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

Back in March, I started a new series of posts…”Currently” – a look at a few things that would currently describe my life.  But that series didn’t really get past the first month.  So, time to revisit, and restart, that idea.  Onward and forward with the latest installment of my life, currently.

I am reading.  Still plugging along with my Mitford series.  I just finished book five but have been perplexed by book six.  In the first five books, the main characters have met, married and even moved on to a new place and new adventures.  All wonderful.  However, book six is about their marriage??  A complete repeat (recap, perhaps) of their meeting, courtship, wedding, etc.  Why?  The (very strong) rule follower within me enjoys reading books in order – especially books in a series – and this book should come between books two and three.  I will probably skip it and move one.  But there is that rule follower thing again.  Skipping books is a challenge.

I am enjoying.  Morning coffees on the patio.  This is something I look forward to with every change of seasons – especially when winter fades away and mornings begin to get warm enough to sit outside.  Then summer mornings are wonderful.  The long days, with early sunrises, have us up extra early and mornings outside are perfect….before the heat of the day is oppressive.  Often, we end our days in the same spot.  Apparently, it is our happy place:)

I have been busy.  Trying new recipes from Pinterest.  My interest in all those pins comes and goes.  Lately, I have been enjoying looking through my “old” pins.  Deleting ones that no longer interest me (funny how that happens) but especially trying some of the recipes.  There have been several places and events where I have been able to take a dish or treat lately, so that helps.  I do enjoy baking – but I have to be able to share and pass the sweets along!  There have been some really yummy ones.  And, yes, a couple “can delete that” ones:(  The best ones I have pinned under “Tested, Tried and Tasty!”

I am looking forward to…vacation time.  We typically take our vacation in the fall.  September, usually.  The weather is perfect, school is back in and our anniversary is in the middle of the month.  So, fall has become our go-to vacation time.  However, we get the itch to get away every once in a while.  Just for short trips…and a change of scenery.  And we are feeling it now.  Hopefully, we will get away in July.  Maybe even with some friends – which is always fun!  I have been planning and looking into details…which is almost as fun as the actual trip.  I hope it all comes together!  Are you going on vacation?  I would love fun ideas for trips not too terribly far from the east coast – places we can drive to in a day.

Leave a comment and let me know what you have been up to…currently!
