I can tell that we are gonna be friends....

God is awesome.
I am always in awe of the way he works things out.

Time out: I am also in awe of His grace. I could never do something that would make Him not love me...I am a wretched, unworthy sinner...and He still forgives and offers love and grace...beautiful.

Back to my original thought.... :)

I love how God provides and works things out! I have been LOVING getting to know my friends in Monroe. We are SO much alike. God brought us all together to be amazing friends...that will soon turn into family.

SO excited. SO ready to be there!

On another side(ish) note, thank you to everyone who has donated financially to me. God will bless your offerings :)

I have 25 days until I leave.
I love you all.

God is love,
Jessi

Give me faith to be strong, Father I am so weak...

All too often I make an attempt to steal control away from God.

I think I am able to handle this world on my own.

I am so thankful for my forgiving and gracious Father. He holds me close when I collapse from lack of strength and tells me He loves me more than anything in the world. He offers me more grace than I deserve.

He picks me up, brushes the dirt off, and takes me back. He always takes me back, He always loves.

Thank you.

I leave in 44 days. Each day that passes the excitement inside me grows more and more. I am so ready to see God move in huge ways. I am so excited to meet my class, the people I will spend six months with.

God is amazing. I could never live without Him. I cannot imagine life without Him.

I am so grateful.

God is love,

Jessi
