I’m Jessica, your extremely average small-town girl who encountered Jesus Christ in a dramatic, life-changing way in 2021. Having received salvation at age 13, I was already a believer, but the fruit of my life was not representative of a life lived In Christ, and I didn’t understand.
Following the birth of my third child, Jesus miraculously came and found me in the pit of emotional and mental darkness and torment, and it was in this place of healing and restoration with God, with His Holy Spirit, that something was awakened in me. Something changed in me forever in this season, and I’m never looking back.
I am wife to Clint, my lifelong love since high school, I am mama to three amazing souls, I am a full-time work-from-home nurse at my day job, and I write.
My prayer of this whole assignment is that you could say this like the people did in response to the woman at the well in John 4:42…
“They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.”
To God be ALL the glory.
I’m only here because of Him.
May God use these writings to speak intimately and powerfully in His way, just like you need.
May they find their way to the deepest, most real you. May His voice of fire spark your soul back to life, to live for Him for the rest of your days.
This I pray for you, in Jesus’ name.

It’s He who inspires these things, and to God be all the glory, honor and praise. I am not perfect, nor have I ever claimed to be. I remember singing this song as a kid in sunday school, and how it says so perfectly on its own what I want to say, a song by
Joel Hemphill:
He’s Still Working On Me
He’s still working on me
To make me what I need to be
It took him just a week to make the moon and stars
The sun and the earth and Jupiter and Mars
How loving and patient He must be
‘Cause He’s still workin’ on me
He’s still working on me
To make me what I need to be
It took him just a week to make the moon and stars
The sun and the earth and Jupiter and Mars
How loving and patient He must be
‘Cause He’s still workin’ on me
There really ought to be a sign upon my heart
Don’t judge him yet, there’s an unfinished part
But I’ll be better just according to His plan
Fashioned by the Master’s loving hands
He’s still working on me
To make me what I need to be
It took him just a week to make the moon and stars
The sun and the earth and Jupiter and Mars
How loving and patient He must be
‘Cause He’s still workin’ on me
In the mirror of His word
Reflections that I see
Makes me wonder why He never gave up on me
But He loves me as I am and helps me when I pray
Remember He’s the potter, I’m the clay
He’s still working on me
To make me what I need to be
It took him just a week to make the moon and stars
The sun and the earth and Jupiter and Mars
How loving and patient He must be
‘Cause He’s still workin’ on me
He’s still working on me
To make me what I need to be
It took him just a week to make the moon and stars
The sun and the earth and Jupiter and Mars
How loving and patient He must be
‘Cause He’s still workin’ on me
