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 Hello

Posted on By jennifer

Hello friends!  I hope everyone had a good weekend.  Mine started on Thursday, when our company arrived, and was going great…until I crashed late Saturday night.  I came down with the flu.  I am too old for the flu.  As in, it just completely wipes me out.  I am writing this on Sunday evening.  Trying to muster enough strength just to write and say “no real post” today.  I have so enjoyed blogging each day (M-F) and really enjoyed the extra visitors to the blog.  I did not just want to be a no-show.  But, essentially, I am a no show today.  I am determined to get a post done and ready for tomorrow.  I actually have pictures from the weekend – go me.  And a story to share.  One of those “it only happens to me” type of stories!!  I hope you come back tomorrow.  For now, I am headed right back to my bed!!

  1. Oh no, I´m so sorry to hear about you not feeling well. Rest up and get better! Hope to hear from you tomorrow!

  2. Oh no, Jennifer! I do hope you are feeling better soon. It isn’t fun being sick. Thinking of you.

  3. I’m sorry to hear you’ve been hit with the flu. I had it not long ago and it really does knock you off your feet. I pray you continue to improve and get plenty of rest and fluids.

  4. Oh, friend! That’s rough. I agree about a certain age being too old for the flu. The last time I had it, I literally laid in bed and cried. Anytime I’m achy, I just go to bed and sleep. It’s rough not having someone around to help me when I’m sick, but thankfully I am pretty healthy. I hope you feel better soon, sweet lady. Take care!
