Party Time

Hello...I just have to tell y'all that I am officially the mother of a high school graduate.  YAY!!!  It's SOOOOO exciting and frightening all at the same time.



 Most days I see the young man that stands before me but there are still times when I get a glimpse of that little boy and I wonder... how did time slip away so quickly...


~Kindergarten Graduation~

~Junior High Graduation~

We are so proud of our son!  Not only has he graduated high school but because he was homeschooled he was given the opportunity to finish his senior year at college, graduating with 22 college credits already behind him.  The year has been filled with lessons, struggles and exciting opportunities.  I can't wait to see what the future holds.



Looking back upon the years I remember many moments...days...and yes.. even years that I wasn't sure we would make it through.  I'm sure many of you know exactly what I'm talking about.  Maybe, your experiencing one of those seasons now?  Raising children is hard...but it is also the greatest joy in the world.   Don't give up!  Pray.  And keep putting one foot in front of the other...because watching your kids grow into kind, responsible adults who love God will be worth every difficult moment!






 Gotta go for now.  I have a party to plan! =)

 P.S. Oh, and in the business of life I have totally forgotten to update y'all about my juice fast...lets just say I started... and then it was a train wreck.  =)  Oh well, that's life sometimes. Right?  I'll get back on it and meet my goals but for now I have more important matters to attend to.

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...
