Who is That Sarcastic Girl?


Oh hey!


My name is Kacee Jackson. Most importantly I am a Christian. We live in a suburb of Houston where my husband is a youth pastor and I teach high school math.

So, here I am, writing a blog. Honestly, I have no idea what I am going to even do with this. I may never tell anyone...or I may put it all over Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Myspace, Xanga, AOLMessenger, and the Pony Express. 

At the time of this writing I have only told my husband that I have started this. I didn't want to tell him, but I don't think married people should keep secrets (or the Bible says that, or whatever). 

Also, I want to have at least one reader since my mom doesn’t have a computer. 

The reason I decided to start a blog is because all my friends were doing it and I have a deep-seated need to fit in.

The real reason I decided to do this is because I read a book recently by Lisa McKay entitled You can still wear cute shoes and other Great Advice from an Unlikely Pastor's Wife. Is that even how you cite a book- by underlining it like in 4th grade? Anyway, I am super confused, because I cannot find her blog, website, or anything. Maybe she has gone off the grid? If anyone knows, I would love to be updated.

I loved the book. Pastor wives are the only ones who can understand our kind, and that’s all I can really say about that. I am sure I will write way more about my life as a preacher's wife, but let me end my first venture into the blogosphere with one of my favorite lines from the book. 

 Before it is read, please understand that I love my husband and my life, but the key idea here is that I had no idea what I was getting myself into three years ago.

"I realize each of our inductions into a life of ministry was met with different levels of enthusiasm. It's not every woman who looks forward to low salaries and high expectations. "
So, that’s that.

Well, This is Happening

Well guys, I have some news. Let's rewind a year so we can start at the beginning.  Last summer Kyle and I started talking seriously about his next steps in ministry. At the time, he had been at our church, Heritage Park, for twelve years as the student pastor (now 13). We love our church and it hurts to think about leaving. However, Kyle was feeling like he was being called to lead the church in a different role than he currently had.  He has always been interested in planting a church from Heritage Park. Our church has always talked about planting, but there has never been a plan as to when that would happen. Also, I had zero interest in planting a church. Admittedly, I didn't know much about church planting, but what I did know was intimidating. There is the uncertainty of salary and you don't have a full staff. So, Kyle would be responsible for basically everything. Honestly, church planting seemed like a lot of work that was all out of my comfort zone...

2018- A Year in Review

Image
Multiple people have asked me why I haven't written a blogpost lately. Well, it seems I mostly write when the bottom falls out of our lives. Fortunately, I am happy to report that all is going well in the Jackson house. Since it is the end of a year and the beginning of a new one, I figured I would do a year in review. In January we went on a cruise with three other couples and had a blast. We were supposed to actually go on this cruise in 2017, but Harvey messed that up. We went to Cozumel, Jamaica, and Grand Cayman. It was so good to get away with our friends and relax with them. In February we celebrated Rowan's first birthday. It was a great day with a lot of our friends and family there to celebrate. Rowan had a little cold, and was pretty confused most of the time as to what was going on, as evidenced by the face she is making while we sang to her. March 7, 2018 we officially adopted Rowan into our family. It was such an exciting and emotional day....

Round Two

Well, well, well. Where do I even begin? Since I last wrote, we have become re-certified as foster parents. On Kyle's birthday I received a call from our agency saying we were official. The guy from our agency said he wanted to explain a couple of things to make sure we were on the same page, and then he wanted to ask me a question. Um...okay? The first thing he talked about was emergency placements. This is the way Mark came into our home. This is when a child comes into care initially or needs to move foster homes for whatever reason, and what most people think about when they think of foster care.  The other thing he wanted to talk to me about was  their foster-to-adopt program and what are called legal-risk broadcasts. This is when the judge is going to terminate the parent's rights (TPR), so they order a legal-risk broadcast. The CPS worker will then send out the child's profile to all the agencies in the state. Each agency can submit up to two home studies to be...
