I've been hearing a lot of phrases such as "live like today is your last" and "tomorrow isn't promised". Now, I've heard these phrases a lot so typically they go in one ear and right out the other. This week has been a bit different for me. Let me tell you why.
I've been thinking a lot about how many times I've been 'bored' or have wasted away my day saying that "I'm just not good enough" to make any kind of impact. I've felt unequipped to make any Youtube videos that people would want to watch or that I would be unable to actually capture anyone's attention with what I have to say. I thought, "maybe what I have to say isn't really all that important". Thinking this, though, made me do something even worse than taking a chance; it made me hold back and do absolutely nothing with my day. These little phrases that I've been hearing all of this week was a gentle push from God. Whenever I thought "I'm not skilled enough to do that" He said "Just try it" and whenever I said "Nothing I have to say will ever be sufficient to help someone else or make an impact on anyone" He said to me "What if it does. What if it changes just one person's life for good." That did it. I was hooked. I had been so disgusted with myself for not doing anything to make a difference, so fearful of what might happen, that instead of being blessed and taking the very day I was given to do something, I was wasting it. Immediately after coming to this realization yesterday, I opened up this website and blog to start doing and stop making excuses. I don't know what direction this is headed, but I trust that it is better than doing nothing. I am also working on my Youtube channel here. Subscribe to join me! Jared Mecham of Ellie and Jared on Youtube had asked himself what would he do if he had nothing to stand in his way, nothing to be fearful of, and thus became their Youtube channel here. Here's my question to you: What if today was your only day to make a difference? What would you do? ~Jess

There's a battle going on inside us. I have chosen, after much consideration, to spend my life fighting for God in a sinful and God-hating world. This blog tells that story.
