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

I’m Not Hiding

Posted on By jennifer

Hello blog friends!  Yes, I have been absent but, no, I am not hiding. Oh but I have missed blogging and have especially missed blog visiting.  I was not able to post after my cruise as I only had about 24 hours to unpack, do laundry and then repack and head to North Carolina.  I am with my friend for about 10 days.  She had surgery this morning.  We are home now and she is, well, sleeping of course so I thought I would post quickly to say hello.  I hope to join the Wednesday Hodge Podge tomorrow and, later this week, work on a post with some of my cruise photos.  The week ahead looks to be quiet and very low-key.  I look forward to extra time at the computer.  I hope this finds everyone doing well and enjoying all the fun of summer!!  Hope to be back on some type of blogging schedule soon!

  3. I am glad you are able to be with your friend following surgery and help out for a few days. Praying for a full healing! I look forward to seeing your cruise pictures.

  4. Yep, this is the season for traveling, packing and unpacking, opening our doors and our hearts. We’ll all be here when you return, friend.

    This is what June looks like.

  5. Okay…so I just commented on today’s post…should have read here first. You are still with your friend. I’m so glad that you are able to be there with her, Jennifer. I’m sure it means a great deal to her to have you there…and as I’ve told you before…you are the perfect one to be there because you understand.

  7. My schedule has been busier, too. I am grateful to finally have a chance to catch up on some of your posts. Enjoy these moments! You will have much to share when your writing time returns.
