Savior, Walk With Me
Each day I’m more aware of how much I need the help of my Savior moment by moment. At this stage in my life, I don’t have the emotional or physical energy I had when I was younger. As a single woman, I also don’t have a partner with whom to discuss, brainstorm, and share the load. Challenges that used to seem like a few steep steps, now often feel like mountains to climb.
Joy In My Posterity
Most of the truly joyful moments in my life have been because of my children—feeling new life stirring inside me for the first time, holding them in my arms when they’re born, hearing them say, “I love you, Mom.”
Sunshine and Shadows
We often think of opposition as a negative thing. Whenever I have a powerful spiritual experience, I know serious opposition will follow. Super predictable. Likewise, however, when life seems to be bombing me with difficulties, I always have hope that the good stuff is there, too. Often, in the midst of painful situations, I have to concentrate, open my eyes, and search a little, to recognize the blessings, but other times they pour down in torrents, so that I can hardly take them all in.
About Me
I’m Jen, mother of 7 amazing humans, Gran of 5 (so far), divorce survivor, homebody, health seeker, and devoted follower of Jesus. This is the place where I share how the hiccups and detours in the road of my life strengthen my hope in Christ.
