Life Lesson #3... Willpower vs Freedom
Willpower can produce short-term change, but it creates constant internal stress because you haven’t dealt with the root cause.” ~Rick Warren
we are powerful people, we can use willpower to do pretty much anything.... but if you have to rely on willpower, there is a constant battle inside of you. (sounds stressful)...Dealing with WHY you do certian things ( turn to food for comfort, sabotage your efforts, Push people away...whatever your battle... etc) is the key to living a stress free and successful life. Asking God to show you the root of the problem and being obedient and ready to make the change... to give up that comfort that we hold so strongly to and letting truth set you free.

LIFE LESSON #2-Literally
LIFE LESSON #1- Inevitable Fail
If someone ever tells you that it is humanly impossible to do something.... Take their word for it... don't try it! Life lesson learned one night while working at IHOP (in college).. another server told me that it is impossible to eat a spoonful of cinnamon by itself. I laughed..."I eat cinnamon on things all the time... what would it matter it is by itself or not... I can do it" so I tried it.... needless to say, im pretty sure that if I am ever murdered and an autopsy is required... some CSI is going to be very confused as to why there is Cinnamon residue in my sinus cavaties....it will definetly add a level of intritgue to the case. (Until they find this blog of course) But serisously.... Take their word for it...don't be the hero... or at least sit back and watch someone else do it and fail.
About Jessica... Life Lessons Journey Begins
After 27 years of Life experience, I may not have learned all that much that applies to many of the worlds' population, but I have learned things :).....Funny things, Weird things, Deep and Shallow things, Sad things, Exciting things, completely Pointless things and some very very Valuable things.
First of all, I am a born again believer in Jesus Christ.... I am a Wife (To my best friend), a Mother of two, Daughter, Sister (of 4 siblings), Friend (of hopefully many), Full Time employee, and Musician/Song writer. I decided that I wanted to give myself a challenge to blog. Get some one my amazing and not so amazing thoughts down in writing... and lucky for you.... be able to share it with whomever feels like reading it. (Blog fit that best)
I want this Blog to be an outlet for me to reflect and share the little bit that I have learned and will continue to learn. I hope someone out there gets to take away something memorable, whatever it may be. I have made the first goal to be 50 Life Lessons from Jessica! so lets get this started eh?! (no, im not canadian. I just like saying eh!)
