The Year of Love: Letting Jesus Rewrite the Story!

Every October, Jesus is always faithful to give me a word for the next year. October 2024 I was a wreck after losing so much in my life, dealing with hope deferred. He gave me a dream. It was such a real dream I could feel the emotions in it as I was sleeping and I woke up the next morning and was like wow! That definitely was a God dream. At some point I want to share the dream but it’s not the time right now. It pierced my heart and it was so specific He even gave me a time limit.

With that dream I also got my word for 2025 which is “Love” honestly when I got that word I was like ok I’m on that MTV show back in the day called “Punked” when are the cameras going to come out and say you have just been punked! After walking through a year of hope deferred I was like no way! I think you mixed this word with another Jessica.

Throughout that time limit he gave me in the dream it was basically more preparation to walk into 2025 Love year! I lost more in that time limit but I met Jesus the sufferer through that! I got to share his heart of suffer! That opened my heart to experience more of Jesus’ love deeper! Sounds kinda silly but it’s like when you are in a relationship with someone & you share those intimate pieces of your heart with them it makes you more connected to that person. Just the fact that Jesus’ would share that part of His heart with me was beautiful.

I already met Jesus the “lover” at Bible school and I believe that's why I was at Bible School to meet Jesus the lover! I had incredible Pastor’s that opened up the layers of the Cross in such a beautiful way that all I could do was weep! The whole two years I was there I basically was on my face crying because I encountered Jesus the lover! He became SO real to me in a deeper way than I have ever encountered Him. So it a sense that’s one way why I struggled so much last year because I met Jesus the lover at Bible School so deeply and then I was walking into a year that felt loveless in a sense. It was still love just on a deeper level!

Sometimes when you are going through heartache, change your perspective because Jesus might just be sharing a piece of His heart with you!

The start of 2025 everything physically was still broken but He’s faithful to His word He let me rest for a little over a month! Rest in Him that’s love. He took this stiving mentality off of me, softened my heart. He showed me I can be used exactly as I am, and has given me opportunities to share His love.

If you are connected to this Ministry just know it’s going to be a love year! Idk what all is going to come but the word he gives me always connects to every area of my life. I didn’t share this at the beginning of year because I was resisting it!

I want to be honest I still am, I’ve been hiding in the ark with Jesus too afraid to come out and experience this word. Honestly I’ve been in my bible everyday this year, studying and reading I’ve got the bible thing down but I’ve been too afraid to journal. Journaling is where I hear the voice of God the most. I’ve been avoiding it because IDK what He’s going to speak and I don’t want to give my hopes up and walk through another year of hope deferred.

But I feel like today’s the day I pick my journal up again and face it and believe if this is a love year that I can believe He’s working everything out for my good! Just wanted to share and be honest and maybe it will encourage you to pick up a mantel that you have been scared to confront and also to fall in love with Jesus!
