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

  1. I know this is a meaningful day for you with that young man of yours serving all of us today! My father and father-in-law were vets and so is my husband, so I appreciate our tribute!

  3. Hey Jennifer,

    Thanks for such a great blog… for so many creative entries!

    Thanks too for offering constant encouragement. Sorry I don't get by more often. This has been the busiest season I've ever been in!

    Praying for you today – for God to send you a sister who'll be a great sounding board for you!

    Blessings,
    Melanie

  4. Jennifer…I know today is especially meaningful for you. I do pray for that son of yours just as often as the Lord draws him to my mind. Sooo many thanks to him, and to all of you for his dedication, sacrifice, and willingness to serve this country. He is soo appreciated…May the Lord watch over him sooo carefully and bring him safely and quickly home to you… Big HUGS to you today my friend!

  6. What a beautiful tribute! Our family is also very appreciative of our miliary who are graciously serving and protecting our freedom. Special thank you to your son, we feel like we 'know' him and on this special day, may he know so many are thinking and praying for him.

    Yes, since today is a holiday and our older boys (who go to public high school and college) are off of school, the youngest and I decided not to do school either! It's been a great day!
