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

Happy Birthday, Roo-Roo!!

UNBELIEVEABLE…can it really be one whole year that, early one morning, our daughter nudged her hubbie and whispered, “Now, don’t get excited but I think I might be in labor!?!” To which he promptly bolted out of bed! And several hours later, God introduced us to Miss Riley Jane!! At the risk of sounding old…..my goodness, time goes so fast!! But, its true…Riley – affectionately known as Miss Roo – is ONE today!!

Let’s see – she has her momma’s smile and zest for life, her daddy’s feet! and always “thinking” attitude and the the prettiest blue eyes that she must get from her Poppy!! She fills our hearts to full and overflowing with love and real joy!!
Just a few of my favorite pictures………………



Happy Birthday, Sweet Girl!! We Love You!!

  6. Delighted to meet you. Just found your blog and had to stop by as your blog title grabbed my heart. Such beauty, such joy, such love, all wrapped up in a one year old.

    I hope you don't mind, but I'll be back to splash around some more.

    Hugs from Costa Rica,
