| | Current mood:  indescribable So, hey, how are you? I feel like I just bumped into an old friend. One I haven't seen in a long time. You know the kind I am talking about. The kind that needs no re-introduction to your life, you can just give them the rundown on what's happened in your life thus far and you're off like a rocket, right back into that familiar warmth of a friendship? Well, even if you don't know what I am talking about...it's good to see you again. There has been a lot going on over here at Chez Jon. I mean ALOT! First off, and definetly the most important, I am now a married fella. Sorry ladies, I'm officially off the market! LOL. I know, the joke is there...but let's just leave it unspoken huh? Unwritten? Oh well, I became Mr. Jessica Youngblood on September 1st, 2007. A day I can't really remember, but will never ever forget! Me and Jessica promptly moved into a house, unpacked and kissed lightly on the cheek to celebrate our nuptials. And if you believe the latter half of that statement, stick around, I have some land to sell you in Coastal New Orleans! Being married is unlike anything I had ever imagined or expected. It has surpassed aforementioned expectations and imaginations IN FANTASTIC FASHION. I mean...wow...when people say that God blessed them in marriage, now I truly know what they mean. I cannot sing her praises enough...Jessica is by far and beyond the most incredible blessing in my life this side of Jesus. God has taken care of me ABSOLUTELY. Not much more to tell, I will post pics of our little house shortly, I get a kick out of living in small town usa with my little wife in my little house....it's a gas knowing that God was setting this up when I was being a jerk to Him. He was preparing this place and time for me even as I was turning to the bottom of a bottle of Jack Daniels and Jose Cuervo. (I know what you're thinking, OH GREAT, HE IS GONNA GET ALL PREACHY NOW....) Well, guess what. You are absolutely right. But not for long. I just want to say this, GOD HAS AN INCREDIBLE PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE. You can take it or leave it. It is entirely up to you. I could still be waiting in Lubbock for the job of a lifetime to come along, or for the ministry opportunity to show up. Or even chasing some dumb girl who has nothing more to do with my life than to play the role of passing scenery. Instead, I sought Gods purpose for my life, and I would argue with any one who might try to tell me that I could be happier elsewhere. The Lord is great, and I have my screw ups and I know that things could be even better were it not for my astounding shortcomings, even so, God has brought me to a place where I can absolutely and with all peace say that I am happy. You may make more money than me, drive a better newer car than me, even have a bigger house and a better job. Guess what? I could not be any happier with where God has brought me. So world, throw me everything you have, devil, come at me with your fangs bared, claws out...I am a child of the Most High God and I will serve Him with my life. I will fight you to the death in the name of Jesus. I will further His kingdom and spread His gospel for as long as there is breath in my lungs and a means to share. As long as there are people in my sight to protect, I will protect them with the word. I will do these things if the sun is shining in my life, or if clouds of darkness try to take over. I will serve my King unconditionally. This may not have interested you in the slightest, but I feel that I needed to have a written RESPARK of my faith, if you will. I'm only a man, but I swear to live my life wholly for Christ. Do you think you have what it takes to join me? jon |
