Ooooo look at me I'm actually posting.

For those of you from who don't know, I haven't posted in about six months.:) Upon the encouragement of my dear friend and former roomie, Sarah, I decided to post. It's not terribly deep so don't expect too much.

Things I have learned from BMA BIble Institute:

  • Prayer is AMAZING...a power we forget to use (i haven't figured out why yet)
  • The book of Hebrews is deep, but my overall understanding of it is much better now
  • My spiritual gifts
  • Arguments can be both stimulating and exasperatting but I never seem to tire of them
  • Its really hard for me to keep my mouth shut (this relates to the previous point)
  • Some unsolicitted yet welcomed advice for my upcoming marriage :)
  • Don't throw water on boys. They have better aim and can throw more of it back on you (this was learned through observation, I promise)
  • God is capable of using people in amazing ways, even when they mess up big time
  • I am not the procrastinator I once was and I'm trying not to be too proud of that fact
  • The Great Commission is a command not a suggestion or an option

Ok, I think I'll stop now. I just want to say that I had a wonderful experience and thank you to all who helped bring that about.

I am very glad to home in this nice warm utopia, but I miss the new friends I  made.

If you want to know what's going on in my life right now, it's pretty much wedding planning in full swing around our place.

Smile and have a wonderful day.....

Hey Jesse,  I can't believe you updated, I didn't ACTUALLY believe that you would, but I'm glad you did.  I agree with you totally on the power of prayer - that is probably the biggest thing that I learned, as well as that a simple conversation can turn into a discussion which may then lead to a debate and then an argument in which your mind gets overly stimulating and then it will quickly return to a conversation again.  Fun, Fun, Fun.  And yeah, guys do have better aim when throwing water :)    Have fun with those wedding plans -  and yes JESSE I miss you too (imagine me saying that in my whiney crying v-ball voice)  later gator  - Sarah

Oh my Jess, I saw that you posted on my xanga site and just about fell off my chair  :)  Just kidding......but I am very glad to know that you are still alive and that you have not completely fallen off the face of the earth.  I really think that you should update us on your life since the last post has been almost a year ago.  come on, I know you can do it.....
