It’s been a long time since I’ve visited this place. It’s here where my heart echoes through a pen and paper or rather a flashing cursor that begs me to simply tell the truth.
And for a year now, I just couldn’t.
I was too busy listening to those voices that tell me I’m not enough. Those voices that make me feel alone in a room full of people, making everything in me want to leave the party early or not go at all.
They’re right, you know. I’m not enough.
But, He is.
And He’s in me… so I’ve come back to this place.
I’m not a writer, just a lover of words. Words that paint a picture of a Savior that loves me too much to let me stay in my brokenness.
So, I will write.
I will write for One. I will write for Him.
I will refuse to move through this life ignoring the beauty that not only surrounds me, but is in me.
After all, God’s extraordinary beauty really is most often seen in the most ordinary of people on the most ordinary of days.
And that, my friends, is worth writing about.
Love your words Jess. Beautifully written to express what we feel so deep in our hearts. I can relate

Jess, you are enough and you’re beautiful in you! Your heart and soul filter to us all in your writing and your smile! I too struggle with the feelings of loniliness and acceptance. But I do know that I carry God eternally❤️
Very well put, Jess. I’m constantly trying to remind myself of this as well. I look forward to your next post!
