“Through the Valley” is a reference to Psalm 23, and an especially meaningful image for me in my current journey through a recent lung cancer diagnosis and chemotherapy. My name is Jill. I am a 48 year old child of God, follower of Jesus, wife of a song writer/musician/music teacher, mother to three young children (12, 10, 7).

I am new to blogging. I planned to never start a blog without focus, purpose and commitment … but circumstances change! I imagine this may become an eclectic mix of brief and/or rambling updates, prayer requests, and reflections … My hope is that it will help communicate with the loads of lovely, supportive people who care so much and gently ask for updates. We are so grateful for the amazing community who are surrounding us, helping us, praying for us, cheering us on and walking with us – whether from near or far.
