I'm pretty dedicated to helping heal the hurting world. Starting with the Youth/Teens. Most peole are hurting because of lies they have believed since they were young. It all needs to be rebuked and destroyed. God loves you! He accepts you! He Likes you. Just the way you are. I don't know how many people I talk/type at that feel like everyone hates them because of a few negative people in their lives. You need to RISE above that. Take Gods' hand and let him show you how much you are Loved. Kids I wasn't dealt a great hand either. I was sexually molested for years by my adoptive Father. That's not the real view of what a father should be. Father God is Holy. He loves you, He made you.. He hasn't left your side. All you have to do is turn to meet him and He's right there. I can help you see Gods' love. I know how infinite His love is. God is NOT prejudice. He loves you no matter what color, race, religion, sexual orientation, political views, or any other thing that would make you think God doesn't love you. God doesn't hold the junk of your past against you. He wouldn't know how to, He's that forgiving! We need to learn to be a "City On Our Knees" for each other-praying being there for each other, being the shoulder that ANYONE can lean on(not just your close friends). We need to learn to be there for each other. We have to start showing Jesus, The Real Jesus. Jesus was caring, loving, and non-judgmental. He knew Gods' heart because He studied his Father growing up. We should be doing the same thing. Study Jesus, Would he have told someone who is a different sexual preference that they're going to Hell? NO. he wouldn't Check yourself Christians! Check yourselves before You wreck yourselves. Watch what God your showing people, because if you're doing that, You ARE NOT showing My God to people. So your question is, Does God love me, even though im....?
Yes... He Does.
You can't expect God to help you when you have rejected Him Your whole life. But you do have to ask for His Help, He did after all gave us free will, He's not going to force Himself on you. Bu when you do finally turn and say "God I need you." He will show up, He will be there.
Because one day we will ALL bow before God The Father.

Walking in Love
Lately I've been learning more and more about Gods' love for us and showing others how much God loves them. But the thing is .. as Christians we're supposed to Walk in love..
back in 1992 Dc Talk came out with a song called Luv is a Verb. The dictionary defines love and a Noun. From elementray school we should all remember that a noun means it's a person, place, or thing. right? That's not how God sees the word love. And neither should Chrisitans. (or people in general)
There are so many christians that walk around giving hatred a name. Telling people that they are going to hell for something that they don't feel is right. Or turning their back on a friend for a little stupid reason. So we realize what we're doing to these people? Do we realize that as "ambassadors of Christ" we're showing them that's what Jesus would do?
Jesus would NEVER EVER tell someone who has chosen the life of being gay,, that they're going to Hell.. If you don't believe me.. Read the Bible! IF you come up with a verse that says and Jesus condemned them to hell becuase of their sin... You show me.
Walking in Love means soo much more than saying "I love you." Words are absolutely meaningliess without action. Jesus did the ultimate "action" of love by taking all our sin upon himself and dieing in place of us.. going to hell in place of us and in turn closing the door on death (Hell) itself.
We have a hard time walking in love because of our judgmental spirits. We want to show up others and make our selves feel better when we see someone else doing wrong. We want hurt them before they can hurt us. This is human nature(the flesh). We some times can't help ourselves but look at someone and automatically think they're bad or horrible.
Walking in Love takes, Courage, Courage to see someone the way God created them. Remember that God created everyone so if he Created everyone and He loves them and accepts them just the way they are, shouldn't we?
We want to "fix" everyone that we see. We see something wrong with them and want to change it. That's not the way Jesus taught us to love people. Jesus was never negative and He never nit picked. If he did it's not in the Bible If it's not in the Bible, we shouldn't make it up either.
Showing people Love isn't easy, especially if you don't get that Love is bigger than we are. It existed before any of us did and it will exist long after we're gone.
I have learned that loving others means accepting them just the way they are. Doing any less than that would be holding yourself higher than that person. Think about it you look at someone and say to yourself that person is not christian, or that person is not a good person..
Number one you're judging them before you even get to know them.
Number two you're looking at yourself and saying i would not be like that person..i'm better..
Sounds absolutely ridiculous.. but I do it too. You see someones problem and think.. HA I don't have that problem!
Heres' the deal ... You have other problems! Walking in love is about realizing that. Realizing that we all to through things and can learn from them. Someone may be on the road to "destruction" in your mind when in Gods mind He wants them to learn something to become stronger to see things from a different perspective than we do so they can help others.
Being there for each other= Walking in love. No matter who they are, where they're from, what they do, Be there!
Lifting each other up= Walking in Love. Yes... that person that you do not like who tells you they dream of being a super star...Encourage them... IF they're truly good enough (which brings me to the next point...)
Telling each other the tough truth= Walking in Love. Dreaming of a supersat and not having the talent to do it... You need to tell them that. but tell it to them with love in your voice.
Not being condesending= Walking in love. You tell someone they're not superstar material, in a way they understand why you're saying it. You don't want people to be set up to fail or fall.
Understanding each other= Walking in Love. Realizing that people come from different places then we do. They have different ideas about things because they had a different life and learned different things we did.
Tough love is probably the hardest love to give. We can't exactly give tough love to people we don't know. Tough love should be given to family members (that you know well) and friends. Don't walk up to someone you do not know, call them out on something (that you're not sure about) and call it tough love.
When you grow up in a Christian home, you have everything you could ask for, you have love in your home, you weren't abused, you got great grades and you're at a job that you like. You're not a partier and you pretty much found the right person for yourself. You see someone that is totally opposite where you are and automatically think awful of them.
Maybe they didn't have it as easy as you! You have had positive your whole life! you just bragged to them how well you had it. Walking in love would've been you realizing that they may not have had the life that you had. Maybe you could learn something from them.
We were all made differently, all made to see things in dfferent ways to learn from each other and to grow. We should want each other to be our best. The best we we can be! I'm not perfect I still have issues with walking in love but I want to be able to try and love everyone and see them for the person that God created them as.
Walking in love is about bringing out the best in people, not pushing past mistakes and screw ups into peoples faces. Moving on and letting go. That's what true love is all about..

"Love is patien Love is Kind, no words of envy true love is blind. Love is God that sent His son, Love forgives all we have done. Love knows when to let go. Love knows when to say no. Love goes in the light of the son and love shows the world that the Son of love has come."

I would rather be in God's will with nothing, than out of it with everything.
Hot Jesus loving husband.
2.5 kids ( .5 being a dog)
Cute little starter home
2 cars in the drive way
Great job that I loved
Living in Florida
Out of God’s will.
That is just a little bit of what I thought my life would be like when I was 25. And now here I am 25 turning 26 next month and my life couldn't’t be further away from that list. I always wondered what people meant when they said God will give you the desires of you heart. Seeing as though, I really truly desire those things, but yet I have none of them. It took me a while to realize that God really does give you the desires of your heart, because when you think about it, your one main desire should be to be in HIS will. So if we are living in his will all that comes with it should be our desires (make sense?) I have learned that I need to be content in all situations that God places before me. Even if I’m not in the most comfortable situations. Lately my life has been like a roller coaster, and not the fun kind. The kind that when you buckle the safety belt you really don’t feel safe. The kind when you go upside down you can feel yourself rising out of the seat and it makes you want to throw up. The kind that when your friends say “ hey let’s go on this one, you politely decline and say I’ll meet you at the end.” Is my life perfectly how I planned it out right now. No! BUT. I know that God is preparing greatness for me, and that is really all that matters.
Single
3 amazing nephews
Moving back home with parents while I’m in school
Car that I can barely make the payments for
Job I hate
Living in Georgia
In God’s will.
All in all at the end of the day I’d rather be in God’s will with nothing, then out of God’s will with everything, even a hot husband.
Thank-you for reading.
In Christ,
Jessica.
