Trading my ashes for beauty….that He might be glorified. Isaiah 61:3
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 6.27.22

Happy Monday! I say let’s bring on this last week of June and move on to July. Of course, no guarantees there…but it will be refreshing to flip the calendar page. I went ahead a put out my few July decor pieces. Just need to freshen up the front porch and I will (mentally) be in a new month:) Our weekend was rather quiet – all things considered – and I have seen God answering prayers in many ways. I am especially grateful for His tender care. It has been so clearly seen and felt. On the agenda (a word used very loosely around here) this week: add some American cheer to the front porch; replace/refresh the tired and heat-worn potted flowers out there as well; a couple of lunch dates – including a couple that had to be rescheduled last week; and make some real headway on a donation project that we are working on.
And on the meal plan this week, I have two (maybe three) new keto dinner recipes to try. I have not yet shared any of the recipes I have been having since starting keto. Most have been routine and rather uninspiring. However, I came across a keto cookbook at the library and actually found several that look interesting. If they are tasty, I will share a few. Just about any of them can be tweaked and adapted for non-keto meals….if you prefer.
As far as my memory verse challenge goes, I am supposed to be starting a new one this week but I am not solid on last week’s verse….so I will continue with it. That and I already know the one for this week. For this week:
Romans 8:15 “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba Father.”
Have a wonderful week friends. And thank you to everyone who left such kind and encouraging comments last week – especially on Friday’s post. They are all much appreciated.
I’m so glad that prayers are being answered and that a fresh month is right on the horizon! Baby steps are a wonderful thing, when they’re made in the right direction. I love adding touches of Americana to our home as well and did that last weekend. I’ll leave it up through August, then I’ll put all my fall stuff out on September the first! I know it’s early, but I love the fall so much! I hope you have a good day, friend!
Happy Monday, friend!! Did you just say “fall decor”!?!:) Here’s to a blessed week ahead!
