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

Currently.  I enjoy this monthly link-up but I missed joining the party in January.  But I can still get my “currently” thoughts into a post.  If just for the sake of remembering.  And I need all the help I can find with remembering anything these days.  I will catch the actual link-up next month – but, for now, I am currently:

RESOLVING – to bloom:)  If that makes no sense, this post about my word for the year will help!

READING – from Good to Grace by Christine Hoover.  I am really enjoying this book and am highlighting it galore, but even the good reads seem to take me sooo long to finish.  I have no idea why but I am determined to finish this one by the end of the month – and three more.  A rather ambitious goal for me but I joined a reading challenge and it is really pushing me!  (and apparently, I need the push!)

CLEANING – the basement storage area….aka the holiday dump zone.  Ugh.  Between fall decor, Thanksgiving things and all the Christmas, it happens every year.  The bins just explode and it becomes a disaster.  But I have purged, reorganized and given all the bins new labels.  Order has been restored.  A place for everything….and when everything is in its place, I am one happy girl!

CREATING – lists!  One more thing that makes this girl happy!:)  Well, for the most past. I found the cutest 30in30 printables and quickly jotted myself some goals.  I tried not to overthink it (tried!) but a couple have already proven to be a challenge.  I’ve also considered a 20 in 2020 goals list but that could be more of a challenge than I want.  Is it just me – but to-do lists (even simply goals) quickly turn super stressful when the boxes are not getting checked?

PLANNING – the decorations for next month’s Valentine’s banquet at church.  I offered and they accepted:)  Now I just need to get my act together.  I so enjoy our new church and love my church family.  I want this evening to be special.  Any suggestions?  Please share.

And let me know what you have been reading, or planning….or cleaning:)

  1. It’s fun to read what you’ve been up to, Jennifer! I have been reading the new book, Shift by Abby McDonald. It’s been a joy to see Abby’s project in my hands.
