About the Blog and Jessica

The purpose of this blog is to provide you with new ways to feel more alive through hope, joy, love and inspiring stories. Through my experiences, I hope to teach others how to get closer to God and have a meaningful relationship with Him. It's my way of bringing a little bit of Heaven down to Earth.

I felt the call to join my husband in the ministry in 2012. He is very much the leader in our ministry relationship but I like to be there as a supporter, team mate and partner as much as possible. We feel stronger together than apart. We pastor a small church in our hometown that we absolutely adore. We love people, our community and the journey that God has brought us down as a couple.

My second job is as a math teacher. I LOVE working with my students and putting the gift God gave me to good use. Being a teacher is rewarding, fun and fulfilling. I feel blessed to work in an area that I am passionate about: helping others see difficult things more clearly.

We have two furbabies: Sergeant, the yorkie, and Flash, the Australian Shepherd. Sergeant is strong, independent, smart and attentive while Flash is sweet, shy, snuggly and silly. We also have outside cats and a growing mini goat herd.

Our goal in life is to reach the people of our community and beyond. We feel called to share the love of Jesus with anyone who'll listen and are excited about the journey with those who will join us.

I'd say reforming undesirable behavior might even be impossible on your own. But there is still hope for us. With the love of God, the power of the Holy Spirit and a renewed mind, you can reform your behavior. Youth conference with lots of God encounters! An encounter with God is the easiest way to reform undesirable behavior because the encounter will fill you with the fear of the Lord. The fear of the Lord renews our minds in a way that informs our bodies of what's beneficial to our spiritual health in the eyes of God. So, your mouth doesn't want to lie anymore; your tongue won't allow you to eat certain things; your eyes will be opened to the evil of pornogra...

Don't Pick Up Hitch Hikers...

My husband's passion for hearing God and sharing his words is inspiring. The knowledge God gives him to articulate to his people is astounding. It amazes me that my husband holds these spiritual words within him and nearly bursts with excitement on Sunday trying to get it all out to a physical world. Which brings up Joshua 23. This chapter is Joshua's final charge to the leaders and future generations. What is a charge? It's kind of like issuing a challenge and a warning all at the same time. At weddings, the minister charges the couple with the responsibility associated with marriage...in Joshua, he is charging the leaders to beware of the physical world around them. They've driven out the big tribes from the Promised Land but a few stragglers still remain and Joshua warns the leaders to avoid any entanglements with them. Temptation is sure to be present among these stragglers and they would be wise to remember all God has done for them. He said: 6 “Be very strong;...
