About Me

Hey- it’s Jess

My name is Jess. I like soccer, go to the US Merchant Marine Academy and love Jesus to keep things simple.

Some fun facts I like to use to spur conversation:

  • I’m half Austrian (because my dad was an Austrian, I guess it’s genetic or something)
  • I want to be an engineer (I guess I like to solve problems, maybe I should start with some of my own)
  • I’m kind of sarcastic (only a little)
  • Christmas is the best holiday (not that I forget about Halloween or Thanksgiving, I just prioritize the important things)
  • I play the guitar (I am not the best at it, just good enough to say I play)

Now, for those who would like to go more into depth, who am I really?

I am passionate. About life, about people, and about the things I do. Things done half heartedly are only ever half done. Family is one thing I am very very passionate about. We have been through thick and thin together, even if they wear me thin sometimes. But, they live with me so we’ll call it even. Seriously though, they are my rock and without them my relationship with God wouldn’t be rooted. I am totally in love and on fire for God. Don’t mean to scare some of y’all, but He has changed my life in radical ways. Just wait, you’ll see. A lot of my life I have had so much to say, but always felt I came short when talking to people. So, this is my attempt at writing. Most of it is going to have terrible grammar and lots of ramblings, sorry Mrs.Sullivan (my tenth grade English teacher) my run on sentences did not end in your class.

I am compassionate. I love people and absolutely hate to see them torn up. I sometimes struggle to say something, but I find it easier to take action. I wish I had a million dollars so I could have coffee with a million people and just be able to talk to them about life. I wish I had the time too.

I am flawed. I am far from the poster child of a good Christian that never forgets what her Lord and Savior says, but it’s a good thing there’s grace. Messing up was very much accounted for when God created a will for my life. Yet, I believe great Christians are cracked and broken, because in those places where I fail and don’t measure up, Jesus shines through. I don’t have to strive in His love, all I really need to do is look up.

I am who God says I am. And, if this is the only thing you read, then it’s alright cause it’s the only thing that matters. I am a child of God and I hope through this blog you can read what I am sometimes too afraid to say. This is my true love story.
