The Creation of Hungry Jack

Hi! As my first posting, I would love to welcome all readers to sit in and have an intimate reading within this blog. Any comments, questions, or suggestions are always welcome!

You can find more about myself on my profile to the right of the blog.

I want to start off by saying that it is a true blessing to be able to express my feelings, angers, joys, and memories here, and most of all, to share them with people who may have felt the same things.

Jack, in this blog, is mentioned as the innate being we carry that is our 'decision-maker' (please consider that Jack is a fictional name and subject, and is only used to refer our double-sided personality). When I was first creating this blog, I wanted to name it Mean Girls. Yeah, I know, a bit unoriginal, but it was simple and to the point. However, I reflected on how I was limiting my audience to possibly just teenage girls that have been surrounded by troublesome events at their school. I pondered on how this may be of an obstacle since I wanted to help so many other people know that these aren't the only troubles in life. I wanted to grow my audience. Hence, Hungry Jack came along.  Why hungry? Because we all crave things in life. We desire, we grow passionate about, and we want things in life that may be necessary or unnecessary. We are hungry FOR things. But what about being hungry for God? Simply said, but very complex to understand, I want people to know my dark times in order to enlighten them.  

This is a challenge. It can be a summer challenge, fall, winter, or springtime challenge. Just remember to take a break once in a while, kick back, and come along to this page to relax. Take in what you like, don't like, and fix it on your own, with God's help of course. It is also a challenge for me, because I tend to be lazy on my hunger-path for God. It's not an easy thing to sit there and stare at a huge book with thousands of lessons. It actually sounds very unappealing. But we can turn that around into something you may get used to doing. You may start to enjoy waking up to it, or even maybe before going to bed as your last thought of the night.

This is a blog of my daily adventures and how I tend to respond to numerous activities. It is not perfect in its means. I will fail to do many things. But with your support and guidance, I will be able to achieve so much.

It does not matter what kind of religion, race, ethnicity, or cultural group you are part of; just know that this is a free-spirited blog in which I hope, one day, you may relate to the views. This is not to change you. It is to simply plant a seed within us. I am not of any superior status. I am just like you. I have shared your questions before. I have been through extreme dark moments. But on June 30 of 2009, I was saved by someone who always cared, always looked out for me, and always loved me. Jesus.

It may sound corny to many; it used to sound corny to me. But I can't deny that I am head over heels in love with God, and that I think about him several times throughout my day. That IS what you do when you're in love, am I right?

But it's not always easy. I've neglected my beliefs and put temptation in front of me. I've gone out into the world unprepared. I've been a broken human being. Does this sound familiar to you? I want you to go outside your comfort zone and listen in on these readings...they are here to comfort you. They are reliable because they come from an actual person. Me.

And now it's just me and you.

God Bless,
Brissa
