Hello, hello!
My name is Jess Jeter, and welcome to my website!
Born in Florida, raised in South Carolina, I can never decide between bright and beachy afternoons or beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain adventures. Either way, give me sunshine’s kiss, and this smile is never going away. I am 25 years old with a serious love for laughing, writing, learning, traveling, and spending time with my very favorite people. But more than anything, I’ve no greater joy than being just Jess in this extraordinary life the Lord has blessed me to live.
It has taken me a few years to realize this, as I did not like being “Just Jess." There has never been anything fantastic to love about me or my life. Insecure, insignificant, and invisible created the trifecta of my heart. Over the years, I have met with fires that should have left me in ashes. My hopes, my dreams, my worth up in smoke. But the Lord promises that when we walk through the fire, we will not be burned.
The fires of my life have been far too furious to take another step, but that is when I have found myself at the Lord’s ever-gracious altar. My lungs collapsed, my very being burning. Yet a living sacrifice – holy and pleasing – before the One doing nothing more than refining my heart, like a diamond finding beauty among the flames.
My friends, there is something so wild in how the Lord sees you and me; how He delights in us; and what He has done for, in, and through us. Let our hearts beat boldly with a trifecta of power, purpose, and presence, humbly rooted in the kind and loving hand of Christ. I pray you discover a joy in who God has graced you to be in the extraordinary life He has blessed you to live – fire, smoke, ashes, beauty, and all.
