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

Christ Conquered Death for Me

Posted on By jennifer

We are having our spring revival at church this week.  I do not remember the revival being so close to Easter before, but I have to admit the timing has been perfect for me.  What a wonderful way to prepare for Easter…….searching my own heart, being encouraged in the word and rejoicing to see others come to Christ!  It has been a good week. Tonight, I am teaching the littlest guys in the children’s program while the service is going on.  (A bit of a bummer – although, I love teaching….tonight’s message is on prophecy which I would love to hear.) I know the children have been learning the Easter story at home, in Sunday school and even in Junior Church….so, I thought I would teach the story of Lazarus – with a few references to Christ’s resurrections…..both similarities and differences! empty_tomb_view-1024x768 photo from the internet John 11:43-44….”And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.  And he that was dead came forth…..” I Corinthians 15:3-4….”For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Crist died for our sins according to the scripture; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures” Praising the Lord, today, for victory over death!!
