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

Monday Morning Request

Posted on By jennifer

It has been a beautiful morning already this Monday morning…and the forecasters are promising a beautiful day today. I don’t have much time this morning and today should be a long one but I wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a beautiful week – and, if you should think of me today, I’d ask that you whisper a prayer on my behalf. My heart is heavy-burdened today…particularly with five requests. Most I cannot share.

I would mention a little guy named Carter – five years old and has the same tumor, a brain stem glioma, that my Tyler had. He was admitted to the hospital late last week with pneumonia. His latest scans show a significant, and quick, growth of his tumor. Please pray for him and his family – all Christians.

I’d also mention my “senior friends”…Paul and Nellie. They have many different needs and concerns – particularly with their health but others as well. Nellie had her driver’s license taken away until her health and ability to drive could be evaluated and this loss of independence has been devastating for her. Today I take her for the first step of this evaluation process. Honestly, I do not know the best outcome for this but I pray for real wisdom as well as compassion for all those involved in this process.

My other requests are much more personal…and very heavy. We are privileged to bear one another’s burdens. And, as I am able, I will give the Lord all the glory as prayers are answered. Have a wonderful Monday – and a wonderful week, too!

  1. Oh Jennifer it is my honor to lift your requests to the Lord with you. Have a good day though it does sound like you will be quite busy. My heart is very heavy as well for that precious little 5 year old. I will pray for him every day until I hear differently. Blessings to you, Debbie

  7. Thanks for stopping by the blog and for writing your heart in this particular post. Saying a prayer for you even now and that you will be filled with the peace of Christ in this week.

    Love the new house and am so excited for your family. I hope to have a house of our own one day.
