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

Grateful in the Weary Days

Posted on By jennifer

Another Friday gone and another FMF missed.  Disappointing.  I enjoy the challenge of the FMF prompts and I enjoy the community of FMF.  I really enjoy blogging, actually, and do not like to miss posting.  But life.  Or, life with the flu.  This struggle with the flu has been going on for…

Posted on By jennifer

Certainly one of the goals of this blog is to intentionally remember God’s goodness.  How easy it is to get caught in the routine of life and, before you know it, another week has gone by – or, just as quickly, an entire month comes to an end.  I believe,…
