Who am I? A wife for almost 40 years. A mom for over 36 years. A sister and a friend, of course. Each of these help describe me. But, even more, I have been a Christian since accepting Him as my Savior when I was 12 years old and, this truth defines each area of my life. I have enjoyed some mountain top experiences but have been through some very deep valleys as well. Valleys of incredible grief and even pits of depression. However, most of my days are ordinary, routine kind of days. But in every one of my days, God has been faithful. He has walked with me whatever the day. He strengthens, comforts, encourages and blesses me with life "most abundant."

A favorite life verse: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10

Why do I write? Though not quite as private as my dad, I am definitely my father's daughter. I find it difficult to share. And to let others in. But I do love to write. I love to put words into sentences and sentences in paragraphs that help express my thoughts. I hope my words help me share my heart. Share the life that God has given me and all that He has done for me and through me. I write with the hope of giving Him at least a bit of the glory He is due.

A verse to guide my writing: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. I Peter 1:7

A Quick Check-in and Birthday Wishes

Posted on By jennifer

Welcome to Friday!  Another week in the history books.  It has been a good week for me, although I have been a bit under the weather since Wednesday evening.  I did not feel well yesterday and did not prepare a proper post.  However, I wanted to pop on quickly this morning in order to wish my brother the happiest birthday!!  Today is his day! And I hope it knows how much he is loved and appreciated.  He truly is one of the most selfless people I know.  I’m not sure he is always appreciated for that…or for all that he does for others, especially those that he loves.  I do hope he will do something special for himself today!!  Sending you all the best birthday wishes, little brother.  Well, only brother:)  But someone I truly look up to!!

This photo is from a few birthdays back but, if San Francisco wasn’t so stinkin far from the east coast, we sure would be doing that again!  Eat cake today!!

And thanks for stopping by today, blog friends.  I hope you will come by again on Monday.  I will be going out of town next week but plan to get a post out on Monday before I go.  Have a blessed weekend!

  6. Happy birthday to your brother. I have two sisters and one brother and he’s our favorite. I hope you’re feeling better. I’ve been at less than 100% for what feels like too long, but am hoping the meds I’m on now clear everything up. Take care.
