Topsy Turvy...


Life right now is constantly lived on a day to day basis. The only way I can think about the future is if I pull out my pink calendar and plan something in advance. It's amazing how your life leads you through many different walks of life.. it is so interesting. First you start out as a tiny itty bitty baby in your parents arms... eventually you learn to walk, talk, play.. then you start school and it sorta rushes by from there (here comes my montage of pictures from the past... and present)

I have been the same since birth...
it's very evident in this picture... haha
Here I am in with my granddaddy.... What a cute picture!
I don't have any pictures from high school on the computer. Below is me with some of my sorority sisters. How I love these girls! They definitely got me through every hard time in college. They helped me keep my walk with God on the right path and I am so thankful for each of them.
God definitely blessed me with 30+ sisters that I never had growing up.

This picture is about a year ago when life was slowly changing and great things were happening. These are some of my closest friends..... My best friend Stephanie on the left has been the hardest to be away from. She recently moved to Atlantic Beach and it has been a struggle not having her around as much :(

Ahh.. this picture brings back memories of my internship during college. Wow little did I know what I was getting myself into :)
And... this is by far one of my favorites. Jonathan has definitely blessed my life in so many ways. I am so thankful that God brought us together. I believe to this day that God put each of us through different paths so that he could put us together at the perfect time. God definitely knows his timing much better than me. If it was up to me I would have asked to meet Jonathan much earlier... but God is all-knowing and his timing is priceless...
....its so unique how each of us survive every moment that we thought we would never get through. I feel like I am always telling my students that high school will only be a tiny breeze in a few years, but most of them still don't believe me and worry about everyone and anything they can. (But what teacher wouldn't admit that they were exactly like many of the students.....) I always hear my coworkers say... "I was just like that in school... I should go apologize to my teachers..." haha...

I do know that I do find myself questioning why I didn't do better in high school. I could have easily made a 100 in every math class if I had only listened better.... oh well.. can't go back now!

I am so thankful of the life God has given me. I find myself always praising him because of how wonderful he is. He has blessed me so much more than I ever deserve. Through the years I have learned to be so thankful for everything he has given me.... I hope you feel the same way too...


Be thankful... Jess
