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

2026 word for the year - ANCHORED

Eyes on the Horizon

Posted on By jennifer

Since choosing “anchored” as my word for the year (back in January), I have done a monthly post on the subject.  Thinking about not only how to remain anchored and, of course, to what I need to be anchored.  Yesterday, while walking, I had some thoughts on things that anchor…

Happy Monday!   I hope everyone had a nice weekend.  It is a rainy (gentle, soft drizzly kind of rain) and very grey day here this morning.  A morning that feels like you could pull the covers over your head (just one more time) and sneak in a few extra winks. …
