Often times when we're growing up we see people we want to be just like.
Maybe we see a job and think oh cool I want to do that.
For me, I'm not sure it was a job as much as the spirit and heart of someone that I admired like I did Jessica.
I've anxiously been waiting to write this blog.
However, I knew in the right time it would come to me.
Before moving home I had prayed and the Lord knew I was concerned about how I would fit back in when I came home. While I've had some incredible people pouring into my life in Nashville the last 4 years, I was somewhat nervous about coming home and having someone here for me.
Jessica has been just that person.
Before I left for college, in high school I had the privilege of singing with her Sunday after Sunday as she lead our church in worship. I reveled at her ability to sing so effortlessly but even more so marveled at the God given ability to lead people into the Lord's presence.
While my relationship with the Lord had not even began to dig half as deep as it is now, it was at this place in my life that sparked the desire for me to be something like her.
The Lord gave me the desires of my heart when I made Everpraise at Trevecca. What an incredible 3 years it was singing, and having the opportunity to usher others into His presence.
All of that to say, I am thankful for the inspiration I got from Jessica and for the way the Lord has blessed with me such a great friend and mentor.
Meet my Friend Jessica
Jessica has been blessed with 3 beautiful girls, they are all so unique and what a joy to be around! She has an incredible husband who loves and supports her, and truly has a vision for what the Lord's called them to. I wanted to share this with all of you, because her story has blessed me.
While Jessica is no longer leading at a church, the Lord has given her a vision for the days ahead and it's incredible to see God's hand at work in her life as each piece of the puzzle is coming together!
Jessica's band- Jessica Aaron is an incredible group of people that only God could have brought together. I have been blessed to spend time around each of them and its evident to me that God is moving in their lives and has been preparing them for the journey ahead. She just recently went to Nashville, and boy was I jealous, to record her Album which will be coming out very soon (stay tuned, you won't want to miss this)! God has truly set the foundation for her and has brought incredible people into her path to finish out what the Lord started within her heart years ago.
I encourage you to check out her site Jessica Aaron and like their facebook page - Jessica Aaron Facebook. If you like to tweet, we've got you covered- Jessica Aaron- twitter. Trust me, you don't want to miss out on her incredible music, and most importantly her heart for the Lord.
Thank you Jessica for your heart, your ministry, and your relentless desire to follow all God has for your life. You have truly been an inspiration in my life and someone I am blessed to call friend. I am praying for you and behind you 100%. I could not be more excited for all that God has in store in the days ahead.

I could not agree with you more!!!! She has blessed my heart in so many ways and I will always be grateful! I never doubted she would be blessed because I saw the heart of a servant.
