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

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 this past Sunday. To my relief the Pastor spoke words of love, life and truth NOT condemnation. Healing and refreshing. It was the uninvited memories that ha

A New Chapter

It seems like yesterday... I can still remember the moment his bare skin pressed against my chest. With limbs too exhausted to move - still they found their way to envelope this tiny gift. "Hi baby, I'm your mom." With the sound of my voice his face turned to meet mine. Deep, genuine eyes peered into my soul. Doctors rushed about as I lay on the table, life draining from my veins, but the atmosphere did not speak of the danger lurking. For just a moment... as that little guy locked me into his gaze.. all was perfect...Heaven met us both... and in our own world two hearts melted into one. The room was quiet. Doctors, family and friends had finally left us alone. This was the moment I had been waiting for. Yet I was terrified - terrified that I would fail him. In silence I sat, fixated on the clear plastic basket that held my heart. My breath heaved heavy as I picked him up. Snuggling him between my legs I began to unwind the unending twirl of fleece that

O Christmas Tree...O Christmas Tree Part II

Welcome back! I hope y'all are having a blast preparing for Christmas. It can be hard work to get everything done. Exhausting in fact. I'm sure you've earned some relaxation time. So, grab something warm to drink, prop up your feet for a moment and enjoy some time for yourself. I hope you'll be inspired by what I've done and be challenged to unleash your imagination too. Jessie's Christmas Tour Part II Guests are greeted by an antique sled adorned with boughs and an adorable coat that my sons wore as toddlers. In years past, I've decorated in an elegant fashion. I love the grandeur and opulence. However, this year I decided to go with a more down home natural look and I absolutely love it! A simple way to display Christmas cards. My mother gave me this nativity a few years ago. It was handed down from my great aunt. I miss her SO much. Pulling this out each year makes me feel as though she is still with me. It also reminds
