April is here! My last post about the snow seems like a distant memory as I sit in the 80 degree weather listening to the birds chirp and taking in the smell of fresh cut grass. Not only does that post seem distant because of the change in weather, but because of the change in me. Some people fondly call it "New Jess".
The Lord has been hard at work in my life these last few months. Somewhere back there I began drifting, letting my circumstances dictate my thoughts, feelings, and actions. I chose to live and love on my own strength, refusing to surrender my fears and sorrows to the Lord. As always, no matter how turned around I get, He pulls me out of the hole I have burrowed myself in and brings me back to life- a life filled with His inexhaustable love. He has redeemed me once again and has brought back my joy, my ability to love people, and my true self. I am New Jess!
