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

Just a little something….

Happy Wednesday! Already to the middle of the week. I have so enjoyed working in the yard a bit this week – had to make a couple trips to Lowe’s and they are starting to put all the flowers out and I am itching to work on those flower beds….

Stop the Drama

I am reading through the Bible with my church this year. I love the discipline of this; however, I have to admit that reading “categorically”, as we are this year, has been a bit of a challenge for me. Each day there are several chapters to read according to the…

Longing for Great Faith

My Bible reading this morning included Matthew, chapter eight. I was struck, once again, by verse 27…”But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!” After a busy day that included healing a leper (v. 3), healing the centurion’s…

Moving On to Canaan

Ladies’ Bible study began again after the holiday break and I always look forward to it…the fellowship with friends and the new studies. (This group I attend is called “Joy in the Morning”..isn’t that a great name for Bible study?) Yesterday, I began a study by Priscilla Shirer called “One…

Hearing His Voice

I still have not come up with the catchy title for my Wednesday posts but, primarily for my own benefit, I want to have a specific time to put down some of the thoughts the Lord has given me over the past week during my devotional time. I seems the…

It's nice to meet you. I currently live in Virginia...not too far from the nation's capital. My heart longs for less traffic, less politics, less construction and a lot more hillsides dotted with cattle. And maybe a few chickens:) However, this is where God has placed me and I am blessed. In 2022, my husband retired and I turned 60 (!!) and I feel as if we entered a new season of life. Like all seasons, there are new adventures as well as new challenges, but I am looking forward to all that God has in store in the days ahead. He has always been faithful to me! I hope you will catch a glimpse of that here on my blog.
