Jessica's Twisted Moments
This work is the first of many to come. It contains events in my life made of a little of this--and a little of that--and mostly me. Also it is in part fictional. It is derived from a true story. I thank God for giving me an open heart to let in forgiveness. Forgiveness is saying "I will forgive you especially when I am asked to do so." Not being able to forgive brings unnecessary grief upon others as well as on each other. I no longer see you as an adversary or a rival. I love you even if you cannot love me back. So here's to love and a better life. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.
