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

Hello Friends

Posted on By jennifer

Just a quick post –

** to say thank you to so many sweet friends for the texts, cards and the comments….that so encouraged my heart and made me feel hugged and Tyler loved yesterday! Your friendships mean more to me than you know!

** to let you know that Jordan is here! Oh sure – he called on Thursday evening and said, “Mom, I have good news and bad news!” Jordan, don’t do this to me! He was not able to leave until Friday evening (as opposed to first thing in the morning!) but he still arrived and it was a wonderful day for me:)

** to try and express what a mix of emotions these last couple days have been –
*we have been thrilled to be with one son – all while so missing our other son
*we have laughed and joked – and cried and grieved
*we have shared great memories of our Tyler as if he were so close – and, yet, we are so keenly aware of his absence

** to let you know I am working on uploading some pictures. I am really bad at this whole photographer thing…mainly, because I always forget the camera! But there are pictures on others’ cameras and I am working on getting those – hope to share some tomorrow! Thank you again for all the comments. Happy Monday!
