Candy Recession.

Happy Halloween....Not really.
Walking down the streets of our neighborhood, taking my little brother out trick or treating was really not treat at all. In fact it was literally no treat at all. Out of the several homes we passed, I would say only about 5 had their light on ready to give candy out. So in the spirit of getting free candy, we drove onto my grandparent's neighborhood that has pretty nice homes and all lined up next to each other. The neighborhood was huge so we figured it was an easy access sort of trip... Apparently everyone else in town thought so too.
As we reached the entrance of the neighborhood, we immediately saw several roads filled with cars parking near the sidewalks. It was actually quite overwhelming. Still determined, we parked the car in my grandparent's home and headed out to search for goodies.
I recall seeing at least 30 little kids all holding their bags out in front of the first house we met as we walked down the street. To our left, 3 mobs of 15 people. To our right, 5 house lights all shutting off signifying the end of their candy stock.
We walked around for just about 5 more minutes and went straight home knowing the hopeless attempts would become failures if we went on further.
Halloween was not good, but it really isn't supposed to be good anyway. Pagan holidays aren't my thing. God is my thing. So maybe it was a lesson well taught?

Miners in Chile.

Imagine spending 69 days trapped in a place of darkness not knowing whether you'll make it through those day. Not knowing if you'll make it another day. Not knowing whether you'll ever get to see the light of day again. Now open your eyes. Now look in the mirror. You are there already.
Just like the 33 miners in Chile that hit the news stations all over the world. They too were trapped in pure darkness. Not knowing whether they'd live.
How are we any different.
What makes you think that you are not trapped in a hole of pure darkness?
What makes you think you're in a better position then those miners were in while trapped?
Some people spend their lives living in a hole of hopelessness and fear. They live in a pit of darkness that makes them question the days left they have on this earth. This pit may be a hole of the sins you may have committed. It may be a hole of lies you've told. A hole of people you hurt, or a hole of those you haven't forgiven. Whatever the circumstance that brought you to this darkness, there's still hope.
I apply this incident to the readers of this blog, but what makes me so special that I need not to apply it to myself?
His name is Jesus.
Why do I, Jessica Guerrero, not find myself in a black hole? Because I was saved long long ago.
I was rescued from that caved in mine. I was pulled out from the depths of the ground. I was cleansed and given life. Eternal life. Yeah, sometimes there's those days when we wish to return to that hole. We wish to return to the wrong that put us there in the first place. But thats where we stand firm. That's where we can rely on God.
The miners too were very fortunate to have been rescued from that hole a couple days ago. But what made the story truly touching for me was the fact that they chose to be saved by Jesus whom died on the cross for our sins. They cared for their souls to be saved first, rather than their carnal bodies.
And that made the ultimate difference.

God is so good all the time.

Oh no! Adulthood.

Am I at that age where people start turning into an adult? eww.
I go to college and there are people who are married, engaged or divorced.
I'm 19, yet there is a long list of fellow classmates aged 18 that are currently engaged. hmm..I just got my first boyfriend 2 weeks ago and I'm 19. Perhaps I'm slightly behind on the trend, but I wouldn't hope so. I actually prefer it this way. How immature am I still. Very, apparently. Therefore I dare not push myself into this engaged trend.
There's this dude that got divorced at 19. I don't even wanna know the whole story. I feel like that was a clear road for anyone to have seen if they had gotten married at such an early age.
Like that show "Engaged and Underage" on MTV.
Wow. Weird. I sign onto Facebook and perhaps its the weather, but I've been seeing an awful lot of "in a relationship" statuses. And I proudly include myself in that group. :)
BUT, then I begin to see "engaged to ____" and then I'm like..."WOAH...aren't they younger than me?...didnt they graduate like last year...didnt they JUST hit puberty. haha".
Life slaps you in the face. I just wish it were that "hey (*slaps lightly in the cheek*)..wake up...wake up." sort or wake-up call, Not the "HEY ITS LIFE. YOU SUCK and TOO BAD if you're not prepared!! (*punches in the face*)".
Yes well the Rolling Stones always seem to be right in some odd way. "You cant always get what you want!".
PEACE!

My Love.

Well its been a while since my last post.
I suppose I haven't had the desire to write due to my lack in seen increase of followers. No worries though. Not much has truly happened.
But one thing has definitely been the biggest thus far. My boyfriend. :)
If only that smiley could be put in real life and if only you could see my face now.
Yes, its that awesome. He makes me feel that 'Yay'! :)
God speaks truth when He says patience is one of the fruits of the spirit.
I've waited quite the while for a guy that I can settle to call my boyfriend. Ive waited 19 years. And this October the 1st has allowed me to break that chain for once.
He is my boyfriend. He's awesome.
I don't know how long this relationship will last and I don't know what will become of it, but this much I know to be true: He was worth the patience of having a boyfriend. He makes my smiles more meaningful.
I'm finding myself playing music in my room and dancing alone like a crazy child.
Its fabulous!
I pray for the best. :)
