Some verses/ thoughts lately...

Things I'm learning/need to remember lately:  

Galatians 1:10  "...If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ."

Isaiah 48:17  "I am the Lord your God who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go."

I need to remember those verses as I continue on into life.  Lord, please help me to keep my path set on you and  in relationship and in love with you first.  Please keep me in line God.  Thanks.  I know that you love me.

He makes a way where there is no way.
"No one can give you what I gave you at the cross."  --Jesus speaking assurance to me.

2 Corinthians 4:18  "So we don't look at the troubles we have right now; rather, we look forward to what we have not yet seen.  For the troubles we see will soon be over, but the joys to come will last forever."

I want to read the Qu'ran so I can say, "Actually the Qu'ran really does say that and that is bad.  I read it myself."


The Lord is there.  He is worthy of your love.           You pray.  He moves.


Hosea 13:4  "I am the Lord your God, who rescued you from your slavery in Egypt.  You have no God but me, for there is no there savior.  I took care of you in the wilderness, in that dry and thirsty land."

Your sins have brought you down.  Repent!

Hosea 14:1  "Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God, for your sins have brought you down.  Bring your petitions, and return to the Lord."


"That man is no fool who does not hold what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose."  --from The Martyr's Prayer

2 Corinthians 6:2  "...Indeed, God is ready to help you right now.  Today is the day of salvation."

"Let's run away together and never look back."  --me and God how I hope us to be.  If only I'd surrender.  Hmm.

God is powerful.              God is enough!

Becoming New...

Good evening y'all, It has been a long day, but it has gone by fast.  Sort of ironic.  I'm sitting at home trying to get some rest from this cold that's clinging to me like a crawfish...??  I know I've been at work too long when I start sounding out words in my head that I see--like the word, Th-i-n-k-ing.  Or I start saying the words that way to adults when they ask me a question. This 2016-17 school year I am a LITERACY TUTOR in AmeriCorps.  It sounds kind of fancy when you put it that way.  I spend my days working one-on-one with about 16 different students on various reading interventions.  We work on short reading passages or blending together small words.  This also includes a lot of paperwork, data entry, prep work, bribing and coaxing via small toys, candy, and cracker items.  It should involve a lot more praise than scolding, more high-fives than head-shaking, and you get the picture.  The work is often rewarding, but also ...

Hi everybody!

Hello everybody! I've never had a blog before.   I have Facebook though.  I don't really know what to do.  If other people can comment on here feel free to ask me about my life  : )   Oh, apparently you guys can comment so that's good.              So this is Jasmine Fairbanks and I am at the Teen Mania Ministry's Honor Academy in Garden Valley, Texas which a Christian leadership school/ministry internship, basically, yet it's a lot more.  It's sort of like being on a mission trip because we are working toward spreading the gospel, but we stay in one place and reach people through the phones, etc.  I call for the Minneapolis Acquire the Fire youth conference.  Our event is on Feb. 4th & 5th, which is in like 2 weeks!  I'm excited, I get to go and help!  We'll help set up the event and with registration, etc.  This weekend is also the Housto...

Today I played soccer!!!

So today was a really good day!  I went to church, played soccer, knit a little bit, read some of my Bible, worked on some stuff, etc.  Often I worry about what I have to do instead of actually taking time to enjoy life and other people, so it was really good to do that today. I need to learn to live where I'm at. I realized that w/ playing soccer and not worrying about anything for a while was the way things should be and it was really beautiful. I was kind of the goalie and I saw the others playing, carefree and running around under the big blue sky with the sun shining down on them in the warm weather. It was such evidence of a loving God.  The sunshine looked like the rays from a smiling father beaming down on his beloved children.   God is showing me that life is good, I am blessed, He is faithful, and I can trust Him.  It's always when I give me time away or follow God into doing something that I get back so much more, like the P...
