Thank you for visiting!
I’m Ginger.
I live in Peoria, Illinois with my husband, four kids, and giant fluffy cat. In previous chapters of life, I have resided in Oklahoma, Idaho, NW China, and Kazakhstan.
I’m thankful to God for salvation, daisies, Central Asian food, good books, creative crochet patterns, and toddlers in footie pajamas.
But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:21-23
