HI, My name is Nicole Jackovich. Thank you so much for blessing me by visiting my website! God truly desires to redeem us, renew us and refresh us daily.  He has such amazing plans for our lives and all we have to do is take our sticky fingers off every situation and allow our heavenly Father to handle them for us.

 

By age 2, I was laying hands on people to pray over them. If you just uttered the words, “I have a headache”, I was in your face, saggy diaper and all slapping hands on your forehead and praying “Be Healed in the Name of Jesus!”. To this day, praying for people remains my favorite thing to do! I also started singing in churches at age 5 and continued throughout my young adult life. I would love to tell you that I followed God's perfect plan for my life, but at age 16 my life went a little wayward. I found out that my deceased father, whom I thought died in a car crash, had actually taken his own life by gunshot. A lot of things that I felt were strong foundations in my life at that time quickly turned to quick sand. I started to battle depression, anxiety, and out of control behavior that took my mind off of God. Instead of turning everything over to my loving Father, I allowed my circumstances to distract me and began looking for a way to escape my emotional pain. Part of that escape, was leaving my hometown.

 

After all…. I would consistently tell my friends in my small hometown,

”THERE HAS TO BE MORE THAN THIS!”

 

I ventured out to Nashville, Tennessee and immediately began working in Property Management at a High-Rise in downtown Nashville. I had no idea downtown Nashville was about to explode in big way! This experience was a far cry from living in the modest home I grew up in, living in a small town, working jobs that barely covered my bills. Now I was living next door to Titans Players, Country Music Stars, Producers, and other elite business people. My time in Nashville consisted of hanging out on stage at “The Grand Ole Opry “ while meeting singers I grew up listening to, eating at fancy restaurants where the meals cost more than I used to make.  My past hurts were getting concealed by the day.

 

I mean, nothing like a better lifestyle to make you forget your teenage hurts and young adult failures! Turns out there was more. So why stop there? Why not try a larger city like L.A.?  I mean more is better, right?

 

I ventured out to L.A. where I would live for a couple years. I worked as an Associate Producer on a TV show that brought me in closer contact with famous people while making more money.

 

I never thought a girl who grew up in a small town, in a humble environment, would have such a luxurious lifestyle.  If fancy trips, money, and titles were so wonderful…why was I so miserable? Turns out chasing relationships and worldly treasures are NOT how we find happiness, nor do they erase prior hurts but instead they accumulated more hurts and more soul wounds. God began to speak to me about leaving L.A. and returning back to my hometown, not just to my family but to my Godly roots.

 

I left L.A. and moved in with my favorite roomie…Granny Goose-cal. For 3 1/2 years, I lived with my God-fearing Granny, in her cute but modest mobile home. The same statement I shouted to everyone over a decade ago while plotting my escape from my hometown…”THERE HAS TO BE MORE”, was the exact statement I quietly spoke as I knelt down and cried on my bedroom floor.

 

I began to realize there was so much more God wanted for me, but I had been seeking all the wrong things and people. God sent his precious and only Son, Jesus Christ, to shed his blood for my sins. The same resurrection spirit that raised Jesus up from the grave was living in me, and I began to realize that God had an amazing plan and purpose for my life!

 

It took me several moves, divorce, and an ocean filled with tears later before I truly surrendered my whole self to Jesus. I asked Jesus to forgive me for all of my sins and to heal me from all of my soul wounds. I prayed for God to have his way in my life. After this prayer, I immediately felt and experienced total change and transformation in my life!

What a change when I allowed the Holy Spirit to guide me and truly come alive in me. Now married to the Godly man of my dreams, enjoying the inheritance of two precious girls, waking up daily, doing life with my creator as He continuously floods my soul with songs of praise, countless testimonies and God driven blogs, I finally understand that there is more, MUCH more!

 

 Isaiah 43:18-19

 “Forget the former things;

    Do not dwell on the past.

See, I am doing a new thing!

    Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?

I am making a way in the wilderness

    And streams in the wasteland.

 

My prayer for you is that if you have drifted away from your heavenly Father and are searching for something OR someone to fill your void, that you would return home to your Father’s house. He is waiting for you!

 

Or maybe you don’t know Jesus at all, but there is a constant emptiness that drains your soul and you’re exhausted searching everywhere to find happiness. I pray you call off the Search and let God Rescue you!  Your heavenly Father wants to wrap his arms around you, hold you tight and assure you that everything is going to be okay.  You can stop running, and fighting your way through life and come join the “Life with Jesus is the Sweetest Club.”

 

Love and Blessings,

Nicole
