In exactly 2 weeks from today I will be on a plane, flying to San Antonio to speak in front of nearly 25,000 people at the National Youth Gathering!!!
To be honest, when I was first approached to speak at the gathering, I thought "25,000 people... Ummm, no way- I can't do that!!" ...but the words that came out of my mouth were different than what was in my mind. My verbal response was, "It would be a great honor."
And that really is the truth about how my heart felt. It is a great honor to be able to share God's amazing work in my life with as many people as possible! I am so blessed to have this opportunity!
And so, the planning began. Over the past few months I have been brainstorming, outlining, drafting, editing and writing my speech and the videos/pictures to go along with it. Pastor Nathan Erb was an instrumental part in making this happen & Pastor Nate Peregoy, who is also an organizer for the event, has been an amazing help to me during the writing process!
I am happy to say...It is finished and memorized now!
It all seems surreal to me still, but I know as soon as I am there, it will all become very real... Very fast!!
I will be speaking at the Mass Event in the Alamodome on July 4th. The theme of the night is identity in Christ, not circumstances (how perfect, huh?! :)
It begins at 8pm and there will be a live-stream of the conference, for anyone interested in watching. As soon as I have the link for that, I will post it on here.
Please pray that God will speak through me, that I will not get nervous on stage, that God's presence is felt throughout the event, and that God will use my words to help everyone in that audience know that they are treasured, loved and His!
Thanks!
God bless!
Jessica

I am sure you will be wonderful, and hopefully it is on at a reasonable hour New Zealand time, so I can tune in.
ReplyDeleteHi Jessica!
ReplyDeleteYou know we will all be watching you from here in Pennsylvania.
God brought you to this place in your life and He will be right there with you as you speak. You are on the pathway He choose for you and one day Jessica you will be walking down it, I know. God spared you for a reason and I am beginning to see why. I am very proud of you as was your buddy, John. I know he will be with you in spirit and in your heart. As always, you will speak from your heart and it will be great. What a beautiful opportunity to reach so many young lives. God Bless You always Jess.
Love and hugs,
Rosemary

Jessica, how can I contact you, I would like you to share your story in my church.
ReplyDeleteWe are at Monterrey, Mexico.
Today I asked God to open my ears so I may listen to someone and hear that person's heart. Some minutes later I read your story. You are definitely an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI am sure there will be 25,000 open hearts in San Antonio ready to receive the message from God through you. You are blessed!
