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

Invisible Monster

May 23, 2020, I woke to a miracle surrounding a loved one. Later, I sat in the gardens watching butterflies perch upon lavender lilacs while my Sweet Shalom giggled and chased after them. It had been a perfect day. The air was warm, but the skies overcast like a storm was about to roll in. Life changes quickly... The message flashed on the screen. Wait - he's gone? Dear...I don't know what to call you, I've always wondered, with the slamming of the prison door, did you know what your choices would cost your children? Did you care? My grandpa knew you as a kid. He was your pastor, said your parents were good people. He said you were a good kid too, but somewhere along the journey you lost your way. You lost your way... and I was one of many that paid for your choices. One of my last visits with you left me with a shoulder injury. The physical pain is a reminder that children should never have to v...

Judgment Loomed

As I exited the door my heart was pierced with their animosity. Hatred and poison spewed from their lips. 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. 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. ...

Surprise...Surprise

Wow. It has been a VERY exciting morning!!! A huge smile spread across my face as I cracked open the barn door and three new babies peeked out to greet me. Triplets. Soooo sweet!! Oh.. baby goats have just stolen my heart... everything about them is pure cuteness. My stress level has decreased tremendously now that they're all here safely, and Sally is doing great. We now have 5 babies (4 girls and 1 boy) and two very proud mamas! Well...three if you count me... Sally and her kids Oreo Emma Fudge Unfortunately, I couldn't spend much time playing with our new additions. We had an appointment with the vet so we piled in the car and headed off. The first round of baby goats needed to be dibudded (have their horns removed) and have the first round of vaccines. Our trip was not a pleasant experience for me or my poor little goats. Although t...
