A Short Course in War — working 2024

besed on a talk given in the 1990s which was based on a life beginning in innocence journeying through many dark pits and exploring many paths seeking to understand the “war” I felt dictated the dramas in my life — I felt like I was in some science fiction movie and eventually reached the point of total defeat . . .

–this PROJECT has been ongoing for many decades and my PURPOSE is to share what I have experienced in the hope of helping myself and others see some light on a path that often seems so dark . . . BUT I BELIEVE there is always HOPE to see some light and to explore the path, to face the “enemy” (even if it turns out it is just me), and to understand how I am drawn to choose to be where I am wounded so I can make better choices for me on the path ahead . . .
exploring the “war” can equip me to walk toward PEACE . . . a journey that can be challenging as I seek Truth that can be “uncomfortable” to face but I feel sure exploring these areas will lead me to a “battle plan” of Life as Light displaces darkness to expose and bring healing to my wounds . . . it is a process . . . it is a project . . . seeking love and light in the midst of war!

About Jeanne

a work in progress . . . God's grace has brought me through many traumas of varying intensities and I am alive today (both physically & spiritually) because of Him and His work: "For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus"-Philippians 1:6. My childhood was spent living in many places in the United States due to my family's music or ministry—The Hicks Family, made up of Olan & Barbara Hicks, my younger brothers, Clint & Chuck & me, sang in different combos (put out an album), does so no longer professionally . . . but, visit a family gathering in Searcy & you're bound to hear some foot-tapping sounds (or catch my dad & mom on the road)! I believe that every moment of each life path (the good & what I perceive as the bad) God works together for my good as His child whether I understand it or not. MUSIC and MINISTRY are still primary aspects of the path God has me walking—so exciting! Words that have encouraged me since 1980: ". . . giving them a garland instead of ashes,The oil of gladness instead of mourning,The mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting So they will be called oaks of righteousness,The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified." Isaiah 61:3
