Winds of change...

Hello, : )  I haven't blogged in a while, although I do have more poems to upload to here than this.  I've been busy w/ working, etc. and I haven't had as much time to cultivate my inner life I guess.  Lord, help me to pursue you even when it's hard because I know that you love me and it is worth it.  Amen!


Winds of change  (recent poem):

I'm at home, free at last.
Calmed I feel today,
no too big of responsibilities
on my plate.

Still many things to do,
things to figure out.
Always something on the back burner--
now literally, I'm watching the boiling chick peas.

I gotta get another job-- again.
It's frustrating, but I'm getting used to it.
I gotta get in line with how the world works.

But Lord, don't let me settle.
Let me be in love with your love and be
filled to the full.
I don't want to fall for this world, but for you.

I'm looking forward to the Fourth of July.
Things change.
As the world spins,
may I spin with You Father God,
in a perfect dance, a love that will never end.

Lord, help me to let go of my perceptions of this world.
Help me to roll with the punches and never let go of you.
I want to enjoy life and live without fear.
I love you Lord, thank you for my life.  Amen.

How are you? It's been forever! I've been thinking about you and wondering how you're doing. I hope we can get together soon!

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 where I want to bang my head agai

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 Houston Acquire the Fire, which I will get to attend.  This will be the first full Acquire the Fire that I've

God you are so good : )

God You Are So Good (poem) Dear God I thank you for this day. I thank you that you aren't far away. Thank you for your revelation and for breaking through my hard heart. Help me God, for I am gentle and lowly, broken and contrite in heart, which you will not despise. Lord, fill me with your awesome might! On my own I run out so quickly, but with you God, I could go on infinitely. I want an unbroken connection with you. Help me to humble myself and seek your truth every day. I know that you love me. Thank you for your forgiveness. You have refreshed my heart by a new revelation of your acceptance, love, and care. You are so faithful to restore me. Even when I'm faithless you are faithful. You are healing my heart and binding up my wounds. You are Restoring My Foundations. You take my sins, pain, all my iniquities, my anger, worry, fear, feelings of abandonment, the cycle of control, rebellion, and rejection, you take my loneliness, hatred, and unfor
