Jess is a wife and mum, and is by no means an expert on life, but she has taken field notes for the seasons she's walked in. Writing is her way of giving glory to God in all of the highs and lows of life.

YMI (which stands for Why Am I?), is a platform for Christian young people all over the world to ask questions about life and discover their true purpose. We are a community with different talents but the same desire to make sense of God’s life-changing word in our everyday lives.
YMI is a part of Our Daily Bread Ministries.
