A Little About Me

I’m Wendy Gunn. Welcome to Faith’s Firm Foundation!
Please come in and make yourself at home. (If you were visiting me in my home, I’d offer you a cup of coffee, a comfy seat and some chocolate:) So, get yourself a cup of something good, and stay awhile! Feel free to take a look around! Let me tell you a little about myself, if I may, and please leave me a comment before you leave. I’m so glad you’re here!

Well, I suddenly woke up and found myself in my mid-50′s (I have no idea how that happened).  I have a wonderful husband who I’ve been married to for 33 years and we’ve raised and Homeschooled our 2 children, Dane and Kelsey, who are now 25 and 22, from start to finish, thankful for the grace of God. We’re grateful to the Lord for saving them both and that they love the Lord and are walking with Him.

I’m a Christian wife and mother, a Homeschooler (I still call myself a Homeschooler–you know it doesn’t matter how old your kids are:  once a Homeschooler, always a Homeschooler).  I’m also a stay-at-home mom and wanna-be-published writer.  I love people, sunshine, decorating, showing hospitality, babies, and mentoring young moms.

Most importantly, I’m a lover of coffee, chocolate, celebrating friends’ birthdays, and words.  Yes, words. Because they’re powerful. Words can change people.  They convey ideas, convict consciences, convince minds, correct error, comfort hurting hearts, and communicate “I love you.”  God sealed the importance of words forever when He said of Jesus Christ, “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.”

I’m passionate about living for the Lord, especially within the context of family and the home. The most important place where you serve the Lord is in your own home, with your own family.  It’s also the hardest place.  I believe that Satan is working night and day to keep wives and moms from staying home and doing that most important work the Lord has for them. We need to finish well, and the key to doing that is keepin’ on keepin’ on, and trusting in the Lord to help us. Only by His grace will we finish the race He’s given us to run.

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:9

There’s spiritual power and a testimony to the world
when a Christian couple faithfully builds a loving marriage,
trains up Godly children, and bears lasting fruit, just
living out their day-to-day lives obeying the Word of God,
by the Holy Spirit’s power, standing on the
Firm Foundation of Faith in Jesus Christ.

Is that easy?  No.  After all these years, I am still learning about this subject daily and have definitely not arrived. But, as I learn, I want to help you. May I be that Titus 2 older woman in your life?  I’m available.  We have the Word of God, the Holy Spirit and the precious Lord Himself to help us.

I want to encourage you as you serve the Lord in your home and family.  Let me know how I can help.

Hi Wendy,
Nice 2 C your blog. I got it thru my friend Vijaya from Sartell, MN. I am a stay-at-home mom. I have a toddler girl & another one due in 6 mos. I very badly needed Christian guidance to raise my kids. Specially, me & my hubby being the only Christians in our families.

Love,
Tapu

Welcome, Tapu! It’s always encouraging when God starts a new generation of Christians in a family that hasn’t believed in Him. I will be praying for you and your husband as you raise your children for the Lord.
Thanks for sharing,
Wendy

A Titus 2 woman! The world needs more “older” ladies who’ve been in the trenches and can mentor those who are still in. I’m your newest follower (via Facebook). :)
