hello! i’m jessica
Wife, mother, & Jesus Lover
I am a wife to my husband of 18 years, and mom to three amazing kiddos. I am in that mom balancing act of nighttime cuddles, learning to read, and teenage hormones. All the prayers are welcome. ; )
I have been a believer for most of my life. The Lord encountered me on my swing set in my backyard when I was 5 years old. I still remember it. I was swinging by myself and felt him near me. I asked him to come live in my heart. <3 I then went into the house to tell my parents all about it. : )
I am the sort of person that uses emojis and smiley faces at an entirely inappropriate level. I love coffee, good friends, and laughing. I love quality time with friends and deep conversations. I also like dancing and singing in the kitchen. I am an introvert that loves cozy sweatshirts and cuddling up to a good book. I love Jesus. I love the Word. It’s like an old friend.
When I was 36, I was diagnosed with stage 3 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. I am still here because the Lord healed me. I don’t like to say I’m a survivor, but a cancer overcomer! That was without a doubt the hardest thing I have ever had to walk through. I came out of it though, stronger and knowing the Lord and the Word in a completely new way. The Word is very true. It is so powerful. What Jesus did on the cross was way more than I realized. I always thought that the cross was only for salvation. I learned through my journey that it was much more than that.
I am on a journey now to renew my mind and get more anchored in the word. I want to be aligned with scripture and the cross. I want to become more like Jesus everyday. I am such a work in progress but I know that everyday is an opportunity to grow. Every day is a gift. My hope is that this blog would encourage you to draw closer to Jesus. To know Him. To believe Him. To get in the Word and let it transform you. <3
get to know me
These are a few of my favorite things…
- I love my little family. : ) I love watching funny videos, being silly, and laughing together.
- I love a good meme. Find a good one? Send it my way. : ) I’m here for ridiculous and funny things on the internet.
- I love my dog. We have a goofy little Goldendoodle, Willow. She is super silly but we love her to pieces.
- I love reading and going to the library. I try to go to my local library as much as I can. I’m a nerd like that. : )
