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

Six Things I No Longer Do

Posted on By jennifer

Some things I just don’t do anymore.  I can’t really blame it on the heat…although, lately, I have been blaming just about everything on the heat.  I cannot even really blame anyone or anything, in partiuclar.  If anything, I think it is a new season of life.  Things changes.  I…

I Do But I Do Not

Posted on By jennifer

Happy Monday!!  And a glorious day it promises to be.  Goodness, we spent much of last week like Snoopy there on the side bar (yes, lately I have a bit of soft spot for Snooopy.  Please indulge me) but this week’s forecast is a return of spring.  I am ready…

A Bucket List

Posted on By jennifer

Autumn has officially set it.  As in, the mornings are super chilly.  We have not turned the heat on yet but that is simply because I live in denial for weeks.  As the weather typically does this time of year, the days quickly warm up to a beautiful temperature and…

My Fall Bucket List

Posted on By jennifer

Oh, but I hope it has been as lovely of a week, thus far, for you as we have had here in Virginia.  The autumn weather has been especially beautiful lately.  The mornings are brisk (you might even say chilly) but the temperatures warm up so nicely throughout the day…

Three Things in June

Posted on By jennifer

This is my third “three things” list.  Does that make it an official “monthly” post?  Well, I’m not sure…but I thought I would, at least, log another one this month.  I am behind on responding to comments.  Sorry about that but I did mention I thought a tough week was…

Three Things in May

Posted on By jennifer

Skipping an intro today…and jumping right into my second “installment” of a three things list!  Nothing deep (although I do have several posts – with actual thoughts and even a bit of opinion – stirring in my brain) but, for today, just a break in the middle of the week. …
