Random fact of the day:

Harvard as in Harvard University's, motto used to be "Veritas pro Christo et ecclesia" which stands for truth for Christ and his Church. Now this liberal college's motto is "Veritas" or truth.

Harvard irrates me, but at least they are not claiming what they aren't.

Calling Out!

So much to say, where to start! First things first, dad gets his kidney on March 3rd. Yippee!! Seriously people, the Lord has been provided for the Montgomery's in ways you can't imagine. Our living God is amazing.

Today I had the privilege of eating with Tony Byrd and his family. This is dad's kidney donor. He and his wife Jenny, and his daughter, Mattie also came to church with dad and mom. Steve, my papa-in-law, aka also my Pastor announced who Tony was. The church erupted into claps! It was wonderful watching a body of believers thanking Tony and the same time PRAISING are gracious GOD! A prayer answered before our eyes! It was wonderful dining with them, the entire time we had casual conversation but I was thinking how do I tell you I am eternally grateful or you are allowing my dad a chance to see and be with my future children?? Brings me to tears every time I think about this kidney transplant. Lord willing, he will be able to use that kidney for 15-20 years! Dad can finally swim again!! (He loves swimming)

Mom and dad came over tonight while my dear husband was at work (I should have been doing schoolwork and should be doing it now). I seriously have the most awesome parents, I could write volumes about my parents. We are all so excited about next week; thank you for loving and praying for us.

I soon hope to post about some recipes I have been liking, the Give Me and Answer conference and giving you updates about dad's surgery. Life is crazy right about now, don't forget to take some time and just be still, meditate on the Lord.

Till we meet again,

So Long Blues!

Hello all. Blah, what a week it has been, but when I look at this picture I always chuckle to myself. Today was my first full week back at school, got my first speeding ticket, plus I decided to be really grumpy periodically throughout the week.

Seriously, this week I complained about the cold, my ticket (I will probably always complain though), my work load, and bunch of other silly stuff. But you know what I noticed? I had also not read my bible very much, thought about Jesus very much, or was really not concerned with others... correlation... I think yes!

Maybe because I am the youngest in my family, I have a tendency to be selfish and self-centered. Everyday is a conscious effort to fight the feeling in all aspects of my life. To consider others better than myself, to love the Lord with all my heart, soul, and mind, to be a happily submissive wife, you get the point.

Today, I look outside and the sun is shining, my bible reading is sweet, Isaiah and Dad are doing well and life is good, but a life saved by Jesus Christ is always good, and I always need to remember that.

Till we meet again,

Jessie
