And Jess–you could have said so much more about the stress of the taxes this year! I don’t know if people realize that you are very careful what you say and most of the time, they see just a bit of the pain and stress you go through. The fact that you don’t often stay at the point of stress is a real example of how to go through trials and come out on the other side whole.

Lara~ Very interesting info–I’ve known this to be true and scripture supports this too—but you said it really well. This is why meditation is so important. What we think of we do become. i’m glad you brought this up!

hey jess,
I’m taking a class called “thinking in the body and brain” and lately we’ve been talking about how the human brain has the ability to change physically just by thinking a thought. you know, if you constantly think that you are stressed, and in difficult situations you automatically say you’re stressed then… you’ll always be stressed! I’ve always known this to be true, but I didnt know that the reason is that by constantly thinking you’re stressed, the part of your brain that responds to stress literally gets bigger.

all this to say, i talked about you in class today because even though what you’re going through is very painful, i’ve only ever read about your desire to move on and your faith in your friends who love you and your faith in God and like you said today, your sense of being rescued already. i’m sure you’ve had your moments, but you dont constantly believe that you’ve been defeated and your pain will never go away. i just bragged to my class that i have a friend who is training her brain to respond to this pain with grace and beauty rather than hate and despair like so many people do.

like jason said, you’re not just still here.

Jessica – I’m so proud of the “fight” I see in you. You’re certainly alive and kicking.
