&lt;p&gt;After not writing for what feels like a year, but I am sure it has only been about 8 months, I decided today would be a good day to write and show the world a little bit of what Jessica Freeman is going through and hopefully it helps you in your daily walk, your daily steps, your daily jumps, and your very huge leaps in life. &lt;strong&gt;Twenty-Twelve&lt;/strong&gt; has been a year of so many decisions, transitions, friendships, love, loss, rejection, and so much more. Let&amp;#8217;s just say every year has its ups and downs and this one has so many of both, but so much learning in the process.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The older I get the more I strive and yearn to know more about Jesus and the more I question things about Him. Especially in &lt;strong&gt;Twenty-Twelve&lt;/strong&gt;. I long for Him to show up, sometimes I even ask if He can just show Himself to me, but then I remember I would probably pee myself and so I think He is smart and knows what He is doing. There are other times when He is so tangible and I know He is there. When I feel like He is far I feel as if His or my distance draws me closer in a sense. In &lt;strong&gt;Twenty-Twelve &lt;/strong&gt;I have seen so many of my insecurities, so many places where I am not confident and things that if I don&amp;#8217;t come to the Savior and be completely transparent I will never break the chains that need to be broken within my own life. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This post is random, but to me it is an encouragement. Everyone goes through transitions, decisions, new places, old places and no matter what God walks with you through them all. He walks with you out the doors that are being closed and through the doors that are being opened and that is just beautiful.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Someone once told me:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just because you don&amp;#8217;t know why you are at the place you are at, does not mean you aren&amp;#8217;t supposed to be there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;today, try and trust Him. There is only one &lt;strong&gt;Twenty-Twelve&lt;/strong&gt;. Don&amp;#8217;t waste it :)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://the-homecoming.tumblr.com/post/25887194976</link><guid>http://the-homecoming.tumblr.com/post/25887194976</guid><pubDate>Mon, 25 Jun 2012 19:40:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwcbdaY7x61r2ztp0o1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://the-homecoming.tumblr.com/post/14462598254</link><guid>http://the-homecoming.tumblr.com/post/14462598254</guid><pubDate>Mon, 19 Dec 2011 12:43:52 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>:)</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvc9qidwtO1qzbvsgo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;:)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://the-homecoming.tumblr.com/post/13467699983</link><guid>http://the-homecoming.tumblr.com/post/13467699983</guid><pubDate>Mon, 28 Nov 2011 16:48:19 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Traveling Sojourner: Redefining Words and Perspectives</title><description>&lt;a href="http://travelingsojourner.tumblr.com/post/13227982905/redefining-words-and-perspectives"&gt;Traveling Sojourner: Redefining Words and Perspectives&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://travelingsojourner.tumblr.com/post/13227982905/redefining-words-and-perspectives" class="tumblr_blog"&gt;travelingsojourner&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last night when driving with one of my friends we began talking about relationships, ministry, and life. I enjoy hearing people speak because you are able to grasp their experiences and perspectives on how they approach life. As we were talking about ministry we realized our weaknesses and areas…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I have not been on here in such a long time where i just write something coming from my heart or mind. Well I am laying in my bed exhausted with my hair in a high bun, sweatpants, and a sweatshirt on wondering what all the little noises are that i hear, it kind of freaks me out. I am trying to think what I can write about, but my mind is only letting me get so far in thinking. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Tonight at church a bunch of youth kids did different talents and omygoodness it was absolutely amazing! It is crazy to see different kids that you have never talked to before get up in front of 80 to 90 people to show you a talent that you never even had a clue about. It was inspiring and made me want to go congratulate all of them just because I see the beautiful potential in each and everyone of them. I remember being in high school and having the insecurities and weaknesses that are so different then the insecurities and weaknesses I have now, but still striving for something to happen in my life. I look at these kids in my life, and to be honest i cant really call them kids because I feel like I am still a kid sometimes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I strive for them to know the goodness of God. I want them to see the Savior. I strive for these high schoolers to know the One who is kind, funny, compassionate, strong, and many more. :) I believe He is showing Himself to them, but I can only hope that they continue to stay on that path because in the end its a beautiful outcome even though during those times on this road it is rough and dirty, it ends in beauty and that is an amazing concept.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;** Random (:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, when you are weak, He is strong.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://the-homecoming.tumblr.com/post/13006108498</link><guid>http://the-homecoming.tumblr.com/post/13006108498</guid><pubDate>Sat, 19 Nov 2011 04:59:34 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>It was my favorite of the whole show....</title><description>&lt;iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6bUgtibLV6c?wmode=transparent&amp;autohide=1&amp;egm=0&amp;hd=1&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;It was my favorite of the whole show. :)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last night I went with some friends of mine to see Joe Jonas perform at the House Of Blues on Sunset. I learned a lot of things about myself, the music business and personal character. First, in order to get known in the entertainment industry you have to be proactive and take risks. You have to have tough skin and not take no for an answer, always find a way. When I was sixteen the music business meant something so different to me, it was glitz, glamour, high class and pretty much untouchable to anyone outside that inner circle. I was focusing on the fame and paparazzi, that was my motive and what drove me to get music heard to the public. I’m sure those things are true but last night there was something else that my eyes were opened to seeing so real, the industry is so fake and what they are good at doing is projecting and making something appear bigger and better than it really is. It’s not untouchable, if your persistent and fearless you can have it in your grasp and have people handing it to you, it’s all about the skill and way you do it. Networking couldn’t be a better use of a word to describe the industry it’s getting to know people, being kind and connecting beyond the music, authentically. Being in the music business is more than just your music it’s about your personal character as well. If your confident or insecure, if your outgoing or introverted, if your self-centered or focused on your fans or people, all of these characteristics show and actually drive and sell your music more than your voice does. People want to feel worthy and connected to someone especially someone who they look up to as a role model, and what better way than to personally connect with your fans. Seeing Joe up there perform on stage had no “shock factor,” I was surprised that I didn’t see him any different than myself. He was merely my peer, just like everyone else was there. &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I have lost the shock factor that I once had when it comes to celebrities or fame, and its because I have been keeping my eyes focused on the one who really deserves all glory and praise, Jesus Christ.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I am setting my standards at God’s standards and I am trusting Him with Jess&amp;Cait music and our career. I want to be humbled and see our fans as ourselves and I don’t want to feel as if I am untouchable to them, I want our fans to know that we are there to love and support them as much as they are loving and supporting us and our music. I want God’s heart to shine through Jessica’s heart and my heart. I want to see our fans look at us as something different and new within the entertainment industry. I want God to do something big and the unthinkable with Jess&amp;Cait music, I want there to be a revelation within the music business and entertainment industry. I want the stereotype of body image, pride, sexuality and insecurities to be broken within the hearts of those in the industry and those who are “outside looking in.” I want to see God’s grace and mercy conveyed in our music and in our hearts so that anyone who hears our music can be uplifted, and anyone who talks to us can know what being whole and complete really means, pointing them to the one and only who truly satisfies all desires and needs… One day :) &lt;/p&gt;

It is not something that just happens, but it takes concentration on the One who formed and built you and to look at WHO He is. It is amazing that standing before the Fathers throne can take you to His personality, renewal, power. It can take you to the impossible (well what you thought of as impossible, not him) of who Jesus Christ is and that right there shows His amazing presence :)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Learning day by day that things fade. I fade, you fade, my makeup definitely fades, my cute hair my cute clothes, they all are so materialistic that none of them can fully satisfy. My God can and I know that as a fact. He has been a provider and has been so faithful.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Knowing that no matter what I am equal to everyone… I don’t care if it is a homeless person sitting on the street… God created them just as He did us and I have no right to ignore them or treat them as if they are less then. A friend once gave me one of his art pieces and it is a picture of a homeless man… it’s an amazing piece of art… and on the back it has Matthew 25: 31-46 but this is vs. 40 “… And the King will say. ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’ I want to learn how to see a beautiful thing in every personality no matter what :)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://the-homecoming.tumblr.com/post/9827698567</link><guid>http://the-homecoming.tumblr.com/post/9827698567</guid><pubDate>Mon, 05 Sep 2011 04:22:33 -0400</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
