Can You Help Me, Please!

Hey everyone! I hope you have a wonderful, loooong weekend! We are doing a yard sale here and it is so nice to purge unnecessary items and reclaim some space. I can't even tell you how awesome it feels. I would love to hear what all you have planned...

I don't have much to say tonight but I was hoping that you would do me a favor. I have an assignment due in a week that I need your help on - I am supposed to take a survey with only one question to be answered: What is your biggest struggle in life? What hurts your heart in the still of the night? I need raw, honest answers.

I know this can be difficult so rather than asking people in person I thought it might be better to ask here. This is what I would like for you to do: You are always welcome to call me if you would like to share with me personally and I can pray for you and you can pray for me. You can send me a personal email that will be kept confidential. Or if both those options feel uncomfortable you can comment here on the blog anonymously. I don't need your name and I don't need to know if you are male or female. It would be helpful to know what age range you fall into but I don't need your specific age. I give my word that nothing you share with me will go any further than me. I know I'm asking something hard but if you could help me it would be so appreciated.

Until then...
Jessie

Light Always Wins

I was seven when I stepped foot into the Tel Aviv Airport accompanied by my stepdad - a Palestinian. The Israeli soldiers stood armed as they ripped through each of our suitcases, pulled my dad into a room for questioning, and detained us for several hours. We were not there as tourists. We were on our way to Jericho to visit family... but we were the enemy. Even at seven the hatred between all was undeniable. As a child I did not comprehend fully but I remember...fear. Walking the roads of that country for a month is an experience I will never forget. I remember once being at a family member's home while they argued over who was right, the Jews or Palestinians. I remember the tears, the anger, and shouting. I can't recall most of the words spoken that day. I don't know whose argument was stronger. What I do know is...what the Bible says about God's chosen people, and that in war... no one wins...even when it is necessary there is always suffering for both sides. The J...

Judgment Loomed

As I exited the door my heart was pierced with their animosity. Hatred and poison spewed from their lips. Murderer! Whore! Baby killer! You'll rot in Hell for what you did! Over and over... The savage mob encircled me with no escape. Screaming just a breath away from my face. Shoving with such force I was almost knocked to the ground. They spat in my hair. Humiliated. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I pushed through the violence. Once inside my car I began to weep. Even in the present their vile words reel through my mind. Beads of sweat began to form in my tightly clinched fists. Squirming in my chair... biting my lower lip as an attempt to hold it together. Peering above the Pastor's head as though I was looking at him... knowing if I did I would burst into tears. That was my experience at church...
