Hey everyone, I've been off here for a long time, but I've been around - just busy and a lot of other things... I'm going to start posting on here again from time to time, and here's a prayer that I wrote tonight that I wanted to share ... The grammar will be edited later, but here it is... :)
God,
I am so sorry that I've been in this world and truly forgotten to live. I'm sooo sorry. I want to worship you. I want to do what you want. Please forgive me for being so self-focused and selfish and stupid. I want to serve You and make my life what I never thought it could be. I want you to change me from the inside out. I know that I can't do this. I'm so sick of trying it all on my own and resolving and striving and fighting against things that I can't win against. I know that you have won against them, and I just need to trust you. You are the only one who can give me victory in my life. You are the one who saved me. When I feel that you aren't there, it's because I'm absent. ME. I've always known that, but I need to really know it so that I can be the servant that I need to be. It's so scary that it's not about me... But that's the way it should be.
Love,
Jessi

attention, everyone!
After three years, I (yes, that would be me) am actually getting to teach. Not worry about discipline problems or disrespect or people pulling out other people's extensions before throwing them over desks. TEACH!! I hope this streak of THIRTEEN DAYS of being respected continues. I am, quite simply, amazed!

School 2.0
Hey, I'm getting ready for bed.. I was typing an e-mail to a friend and decided that I would update here as well about my shock at being where I am. In RC, I seriously have not yet been disrespected in any way by a student. A few want to start talking, but they always get a deer-in-the-headlights look if I tell them to stop, and when I gave a few of them a "Think Sheet" for going the next step, they looked mortified because they know the next step is where I call a parent... By now at the old place, being as school has been in session for two weeks, I would have already been berated on a number of levels, defied, mocked, and otherwise generally disrespected. I know that this honeymoon period can't last forever, but seriously! I think they're setting a record with every day that passes!

a thought
I want to line everything up in God's will for me and put Him first. Think of Him first... Let Him have direction of everything. I'm sick of trying to control it all myself because, well, duh, I'm not able to do that. I had a good conversation with my dad tonight about this kind of stuff, and it made me desire to get back to my first love.
"I Need You To Love Me"
Why, why are You still here with me
Didn't You see what I've done?
In my shame I want to run and hide myself
But it's here I see the truth
I don't deserve You
[Chorus:]
But I need You to love me, and I
I won't keep my heart from You this time
And I'll stop this pretending that I can
Somehow deserve what I already have
I need You to love me
I, I have wasted so much time
Pushing You away from me
I just never saw how You could cherish me
'Cause You're a God who has all things
And still You want me
Your love makes me forget what I have been
Your love makes me see who I really am
Your love makes me forget what I have been
