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

Good Monday Morning 1.31.22

Doesn’t it feel like February?  Reading blogs this weekend, there were plenty of monthly favorites and/or other monthly recap-type posts. Everyone pretty much said goodbye to January.  But with a fifth Sunday – and now a fifth Monday!! – January just seems to be lingering.  My brain is definitely in February and I will be grateful to turn the calendar tomorrow and catch up.  Until then – happy last day of January:)

No verse this morning.  I have had this second verse to an old hymn favorite on repeat in my mind.  Literally, on repeat.  My reminder, perhaps, that even winter is a reminder of His great faithfulness!   I hope it will be a blessing to you this morning…..and I hope you will come back on Wednesday.  It will be time for my monthly “Currently” post.  Until then, happy Monday.

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,

Sun, moon, and stars in the courses above

Join with all nature in manifold witness

To thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.

Good Monday Morning

    “My reminder, perhaps, that even winter is a reminder of His great faithfulness!” And on these cold January mornings, we need this reminder. Thanks, Jennifer.
