What's your name?

   I want to share something. If it sounds a bit harsh, I apologize, but I do feel it must be said. Tell me your name. Yes, I know I can't hear you but say your name out loud. (If you say it loud enough maybe I will hear you.) Your name was probably something like Fred, Denise, Billy Bob, or some crazy cool name like Jessica. Why am I wanting to know your name? Well for two reasons: 1) I'm trying to make a point and 2) I'm trying to make some more friends I'm pretty lonely over here. Here's the point I'm trying to prove... Just like hold on to your hats because this is CRAAAZY. Ready for your mind to be blown?! Okay *ahem* Your sin is NOT your name. Whaaaaaat????!!! Crazy I know.    Okay some of you are like "Well duh, I know my name isn't Lust". But here's the thing, you may think that your physical name isn't Lust but how do you identify yourself to Christ?

We want to so badly be with the crowd and we want to feel a sense of belonging and acceptance but I think that we have forgotten we were meant to be set apart. As Christians our lives should stand out and be different. How would we reach people if our lives looked exactly like theirs? We are called to be lights in this dark world but that doesn't mean it will come easy.     Because we are living a life set apart from this world, people will try to condemn us and tear us down. The way you live your life may become a

Let's get to work..

   Hello and welcome to my blog. I've been off and on about ever starting a blog but I finally felt that I'm at a point in my life where it'd be better to fill the free time I have with writing as opposed to mindlessly scrolling through all of my social medias. So let me introduce myself. My name is Jessica Lair and I am an eighteen year old cosmetology student in Los Angeles. Actually, a more accurate title would be "Princess Jessica: Missionary to L.A.". Missionary? Eighteen? LA? Cosmetology student? Should any of those even be put in the same sentence and make any sense? Well they do and it's my life. Let me back up a bit and do some explaining.     I've been a PK (pastors kid) for seventeen years. Well technically eighteen and counting considering the fact that my dad is still out preaching and he still has his credentials.. BUT ANYWAYS... I've basically lived at church my entire life. Growing up in the church I was able to understand a lot but th
