Twenty Questions Anyone?

Hey there!

  To celebrate this twentieth vlog and the twenty fantastic weeks of tour, I give you, my readers/watchers, a challenge. If you can come up with 20 questions for me (they can be serious or funny), I will answer them sometime during my break. No more than one question per person. :P
  Here is vlog 20. It commemorates a fantastic, crazy, low-sleep, high-energy debrief week with the team. It was great to celebrate tour together. And while it's hard to say goodbye, I'm definitely enjoying rest and time with my family back at my VA home.

Thankful for you!
Jessica

Close to Home

Hey again!

Last week, we wrapped up our conference tour with a final conference in MD. It was great to be near home. I never realized how much it boosts my confidence to have been in a place before. ;)
The conference was pretty fantastic. My whole family got to come experience it and it was great to see friends from home.
Enjoy the vlog!

Something I learned was to hold my hands open. I had 38 6-10 year olds to teach which meant that I had a lot of supplies to prepare. There were also conversations and relationships I needed to prioritize. I found that every time I trusted that God would work out the details and prioritized the people, He met me in incredible ways.
I'm so grateful for this journey and getting to share it with the incredibly authentic, sacrificial, and growing community of my team.

With love from TN,
Jessica

Welcome to New...Jersey!

Hey friends!

  We just wrapped up our New Jersey conference. It was a great event. Definitely one of the hardest, but we laughed at the challenges and grew through them.
We had to remember to be fully present and to have each other's backs. The challenge kept us on our toes.
Because of the craziness, I didn't get much footage of the conference, but I have plenty of our time in New York!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's the vlog:

We're coming into our 10th and final conference this week. It's my home conference, so it will be good to see family and friends from home.

Semi-enjoying the homelike feel of DC traffic,
Jessica

OH...IO!

Hey friends!

Ohio was a great conference. The thing I enjoyed most was a super responsive audience. I also got to hangout with Michael's 4 month old niece and see some of my very close friends who live a few hours away from the conference location.

For me, Ohio was the conference where I knew if I pushed through, I would get a new energy burst. So I had to make time for recharging, but I'm really grateful now, because it went well and now I'm feeling a lot more on top of things for NJ and MD. :)

On the east coast again!
