from the "bleh" to the "OH YEAH!"

So guys, as you know, I was struggling for awhile with just the job, decisions, and you know...just typical life struggles. Well, as faithful as our Lord Jesus is, because He is SUPER awesome, He just blessed me this week, so undeservingly. Let me break it down...so Friday night, Linds and I went to Fresno,CA to sleep over at my friend's house, Becca. It was SOO good because she was someone I went to school with at Bethel, and it was nice to see someone from home. So that was good to chill with her! She even made me waffles! My Fav! In case you didn't know, I love WAFFLES!! yum yum! Especially with yogurt on top! If you haven't tried it, TRY IT BEFORE YOU DIE!! So, good..I know its in heaven! Anyways, so this week was kinda tough starting out. Sunday I just took a Sabbath day just me and Jesus. Grocery shopping and laying out. Then me and another tech, Tiff, went on a walk and it was solid because God used her to speak alot of truth. I do complain about being home alot but Tiff was like, "Jessie, you are here now, so how will you take advantage of that time!?" and after some intense talk...I was convicted. God wants me here, for now, and I need to serve Him and make the most of it. I mean my favorite verse is Ephesians 5:16 "Make the most of every opportunity!" So today, Linds and I were at a school and I was just feeling that urge to tell kids, "HEY JESUS LOVES YOU SO FREAKING MUCH!! AHHH!" So anyways, after my conclusion, I said, "Hey if you guys wanna chat, feel free to come down! I'd love to talk to you!" So 2 girls came down and said, "So when was this about bullying?" I didn't really understand the question but I told them a few more since this one has been on it. They seemed like they wanted to open something up to me but I didn't pressure them. The convo got quiet but I got so excited they came to talk I probably sounded like an idiot! So I asked them what High school they were gunna go to and what they see themselves doing. One girl didn't know, but the other wanted to be a performing arts major and do dance! It was so and they were so excited to tell me about it! I was so over-joyed I got to talk to some students! I miss it!! So God just totally made my day sending those 2 girls to talk to me. Then tearing down the equipment we had 3 boys help us, Carlos, Jose, and Alejandro! Awesome guys! We chatted a bit while tearing down but after they asked if I'd shoot some hoops with them..so I did, while Linds go the car. And as we loaded up, I just nonchalantly said, "Hey guys thanks so much! Jesus loves you!" They didn't say anything but just were so happy a shot some hoops with them! Dude, this is what its about, man!! I don't care! I wanna tell people bout Jesus! Not force them on it, but if the opportunity is there, and God tugging on my heart..I'm gunna do it!! I'd rather lead someone to Christ then be too scared to think what people will think or get in trouble! Its worth it! I was so happy to meet those students and it just warmed my heart today to have that opportunity! Carlos, kept calling me teacher, and I told him, "dude, call me Jessie" and he said, "well you taught us about this stuff!" and I said, "yeah thats true.."But I was thinking, dude, you got an awesome Teacher you could meet..His name is Jesus and He will rock your world when you meet Him!! OH YEAH!! Boo-ya!
