Its been a while since my last blogpost. Sorry about that. This summer is bringing a whole lot of stuff with it...4th of July came and went...and it was the best one ever! :)
Vacation Bible School is next week and we've been so busy trying to get that all together. My days begin and end so fast that I havent had time to think, let alone write down what I think.
I can say this. God is really testing me. My move to Colorado is FAST approaching. I'm still waiting on information from school, and I can't do anything until that info comes. I still don't know where I'm going to live, or how I'm going to pay for everything and I very quickly want to panic and say "God, come on!! When will the pieces start falling into place!??"
I've pretty much decided that I'll be leaving on August 12, late at night. Which gives me exactly 4 weeks from last night left in California. I thought about that this morning, and just about flipped!!! I have 4 weeks to figure out where I'm going to live, pack and move!! Not to mention saying good-bye to everyone!!
And then God stepped in, like only he could.
I got an email today from Shane's mom. It was a daily devotion on Habakkuk 2:3. I loved whatever version they used.
"But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day!" (Habakkuk 2:3 LB)
Have you ever seen that V8 commercial, where one person is looking at something that's not so healthy to eat, and then the other person with them slaps them on the head because they know it's not good for them, and you hear that konk noise?
I swear God did that to me, and I heard the konk noise!
Why am I so worried?? Do I have valid reasons for being worried about where I'm going to sleep and how I'm going to pay for small essentials like food & gas?? Yes I believe I do. But my God is bigger than my worries and my fears. After all that God has brought me through in my life, why do I still question him??
I really hope that it's a lesson that I will learn soon. I don't like getting konked on the head by God.
I have a friend who asked me to sing at a ministry kickoff event last weekend. It was and awesome night and I'm so thankful to have been apart of it.
Brian and Laura Warth are doing some amazing things within the prison ministry.

OMG Jessica ... That was a great post!! I literally got tears in my eyes reading it. I have gotten "Konked" by God like that and it really throws you for a loop but also makes you realize that he is in control. I know you will be all ready to go when the time comes and everything will fall into place. We are going to miss you but we are so happy that you are following your dream and your heart...
