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

A Two Second Post

Posted on By jennifer

THANKFUL THURSDAY – and why oh why do I always find myself with only five minutes on Thursday mornings? Never really time to blog but always so many reasons to give thanks! (Yes, I know I can post the night before but this requires my brain to stay awake past dinnertime and, most evenings, that is a challenge for me)! So another “quick list” of praise – and a reminder that tomorrow is Friday with Friends:)

Praising the Lord for

**my clean CT scan report this week! Following up with the doctor this afternoon – all should be smooth sailing:)

**Mocha flavored barium – ok, this is a bit of a stretch. Can one REALLY be thankful for any barium? But this new flavor was the easiest time I have ever had getting this stuff down before my scan. I suppose – it was the best of the worst.

**Ladies Bible study that has begun at my church. This one is a post in itself – but quickly…what a blessing Tuesday morning was to my heart!!

**emails from Afghanistan:)

**pumpkin spice lattes – but I have to say…not all lattes are created equal!!:( I tried one the other day – not from my usual spot – and no bueno!!

**crisp, fall mornings

**God’s faithfulness and mercy!

Have a blessed and fun Thankful Thursday, my friends!
