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

Three Things You Didn’t Know

Posted on By jennifer

Today I am “blog hopping”…what fun! And the theme is three things you might not know about me – and, yes, a couple I don’t even understand myself!

ONE….I faint at the sight of blood. Actually, I faint at just about any situation that might involve blood even if I haven’t actually seen the blood. I have passed out while visiting family members in the hospital. I have passed out in recovery rooms when my children were depending on me (not good!) I have even passed out when I was the patient. And, yes, I volunteer – AT THE HOSPITAL – every week! So far, no passing out!!
TWO….I once attended the Daytona 500! Do I have one iota’s interest in cars? racing? or cars that are racing?? No. Why did I go to the Daytona 500?? I have no idea. I’m not kidding – after about the tenth lap, I asked the person next to me, “Exactly, how many times do they have to go around this track?” Um…..the Daytona 500….500!!! Are. you. kidding. me!! Torturous does not begin to described that day for me!

THREE….(this one I may have mentioned before..) but there was a time when I seriously – SERIOUSLY – wanted to be a dairy farmer. Anyone who knows me even a little bit is seriously scratching their head right now – even I am. Oh, I love cows alright…its the whole farmin’ thing that I cannot even imagine myself doing. But I promise you, I begged God to send me a dairy farmer and make me his wife! We can only be thankful that sometimes God answers our prayers with a NO!

And now, a word from our sponsors………..
