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

All the Happiest Wishes!

Happy Monday, friends!!  I interrupt Monday’s usual posting in order to acknowledge a special day – and a special birthday!  Today is my daughter’s birthday…the day that was my first day as a mama!  What an amazing day that was (as all mamas can remember!)  Seriously, I have often thought birthdays should be for us mamas:)  All the memories (and “feels”!) that are evoked on September 28th! (I’ve blogged about it before but, just in case you want a snapshot of those first blissful hours, you can check here.  You’re welcome.)  But, I suppose, I will let today simply be her day!:)

I hope sweet Emily always knows how much she is loved.  Not only by us but by her Heavenly Father as well.  And I pray that today is a special day for her!!  Happiest birthday wishes beautiful daughter –
