Meme

I got tagged by a dear friend and since I like her so much, I figured I'd give this a try. So what one has to do is:

1. Write your own six word memoir
2. Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you’d like
3. Link to the person that tagged you in your post and to this original post if possible so we can track it as it travels across the blogosphere
4 .Tag five more blogs with links
5. And don’t forget to leave a comment on the tagged blogs w
ith an invitation to play!

My only real problem here is that I don't think very many people actually read this blog and the people who have blogs who do read it, have already been tagged. So if you want to do it.. do it!

Ok here it goes:


Doesn't need to make sense now.


Overall I think those six words(ok I know doesn't is really two words but I need you to bear with me) have been a constant theme in my life lately. Often I find myself wondering why certain things are happening and I take huge comfort in knowing that it's all part of a bigger picture. I know that while I have no idea why life twists and turns out the way it does, it doesn't matter because some day it will all be clear. I didn't plan on Indonesia but I can see how God used that experience in so many ways. I didn't ever picture Germany as a place I'd live and I really have no idea why I'm being called there but I don't have to know now. And so I do the next thing.. I go through the next door knowing that it's all going to be okay.

Great, thoughtful memoir and lovely photo. It is hard to go with the flow sometimes, but your attitude is good. I hope you learn what you need to learn from your current journey:)

Jess, those are beautiful thoughts. I admire your willingness to trust God when all is not clear. I'm proud of you, babe!
p.s. I still haven't done mine because I can't think what to put and I didn't want to look like too much of a loser because I didn't have anyone to tag. But you certainly don't look anything like a loser, so maybe I won't either (although I can't be too sure!)

Hello Jessica,
You don't know me at all but I used to read your blog frequently and then lost it. Somehow I have found it again! It has been over a year since I have seen your "adventures in education" in Indonesia. I guess I am seeing correctly that you are now heading to Germany! You are an amazing woman and it is wonderful to see how you are allowing the Lord to lead and guide your life. May God give you peace and the strength you will need for this new adventure.

well if I didn't just HAVE to go looking for the Grey's Anatomy personality test...

I was 75% Izzie too. See, you and I are one. Now, off to find which Hollywood stud muffin I'm most likely to connect with. :-) (not sure that I would work so hard to get Brad Pitt!) :-)
