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.

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...
