Sunday Words.

It's Sunday morning and I am off to church, for the first time in over a month, with Jay Hart :)
My mom told me to say this as a little prayer a long, long time ago. On mornings when I wake up feeling wonderful, or not so wonderful, I say this, and 99 times out of 100, I feel amazingly comforted and better.

Take this and start saying it whenever you have the chance; when you first wake up, when you are enjoying a beautiful day outside in the sunshine, when you are stressed or upset, anytime. And really think about the words and their meaning when you say it. See what it does for you.


The 23rd Psalm:

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name' sake.


Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: For thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou annointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.


Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.



So that is that.
If I die today, I would want you to know this.
xo, Jell.

Living in the world, while trying to follow by faith in the Word. Yep: the struggle is real.

In the midst of our chaotic, busy, go-go-go mentality type world that we live in these days, I wanted to take a minute of reflection of some deep rooted pain I’ve been experiencing , and the freedom and wisdom I’ve gained from enduring it . I wanted to take a moment to write about that, and share the growth, strength,  and fruitful blessings that are available  to all of us through the power of The Cross. It’s a fight I’ve been battling through, and I pray someone else may be able to relate while reading this page, and be inspired while leaving it.   Much of my life I have practiced the habit of ignoring God’s signs,  pushes, and plans for my life; of being completely and totally self-indulgent.  I’ve chosen my ways over His time and time and time again. Not because I have any desire to disobey Him; my heart is set on quite literally the opposite. But this world that we live in doesn’t encourage us to walk by faith… to follow “Emmanuel: God with us.” The world ...

Feelings Lately.

This songs words touch me so greatly. One can only guess who it reminds me of. </3 Remember, no matter how easy you think it will be, or how ready you are for it, goodbyes are never easy; never . I just have to keep thinking it's not goodbye, only see ya' later.  But goodness; it is so much easier said than done. So that is that. If I die today, I would want you to know&hear this. xo, Jell.

Wonderful Happiness.

Yesterday, I worked on monologues, read some plays, had time at the gym, and fasted. I fasted for a church wide pray and fast day and nearly died; literally. But kept my prayers going and ended up makin it through 24 successful hours without eating! I was very proud of myself :). Note to everyone: if you are fasting, do not go do an intense work out. Not a good idea. The entire Turner Center almost saw me pass out in the middle of the gym yesterday. Ha. It wasn't funny then, but it is now. :) I came home last night and was planning to have a quiet night in by myself and be a bit of a bum.  However, I decided to have a couple friends over for tea and talk :) Kelly and Christian came and chilled for a little while and then had to leave to go to Wal Mart. Though I was planning to stay in for the evening, they told me to come, so I did, got some groceries, and then they talked me into spending the night with them! We hung out, made nachos and brownie bites at 12:30 am when I was ab...
