Joy Unspeakable

So, we last left you with us being just friends. So how did we get from being friends to where (not exactly telling ALL of where, "where" is *wink*) we are now?

I found out that Levi was going to be in MN holding a revival. With my flight benefits it made it really easy to jot down there. Besides....I kinda...OK.... ALOT liked him.

At the revival though it was a little uncomfortable....at least for me. I liked him and therefore I had a REALLY hard time talking to him. Which by the way, I am NEVER like that!! I could careless about men in general, so my reaction to him was new to me. It also was a little weird for me because I new there were "sparks" which scared me!! I wanted to pull back many times, but I felt like God wanted me to keep with it. It's hard sometimes to open yourself up completely to someone...there is always that possibility of getting hurt. I quickly learned though that if I were to open up with anyone Levi would be the one. He's so soft hearted and he would NEVER hurt me intentionly. He's naturally good man, and makes it known that he loves God, and therefore I trusted him pretty quickly. It also, didn't hurt that God seemed to help me whole lot with it!!! It just felt right!!!

We didn't talk a whole bunch at the revival, but had just enough time to know that something was there. After the revival though was a different story. We called and text ALL the time!! I went to never having my phone on me or charged to having it permanently attached to me!!! lol =)


I had had plans to go to Greece at the end of this month, but my PFD from living in Alaska had yet to come. There was NO way I could afford going with out it. Then a few friends of mine were going to to Maui for a few days. I could have gone with....but I had all those days off and the only thing I REALLY wanted was to see LEVI!!!!!!

Sooooooooo, that's where I am now....in VA. I came up last Thursday and I am leaving tomorrow early morning. I try not to think about too much. It's so natural to be with him and I'm going to miss him terribly......

I know Levi is a miracle from God I hope I never forget that, or take it for granted!!!!!!

I'm sure Levi will have his own side of the story.....he'll post later. =)

How We Met


So, when Sis. Wilson was in Alaska in the spring of 07 for Ladies Retreat she mentioned levi to me. She must of mentioned me to Levi....because so there after I got an email from him. This is where it got weird for Levi.

Levi's Story; Okay, so I started emailing Jessa after Sis. Wilson told me about her. I thought things were going good. I would email her and ask questions about her and she would reply and ask her own questions for me.. Sounds normal...right??? But it didn't go "normal". You see Jessa all of a sudden stopped emailing me!!! Yes that's right one day she was emailing and the next she wasn't! Left me there hanging not knowing what to think....well like anyone would think, I definitely thought. I was UGLY! Yep she thought I was ugly. What else could she have thought,... what would you have thought if you were in my place? So not knowing why she didn't want to email anymore I couldn't keep emailing her... so I stopped too:(


Jessa's Story: Okay...SOOOOOO I didn't think he was UGLY!!! I just wasn't ready for anything!! You know....it was either going to go further or just end....so me being me ,instead of confronting it, and telling him I wasn't ready for anything. I just figured... I'd drop of the face of the planet! I admit I just left him hanging.....poor guy.



The Assembly year 2008:


What Jessa Was Thinking: I wasn't able to go to the Assembly the year before because of my new job. So, I didn't see Levi at all until this past Assembly. I gotta say........he was WAY handsome just like his pictures. I wanted to talk to him I did!! But it was a little weird, because for the past year I was no where to be found. I did however keep my eye out for him the whole Assembly waiting for a good time to talk to him. It just never came.....


What Levi Was Thinking; Weird? Yep it was weird alright! I would have loved for to come to me and start a conversation, but I wasn't going to start a conversation with her! After all, I'm still thinking that she thinks I'm ugly! But I have to admit that I would look her way ALOT! I was sitting for most of the Assembly behind her toward the back, so since she sat most of the time in the front middle section I could see her most of the time:) .... When I went home from the Assembly, boy did I get shocked.......!!!!!!


What Jessa Did: Well, Since I couldn't get up the courage just to go up and talk to him, and a good time didn't really open up easily for me......well.....even after the Assembly I thought it was really important that I talk to him....and maybe get to know him more. So, I emailed him. Which was a big deal for me, because I felt like I was chasing him!!! =) I felt like it was the right thing to do though. Anyhow, so I just emailed a general "Hows it goin??" " I saw you at the Assembly...." email.


What Levi Did; A email from Jessa Nowling in my inbox!!! Okay... I'm alittle surprised here don't you think I'm UGLY? Well it was just a general email but maybe she didn't think I was ugly, at least ways in person. Does that mean in a picture I'm ugly? I still was confused..bewildered...in the dark... What does this girl think of me? Well I figured no harm in emailing a email back as friends...............

SOoooooooo, i bet everyone would like to know the details....buuuuuut levi is definitely the mean one!!! He said not to give the details just to see what kind of comments we'd get.lol =)

P.S. Details and more pictures to follow....... ;)

Winter is officially here!

I don't think I'm ready for it yet! The thought of scraping of my car every night after work does not appeal to me at all. I would LOVE to get a new car, with a remote starter!! The likely hood of that happening this year is slim to none. =) In Alaska though a remote starter it's a good investment!

Anyhow, hope everyone is well!

Please pray for me.....I got a cold right after coming back from MN. It won't go away! My friends at work are telling me it's mutating that I look worse every day. I had a good laugh over that, I have such nice friends. =) I really am miserable. If you would please say prayer for me.

I've searched for the soundtrack to "The River" by Meredith Andrews. What a good song! She has other sound tracks out, but not that one. So sad. That's the song in the video. I'm not sure if there is a way to fit the whole thing in that spot..... it kinda got cut off a bit. However, the point still gets across. The video starts off kinda slow, but if you listen to words and watch the whole thing it's moving. At least it was for me....
