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

Twenty-four Years….and counting!

Posted on By jennifer

That’s right – 24 years ago, today, my sweet dad walked me down an outdoor aisle made of crushed shells…to join the handsome (albiet skinny) man that he – and my mother – would give me away to!! It was an absolutely gorgeous day for our outside wedding in the garden of a historical plantation not far from my parent’s home. The grounds were beautiful and the fall mums were already in full bloom. The site runs along a busy road on one side – and I remember the cars honking to celebrate us as they drove by….so fun!

Honestly, the day was just about perfect. I guess the only small “snafu” would be that the cake table, although under the canopy, was placed a bit too close to the edge and the backside of the cake was in the sun. When we walked around back for the cutting…well, it was melted. Still yummy, though!

Fast forward twenty-four years……….we are spending the day together in Leesburg, a historic town not too far from home. It is supposed to be another beautiful weather day and we are still excited to be together!! Now – if just a few cars would honk at us while we are out walking around! 🙂

I just love this picture of my handsome daddy!! I was as proud to be on his arm as he was of me! I sure wish it wasn’t fuzzy…did I mention a scanner is on the top of my Christmas list?!?
