About Jessica


I currently spend most of my day working with marvelous, precocious little humans in my Prekindergarten class, where, in any given moment,  I may be found boogieing to a Jack Hartman ABC tune, marveling at a shakily drawn letter of the alphabet…or reminding my kids for the 800th time to cap their dry erase markers, because, "If you don't hear it click, the marker will get sick!" I SERIOUSLY get tired of hearing my voice sometimes. 


Speaking of my voice, I love to sing, as well as play the piano, and I enjoy creating my own songs.  I love worshiping my Heavenly Father.  Sitting in front of the keyboard is home for me. 


I'm a gleeful baker…sweet treats are my specialty.  And, I admit the payoff is sweet as well - family and friends contentedly munching away! 




 Finally, I love the One who created me;  the One who decided, way before this universe was ever created, that I would be His daughter.  He's given me new life, and a new identity.  I'd spent most of my life thinking I needed to earn His approval, and needed to try to find a way to get closer and closer to Him.  What joy it was to learn that I am already complete, holy, and wholly loved by Him.  Perfectly righteous, and perfectly perfect.  The old is gone, the new is here to stay. 

 Enjoy!:)

I'm Done

I've been a Christian my whole life.   My childhood years were full of activities very common in our culture today - Sunday school, youth group, and summer camps.  During my teens I transitioned into being a youth leader, worship leader, camp counselor, and nursery school teacher.  I attended a well-known Christian university in college and became a public school teacher…but I left my chosen profession of teaching (and my comfy, decent-paying job) after 4 years to attend a Bible college.  My life became more "ministry" centered, and I worked as a personal assistant to a minister and his wife, and eventually as a worship director in churches. Through all those experiences, I loved Jesus, and was so grateful for what He'd done for me.   In keeping with what I'd been taught over the years, I did whatever it took to get closer to Him.  Being very self-reflective, I was a pro at identifying all my supposed imperfections and failures.  I kept tallies in my head of the

Why Me?

I've been really blessed recently by one of my new favorite passages in Scripture, Ephesians 1:4.  "Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love." Before He spoke this earth into existence, God had a plan.  An intricate and stunning plan to breathe life into His sons and daughters, and increase His family of three to a family of millions.  His children would rule and reign with Him in victory, living a life of joy and peace here on earth and in the eternity to come.  Being God, who by very definition is love, His efforts in creating us were not merely some overflow of creativity by a massive creative being, though I'm sure His creations do spill out of Him like so much water.                            He's a Father.  The perfect Father.   A fat
