Now you can read : 7 random things about the infamous Jess
1. When I was thirteen I drove to Wisconsin with my Parents, Brother and Grandpa and had lunch with someone I had met in an online pool room. Creepy now that I look back on it. The kid was my age, he also brought his Mom, and sister (in fear that I was an online predator). Luckily neither one of us was.
It was the weirdest thing ever... almost.
2. I went to Ukraine when I was 16 on a mission trip, while I was there a Ukrainian Pastor tried to marry me off to his youngest son. The son prepared a whole entire meal, very impressive one, yes, in my personal opinion, not for my mission team, but for me. Very scary... but cute. I was betrothed to Judah at the time, so my heart belonged back in the States, not with a Ukrainian PK.
3. When I was really little, I was intrigued that men could stand up and urinate, I didn't understand why of course. I wondered why I had never tried it, seemed like it would be easier. I pulled the seat up, faced the toilet and spread my legs so I could stand over the toilet.
I FAILED! and urinated all over my legs. Learned my lesson that taking a seat on the porcelain bowl is much easier.
4. I could eat pizza every day of my life, especially if it had fresh mushrooms on it. Love them mushrooms.
5. Growing up I wanted to marry a famous rockstar, and then I wanted to become a nun, because I realized that would never be a reality. Then one day I met Judah my husband, and was immediately swept away by his hottness. Forget rockstar, Judah is a freaking model.
(actually, the reason why I married Judah is because he was the only man I had ever met who was handsome, kind, Godly, did I mention hott and was waiting for his spouse, just like I was, we have dated and kissed no one else but each other.)
6. I want to live on a tour bus, play shows 300 days out of the year, raise a family in the process.
My heart, yearns for the road. Yearns to share my music. Yearns to bring hope through my music.
7. Before I was thirteen, the church I attended at the time, the pastor left the church. He and his wife were the worship leaders also. They felt that I was the person to become the worship leader of the church with no pastor. I knew nothing about it, other than I loved to sing. I really couldn't even play much music.
I was so terrified of leading a congregation into worship that I would put two artificial trees in front of the piano I played. I didn't want anyone to see me, if they did I couldn't lead.
Every few weeks people would pull the trees apart, just a little bit until eventually I was able to lead worship without them. Ever since then, leading worship is something that I have always done.
