowing God has His own plan for my life and when I surrender to Him even when things don’t work out they way I think they should. In the end though it always turns out for the better when I trust in God and allow Him to guide me, even when it is down a path that I don’t understand. I am a person that likes to see the overall picture I want to know what is going to happen next but that is rarely the case. There are things that I always thought would turn out a certain way now that they are not I am excited and scared at the same time by all the new changes that have come my way. Doing things I never though I could, doors opening that I never thought would, new friends, new adventure, the truly amazing friends that God has given me these people either know all there is to know or are getting there yet for some strange reason they stick around and I love them so much for it. So many great things going on mixed with alot of things that can keep me up at night if I let them. There is such a mixture of things that I would go crazy if it was not for God. Allowing Him to guide me and move me where He wants me to go as scary as it is, I can not wait to see what is going to happen because no matter what I know it will be ok and work for the better.
Jeremiah 10:23 I know, Lord, that our lives are not our own. We are not able to plan our own course.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

At Peace. . . getting there
Yeah I have been trying to write something on this thing for about a week and nothing has come. The truth is I have been so stressed that I haven’t had the time. Now I am in this weird place that I have found peace that Christ has promised me that I had just never taken. Over the past few weeks God has brought a person into my life that I am so thankful for. She is an amazing women of God. Its amazing how God works through people.
Psalm 4:8
In peace I will lie down and sleep,
for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe.
Safe securing valuable objects against theft or damage; trustworthy, reliable; free from harm and risk; unhurt.
These are all things provided in Christ but we must trust Him and make Him the true Lord of our lives and these things will happen. I know it is much easier said then done, remember I am having to live it too.
Love always,
Jessika

We, Us, Ours
Those words are really small when you compare them to other words, they don’t have a long dictionary meaning, and so easily they can be missed. but the past few weeks I have felt the power that these words can be given. Over this pass week I was given some bad news and when I told one of my friends they reply was not to worry we would cross that bridge when we got there. It brought me comfort to know hey I am not going through this alone. Another time this is our group you are seen as something bigger then just me, I have ownership in something that is going to make a difference for the world by the power of God.
God has really blessed me over the past few days with this idea and brought someone that has been in my life for awhile to a place of deeper friendship. For that I am so extremely thankful.
Love ya
Jessika

I love being loved
This is going to be short. But last night I was at this church that my friend was speaking at He talked about loving and being loved. When I say that I love being loved, one of the ways that I feel most loved is when I can love on people. I feel so close to God and I feel so extremely loved cuz I know I am doing what He created me to do.
My prayer is that God would continue to give me the desire to love people they way that He loves them. That we as Christians seek to love each other as brothers and sisters and love others so that may see the love of Christ.
Love you
Jessika
