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

Only a Few More Hours to Wait

Posted on By jennifer

I spent the day putting fresh sheets on his bed and plumping the pillows….making menus of all his favorite meals…and shopping for sugar cereal (lots of milk!), bagel bites and other snacks and those silly expensive all-natural smoothy drinks!!! Oh, I also ordered some balloons from the party store (to be picked up tomorrow) – and then I texted him for the zillionth time…just checking!!

WHY??? Because my handsome, newly graduated Airman is coming home!!! Tomorrow!! He gets a ten day break before heading to his first duty station – in Florida 🙂 – and to say that I will not be able to sleep tonight is just about right on….

I can’t wait!!

  7. Hi Jennifer,
    So excited for you. I know what that feels like to have your son away a long time and then coming home, it is the best and most exciting feeling in the world.
    It is so fun to prepare for them, and it is hard to wait for their arrival, but it is so joyous when they finally do arrive.
    Have the best time!! Enjoy ever minute!
    Blessings, Nellie
