Living in These Hills

As I begin this blog, I will tell the nutshell version of how it all came about. I live in the hills of upper East Tennessee. This is the area where Tennessee and Virginia meet. I live in a rural area of what is known as the Tri-Cities. It is a beautiful place. We are surrounded by rolling hills and green pastures. I have come to love this place but I did not always feel this way. You see, I was born in a little town in Southwest Virginia. Abingdon, the town in which I was born, is rich with history and Southern charm. I never thought I would leave. Actually, I never wanted to leave. I was perfectly content to stay right there in Virginia surrounded by my family and friends.
Then, God revealed His plan. He sent the most wonderful man into my life and, as the saying goes, the rest is history.
Frank literally walked into my life and stole my heart. That was twelve years ago.
When I agreed to become Frank's wife, I had no idea that God had even greater plans. Doctors had always told me I would probably never have children. I didn't like it - but I didn't think I could change it and I couldn't. But, God can and He did. God blessed us with the most precious baby boy I had ever seen (an unbiased observation,LOL).
So, what I have found living here in these hills is that this is where God's plans are being revealed. And, even greater, this is where God is revealing Himself. So, how could I not love it here? I have a daily walk with my Lord and Savior, I am blessed beyond comprehension.
I have come into my 'Asher' blessings. I can hardly stand it - I am so excited to see what comes next.
