Second Chance

How big is your world when you are the center of it?
How small is your world when it comes crashing down?
Out of all the places to be, you're in that one building that never closes.
The one place where a parking lot is always occupied.
You enter the halls of white coats, and within them are your perceived notions of answers.
Answers for what exactly?
Cures for what exactly?
The sick, the diseased, the broken.
How naive are we to think someone who is broken lays only in a hospital.
Their in our homes. Their in our schools.
Their the person who walk beside you down the road.
Their in the grocery store, their in the restaurant drive through.
Look around you, you don't need to go to a hospital to find the broken.

But you ask yourself, how are you able heal?
You haven't been trained, you didn't go to school for it.
You hands aren't sanitized with white gloves.
And you have no degree stating your eligibility.

You don't have all the answers, and neither do I.
But I will offer you this one.
You are called to heal from the day Jesus healed you.
You are trained during your devotional time with Jesus.
In your quiet place, you secret time, just you and God.
Your hands are pure by the Holy Spirit who empowers you.
And your eligibility is your birth certificate when you were born into Christ.
You are a child of God, this is your eligibility.


Bringing you back to that small hospital room,
All you want to hear is the sound of that machine beep.
To know the one you love will live.
Then, those beeping lines spike on that machine that declares life and death.
Your heart races as you feel helpless.
You have no control over that heartbeat.
You have no control over that breath you love one is breathing in.

The monitor beeps a flat line across that screen.

One last chance, those white coats warm up that defibrillator and shouts "Clear."
You wait.
Wait to see if your loved one accepts that spark of life.
The spark of life that brings them back from that place that is eternal separation from God.

Taking a different look at this second chance of life..
Think of what a defibrillator appears to be in outline format.
Pressed together, side by side.
The image itself represents an opened book.
This opened book is the Word of God.
As soon as that book is opened, life is breathed out.
All you have to do is choose to breathe it in.
Open your book, and listen.
Listen to God speak to you.
For He can bring back anyone who is on the brink of death.

You breathe out as you listen to that heartbeat once more,
Knowing the one you love choose that second chance.
They chose to breathe in, Life.

Breathe in Faith

Faith overcomes obstacles
Through faith there is forgiveness
Through faith there is action
We are all disabled by sin
Who do you know who needs a friend?
Take up the Cross
Let Jesus Win
As He healed the Paralytic
Let Him Heal You
Don't be confined in frustration
Get mobile, breathe in faith and out
Will come the Word

Isaiah 41:10
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.


Today I lived by this verse, even though there is a lot of death and despair going on in my life I know that you are walking me through this. You will never give up on me, you will take me by the hand and lead me to the path of healing. 

Your Creation, Oh Creator!

Your Creation, Oh Creator!
I saw a faint full moon staring at me rising in the west, 7 a.m.
Driving east, that passionate ball of orange throws its color on the world to awake the day
Your Creation, Oh Creator!
The laughter you filled me with today, among good people of your creation
Smiles that spread like daylight
Your Creation, Oh Creator!
Oh Lord! I celebrate in the life created today
How remarkable,
How precious,
How often overlooked
Oh Creator, Thank you for such Creation!

You are my...

Jesus,

You are my sunshine my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are grey... or blue...or purple...or starry, or clear. You pretty much make me happy all the time. You have been with me through the thick and the thin, the good and the bad days and you never leave my side. Jesus I confide in your love through all my days. BECAUSE of you my heart is joyous, giving and courageous. WITH YOU, I can conquer anything. 

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" Philippians 4:13

Love, Jessica

Thanking Him
     I am blessed.
        We should all be astounded by his love and graciousness.
             Not one should go by, and be self centered.
                   Jesus centeredness is the way to be.

New Year's Resolution

"I will never leave you nor forsake you." - Hebrews 13:5

When you start the countdown
Raise your glasses and give a toast to the One
Who means the most
... My resolution?
Is to follow God, Jesus, Holy Spirit
If you think He's not there, turn up your ears
Listen, you'll hear it
Forget the Mayans 2012
Remember God this New Year
When you start the countdown
Let Go
Let God

spreadtheWord's Mission

As Jesus called his disciples to be fishers of men, I am using this blog to not only write about my walk with Jesus but use it as a net to hopefully connect with others as well. So don't be afraid to share your stories about Christ and hopefully our net will only continue to grow. I know I am a stronger person now that I follow Christ and the more I welcome Him into my life, the stronger I feel. I hope this blog helps your growth and I hope we can have a communication about our daily living in Him. Peace be With You and God Go With You,
