Hi....I'm Jennifer and welcome to my blog. I'm so glad you stopped by. I hope whatever you read will be encouraging and that you will visit again soon. Feel free to leave a comment - even if just a "hello." My blogging friendships are a tremendous blessing to me!

It's nice to meet you. I currently live in Virginia...not too far from the nation's capital. My heart longs for less traffic, less politics, less construction and a lot more hillsides dotted with cattle. And maybe a few chickens:) However, this is where God has placed me and I am blessed. In 2022, my husband retired and I turned 60 (!!) and I feel as if we entered a new season of life. Like all seasons, there are new adventures as well as new challenges, but I am looking forward to all that God has in store in the days ahead. He has always been faithful to me! I hope you will catch a glimpse of that here on my blog.

I'm also on Pinterest. It's the only social media platform I use but is definitely a quick glimpse as to what is on my mind! I would love for you to follow me there as well.
