Trip to Helen

So this past weekend I went on a trip to Helen with my best friend and her family. It was pretty nice. We tube down the river, flew in a helicopter over ruby falls (I was scared to death), and shopped in the cute shops. And no I don't have any pictures. I thought I put my camera in my purse and left it at home...I know shame on me. So unusual for me. But I had a great time!!! I got to ride on a motorcycle which is always a blast!

Change

So Ive been getting this word of Change for a while and I thought I knew exactly what it was talking about but so much can change but I want it to be what the Lord wants. I've been praying if its ok to date. Its been a rough road since well yeh you get the pic and I have been dating Jesus and felt like after all that I needed some time with just me and Jesus to get to know each other more and I have matured greatly and really got a good understanding of my Prince. So now I've decided to ask him if it ok for me to date again....I feel a peace about dating but I really don't want to play the dating game....Im just tried of that. I want to find the man God has for me and go on and live our life's together. I know thats easier said than done...but im ready to settle down with the one i love and enjoy life with him....I know a lot of yall would say Im young and have plenty of time, which is true and I respect your opinions and advice. But take in to fact that i am a lot maturer than normal girls my age and have experience and lived on my on a lot longer too.....but anyways...Im excited for this new season of change and cant wait to see what the Lord has in store for me.

Charlotte

So I've been in Charlotte training since Sunday and today Josiah and I got together and he decided to take me "up town" to eat and just walk around.....Well we meet up and he informed me that we would be taking the train....Keep in mind I never rode on a train before...at least of what I remember....so he def got a good laugh out of it...It was a cool experience....I love "up town" it was sooo much fun...we ate at a really good pizza place and then walked around and had some really good conversation! So good to finally catch up with him...Its been a while since he moved up here.....but the train ride was cool and I will be heading home tomorrow...yeah!!!

Waiting on Him in all my ways.....

So this season for me has def been a maturing season.....In my relationship with Christ.....I've been reading this awesome book that helps you prepare for your mate and your prince in Jesus....So its really preparing me and changing the way I think about things and its giving me a better understanding on relationships.....Waiting is def hard but soooo worth it! I don't want to settle for 2nd best and I want what the Lord has for me....not just whats out there......Its hard at times but I just remember its Gods timing and He has it all planned out!

Another thing the Lord is speaking to me about is going to Haiti in Oct....Well there are a few mile stones in the way right now but I am praying that the Lord will make the way!

There are soo many things that are coming up in my Life different paths that I may want to take but am waiting on clear direction! So please join me in that...

Work is going good. Right now I am in Charlotte for my last training and I can't wait until I am done....Its hard bc you still have goals to meet while your gone..

The family is doing alright....mom is still without a job....not too sure whats she is going to do...She has enrolled in school and started her classes...which are hard for her....but its not paying the bills.....so we shall see.....

Well I will try and get on her a lil more now since I got a better computer that will allow me too!
Hope all is well with you guys!
Thanks for your prayers! Love ya

Preparing....

Hey guys..It truly had been forever since I've posted anything...That's because I don't have internet anymore at home plus I've been super busy with work and family issues.

But I did want to give you guys an update on how things are going and what the Lord is doing in my life.

I am still currently training for my position as a personal banker that I took at the end of may. I got my loan number Thursday and now I can do mortgages and stuff....Fun uh

I really don't know what the Lord has planned for me....I have sooo many desires on my heart and just waiting on the Lord for the clear direction on what He wants me to do. I have been reading a book and also have gotten some amazing words. The Lord is preparing me for him and for my future mate. Its a beautification process and its def a new season for me. I feel like I am maturing more in the Lord as well. Its different then how it was...But its good :o)

I don't know if that makes any sense to you guys.....

Well got to go. Love you guys!~Jess

New Season!

Hey guys, I haven't been on this thing for a long time...So the last thing I posted was about going to Haiti....Well it was amazing!!!! I seen things I've never seen before. Even had gone there just last year its amazing how different each city, town, and village is. I made some awesome friends and those kids touched my heart everyday. I can go on and on and cry and cry....I just can't wait to go back...Maybe the summer trip. Who knows..if it's the Lord's will I will most certainly be going back as soon as He allows! :o) I just want to be in tune with Him and His will for my life. I know He has a time and a place for everything but sometimes I forget that or try to do it on my timing which usually ends up in a big ole mess! I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for me and through me. He amazes me everyday on just how Good He is!!!!

Speaking of which....Most of you know I had an interview the week I got back from Haiti with the bank I'm currently at but just a different position and location (which is closer to home and that's what I really wanted and been praying for) and not even after an hour after my interview.....I got the job!!!!! Praise the Lord! So my last day at Gordon Hwy is may 22nd! I'm really excited about this new position...There is a lot of work involved and a whole lot of training I have to do but it will all be worth it. I know this is of the Lord b/c I prayed about it before the position even came available this last time and I prayed before I applied got the peace to do so and prayed on the way to the interview and just simply asked...Lord if it's not of you....don't let me get it. Anyways...so I am very thankful of that! 

My nieces and nephews are getting sooo big...I need to post some updated pics of them....They make me feel old and I know I'm young but I guess what I am trying to say if they make me realize how fast time goes by! It's crazy....

Well I think that about does it for now!

 Love you guys!!!!

Love ya!!!!
