Jessica here, I owe you all who are still checking this regularly, an apology. Why - well once again- life got really busy for me and trying to find the balance between school and Love's Journey became hard and I had to put this beautiful dream and organization of mine on the back burner yet again and focus on my school work. I dream of the day when I can spend hours just working on projects and papers for Love's Journey. One thing I know is that the dream has not diminished in me in fact every time I see a newspaper, or hear a story on the news it sparks the fire in me to work harder to Human trafficking and Sex slavery end in my life time or at least put a dent in this battle. I want to catch you all up on life with me and I'll let Yolanda and Leeann pop in when they have time- we are all sorry that we haven't been on lately.
I'm a senior at Purdue Calumet University studying Early Childhood Education- this semester I have 4 classes - Philosophy(Ethics for Professions), Sociology( Research Methods), Behavioral Human Studies(which sounds nice till I tell you this is my Stats class), and then my Math, Science, and Social studies Early Childhood Class. This is my first full semester on the campus and I LOVE it... This is the perfect campus for me. It has a big campus feel but is still small. I think my biggest class this semester is 30 students with a professor and a T.A( teacher assistant). This campus will still give me that prestigious Purdue University degree that I know a lot of people were worried about but honestly just getting a degree that says I've done it will be fantastic. So in addition to school what else am I doing well...
I'm actively involved in Northview Church in their Children's Ministry where we in our nursery where my Mom and I co- lead it split the room into 3 mini rooms. We have 0-18 months in one room and created a 2's room now where our infants use to be. Our church doesn't have a permanent church home yet--- that's coming in a year!!!! We break ground this spring!!! I wrote about that in a blog awhile ago if you remember. Anyway.... We needed space for our amazing 2 year olds who didnt have a place to belong and so my mom and I have been busy getting that room up and going as well as keeping the rest of nursery running.
We are also getting ready for our annual fundraising for Focus on the Family - the 30th year we have held our Garage Sale at our house. We already have donations coming in and so we have been planning new ways to move items out before the sale in June.
With all that I'm trying to find time to sit back and enjoy my family I am an aunt to 4 amazing kids who are all having birthdays soon and so i'm trying to do the aunt thing and enjoy them and play with each of them while trying to find the time to sit down and write to you all....
I want to write give you guys something to chew on too while I'm here but I dont want this blog post to be pages and pages long. So I guess I'll end by saying this: Go make a difference today in someones life in some way.
Love ya
Jessica
