A very inspiring day so far:) I found this beautiful picture of my beautiful wife very early this morning…this is how I picture her waiting for me…it’s so perfect. Here’s some of the ever so inspiring moments from just this morning alone:
-One of my best girlfriends volunteered at my church, Soul City, this morning and she started attending with me after Jessica went to be with The Lord. Amazing!
-A good friend joined me at church for the first time this morning and was so very inspired by the message. She wants to continue coming as well! Amazing!
-Some very major decisions and plans have been made for my future and I feel that Jess is so very proud. Amazing!
-I received this message from another dear friend:
“It’s 7 o'clock Sunday morning, I am in the dells with the kiddos but got away for an hour yesterday to go buy some purple moccasins for mars, we passed a pay phone which you never ever see anymore so I went to see if it actually worked. It did, even had a return # but right next to it was a piece of paper, all it said was john 3:16 I immediately thought of Jess. My husband and I only had the pleasure of spending time with Jess a handful of times, but her passion for life was contagious and her faith in God relentless. God and I don’t have a great relationship, I am agnostic and have been for many years. But in the days and in the weeks that Jess has graced heaven, I have seen things that have made me realize there is a higher power. Each week the rains have opened and directly above our house during these downpours was a bright blue sky, this has happened 4 times, each time I told the kids that Jess was trying to sending us a rainbow, the last time I actually went outside with an umbrella and stared at the sky in disbelief. What I am getting at may sound cheesy especially from a cynic like me, but I truly think that Jess is an angel and she is sending me a message (well not just me!) to live the best life I can, to be the best version of myself ,to be a better wife, mother and friend . To make the most of the time I have been given. You both reminded me what love should look like, you reminded me to keep dancing and laughing with my husband, we had forgotten how to do that, it’s too easy to lose each other to let the other person float away. I will always always remember Jess, for she has given me a much needed kick in the ass- life is out there and I better live it to the fullest. Jess didn’t have a long life but she had a big life and I will spend the rest of my days trying to do the same, so I thank you dear for sharing her with me, with all of us. What joy she brought to so many and what an inspiration she will always be. I know that she is planting you the most beautiful garden in heaven and like you said human life is just a heartbeat away in heaven. Love you.” Amazing!
-Lastly, I was honored and humbled to pray over the phone with a best friends father, Anthony Sr., from his hospital bed…God helped me to give him hope, positivity, faith and health during this very difficult time. Amazing!
God is working through each and every aspect of my life…and Jessica’s influence is very apparent not only to me but many others…and it feels so very good walking with these people as they grow their faith. AMAZING!!!
