"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed." (John 3:16-20)
The Name is Jessica.
And I'm a Heavenly Warrior.
God is honestly my first priority.
Sometimes I stumble:
But He gets me through.
I'm not a typical teenager.
I'll be the first to tell you..Life gets hard.
But I'll also let you know:
Nothing is impossible to God.
I've been called a "Holy Revolutionary".
I feel blessed to be persecuted.
I wasn't always this way.
But I can promise - I'll never go back.
My Past Isn't Pretty:
Before I got saved, through the blood of Jesus Christ, my life was in shambles. I was a junior in highschool, living life the way I wanted to. I partied, I drank, I flirted.. all the while, claiming to be Christian. I was lost and confused. I talked about people, and smiled to their faces. I cheated on my boyfriend (whom i am deeply in love with) and didn't care about the consequences. We fought constantly. Our relationship was headed on a downhill course towards sin and disaster. I cut my legs, wrists, and arms to try and ease my pain. I needed help, but i felt helpless. I had no faith, no guidance, no spirit, no life. I was a selfish person. More focused on material things than my own salvation. More focused on this temporary life, than eternal life.
My boyfriend, Matt, brought me to church. Trinity Worship Center to be exact. It was at the altar where I finally found peace. It was there, where together, Matt and I healed our relationship and mended the old wounds. We have learned to love, trust, and forgive one another thanks to the love and mercy of Jesus Christ. I found life. I found everything I had searched for (in all the wrong places). I grew to know a Savior that loves me, no matter what I've done. He took my burdens, and He made them His own. He died, so I could live.
I am now an active member in church. I am the leader of the youth drama team and enjoy every moment of it. I'm keeping my focus on the word of God, and am staying aware of the Enemy's devices. I have built a relationship with God.. and it's my turn to minister to other teens. So they will know that by God's grace, they too.. can be saved.
MattyCakes - The Love of My Life:
I've never loved another person as much as I love you. You mean everything to me and i wouldn't be who i am today without you. I dont know what i would do if you weren't in my life. You understand me so well, and you've never let me down. You treat me like i should be treated. I'm in love with you - and i always will be.
Teter will Never know What He Means To Me:
It's been what... 5 years now since you've had the "best friend" title? Sometimes it's been hard but we've made it through. Sometimes I feel like you're the only one that relates to me. Sometimes you're the only person I can talk to. You're so funny, and just such a good person. I wouldn't be who I am today without you.
Heather Elizabeth will always be my Bffl:
We've been through alot, and that's inevitable..but we've perservered. You're a true bestfriend. Cause i know no matter how many miles away you are - if i ever need anything you'll be there. Thanks for always being someone i can trust... someone who's always been by my side.
Kristin is my Best Buddy + She makes me Giggle:
I'm so thankful that God brought you back to Albany. I'm a firm believer in the fact that everything happens for a reason. And through my struggles over the past few months, you've stuck by me and been there for me. You've helped me to grow individually and spiritually. You can always make me laugh - and our sleepovers are pretty much the best. i love you like woah!
Taylor is the Coolest Kid i know:
Taylor, first i must say that you have some serious issues. lol. You really dont think sometimes but that's okay. Cause you're absolutely hillarious, and you mean alot to me. Not to mention you're Matt's little sister. You're a fun chick, and one of my best friends. i love u kiddo!
