New Blog and My Life Right Now

I know it has been a long time since I have posted on here! Like a really long time!


I got back from New Zealand, Australia, and Tonga, and have been trying to seek the Lord on His next step for my life. I will be totally honest and say I still have no idea what I am supposed to do and what His will is but I am taking one day at a time.


When I first returned to the US I had major culture shock. It was so weird adjusting and I had some major meltdowns. The day I flew in I went to Target to pick up some essentials (shampoo, toothpaste...). I stood in front of the toothpaste for 20 minutes trying to figure out what kind to get (there are so many options.)

The following days had more moments of being overwhelmed and a few meltdowns because I simply didn't know what to do next.

When I first got back I decided i was going to fast from leading worship and playing my guitar to just seek the Lord and His will for me for 40 days. It went great and I feel more in love with the Lord and excited for my next opportunity to lead worship.

I came to Spokane to visit my sister for Thanksgiving, which was amazing. I was supposed to stay until December 8th but because of some family stuff, I am still here!


Spokane is beautiful and very cold. I wish I owned more real winter clothes! I have seen the Lord's hand moving so much in my life the last few weeks. I have come to see that this is the reason the Lord did not allow me to stay in New Zealand and that reason that I came to Spokane when I did. I have no idea how long I am staying but praying the Lord would open doors for me to be used here while I am.




I will hopefully be posting pictures and a video from our Tonga trip soon (just waiting on pictures from another team member!) Other than the Tonga pictures I will be moving my blog to jessynelson.wordpress.com for all future posts. I figured since I am not in New Zealand any more I should probably use a different Blog :) Like this one you can follow it by email as well just type your email into the follow thing on the right!

Please continue to pray for the Lord's leading in my life! I am completely surrendered to His will.
