flood tide: December 2012
http://floodingwell.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
My life and ramblings. Sunday, December 30, 2012. These words have been imprinted upon my brain since I read them in that book I can't seem to stop talking about, A Thousand Gifts,. By Ann Voskamp. They've been seared across my mind because I think they're true, and I think I've seen it happen. Perspective- I can truthfully say all of those things above. However, my response to these things is key. How do I respond when people fail? Do I still trust people, knowing that one day, my trust will be abused?

Walking With Jessica: July 2015

Friday, July 24, 2015. I am back with my people. Mi familia - the unique personalities that comprise #ComptonsConquer awesomeness. Despite my generally independent spirit, now that I am reunited with the gang, I feel a little more whole. I did not spend more than twenty four hours in Charleston before I was back at the airport, suitcase repacked, departing for our annual family vacation. This year’s destination: Baños de Agua Santa, Ecuador. 8220;Okay chicos, forward! 8220;One, two. One, two! We’re...

Walking With Jessica: November 2014

Thursday, November 27, 2014. Gratitude and 8 Buckets of Blessings. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever." -. Increasingly so, I am aware of my material wealth. I recall the moment in Cambodia, walking through a slum of shacks, garbage, and malnourished villagers, when I realized that no matter how poor I was in America - if I was scraping by on a teacher's salary, or living on welfare, or somehow lost everything -. Label your buckets with each of the following:. Relationships...

A Dirty, Homeless Dude Named ‘Jesus’ | fishtheabyss

A Dirty, Homeless Dude Named ‘Jesus’. November 19, 2012. My experience with homelessness could be best described as limited and one dimensional. I could talk talk to you all day about my opinions on the matter but I could never begin to wrap words around the thoughts and emotions that actually flow through the mind of one who has no home, no income, and no stability. So I decided to spend my weekend on the street. Brilliant idea, right? One of my friends quoted Jesus in Luke 9:58 where he said:. We might...

My life and ramblings. Sunday, March 24, 2013. Paintings, Round 2. Peace A time of setting forth, and going out. A person in the distance, raising their hands and celebrating. A new season. (Taken). City Church, 11 AM service. I felt like the word that I got was peace and new growth. I had two pictures and ending up being able to paint both of them, one at the 9, and this at the 11. Wednesday Night Service. Lion of Judah. A Flower, growing in the Living Water, planted by the LORD. Wednesday Night. Always...

My life and ramblings. Sunday, January 27, 2013. Words Mean Things.". So I just ranted about concordances, but I'm not sure I was really talking about concordances. Anyways, I am now actually going to use the concordance to help me find some verses to talk about this topic. We'll see if it helps me ;). Why did I talk about this problem, or that person in that particular way? There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing." Proverbs 12:18. Or I'm like, I fe...

My life and ramblings. Thursday, June 27, 2013. Modesty, Part 2: Beauty? Although, I would say I don't like things about modernism, or post-modernism- especially the part where we kick God out of the picture, but perhaps that's a discussion for another time.). So what does this gentle spirit, that is being formed by Christ, and that represents the image of Christ, look like? I'm not done.). Wednesday, June 19, 2013. Modesty, Part 1. It's not that I don't think the reasons are good- not being a stumbling ...

Walking With Jessica: August 2014
http://walkingwithjessica.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 22, 2014. Back to the Grind, Ready or Not. The last half a year, I have been. But now that it literally looms right before me, now that I am about to dive into the thick of it, I am afraid I may drown. Oh God. Can I handle this? I really don't know. I might break down. I probably will; it has happened before. WHAT have I gotten myself into? Six classes and two jobs? Even though I am just fine. Is not living, though. Just fine. I am not fine at ALL! Sunday, August 17, 2014. No matter what, ...

Walking With Jessica: September 2014

Wednesday, September 17, 2014. No," she says, "but that's great! Her cheeky grin expands across her whole face as she finishes off a Little Debbie Nutty Bar. Like any dessert-loving fifth grader, this is the first selection from her tin lunch box, also packed with a sandwich, a nacho Lunchable, and a note saying, "I love you! I'm not one to beat around the bush, so I jump right in, asking her about herself and her family. Majesty does not hold back. She is the youngest of eight. I think to myself. I love...
