I’m Beth Ferguson. Typically I introduce myself as Ron’s wife, Brad, Jason’s mom, the littles’ grandma, an educator, or “her” friend. Seems like it is difficult to introduce oneself apart from relationships!
Family Member
Clearly, family is significant. I currently live in Texas, moved here to be close to our sons and their families. I love spending time with our grandsons, exploring Legos, books, the pool, local parks, and more!
They are often on me, around me, hanging on to me and I would have it no other way!
Our favorite things to do are to read, tell stories, laugh at silly jokes, make up funny words, and play Legos!
Educator
Education is also dear to me. I learned much from teaching in various educational settings across three states, including private and public schools, and at all levels, elementary, middle, and high schools. Leading two elementary schools as a principal, opening new buildings, and growing up staff were highlights of my career. I retired a few years ago but still follow teachers, read about teaching, tutor kids, and teach part-time for an online university.
Follower of Christ
I am a Christ-follower since He sought me, wooed me to Himself, and offered me redemption. I was saved as a young person, blessed to have grown up in a Christian family, to have had the benefit of Christian training in regular attendance in church. Jesus makes all the difference in my life, and I can’t recommend Him enough!
Because I love God, I also love His Word. Over the years I have read it in bits and pieces, read it through in a year, and most recently I’ve been reading large chunks, books at a time, so I can learn more and more! I’ve read it aloud to others, taught it to children and adults, and still learn something in the Word every time I look at it.
Writer
I write. I write mostly to process my own learning, to think more deeply about scripture, to reflect. Since you are reading this note, you have found my blog. I hope you will be blessed if you spend a little time reading the thoughts I’ve shared.
If you have questions, curious about Jesus, the Word, I’d love to engage with you in conversation. I invite you to message me at simply.bethf@gmail.com.
My prayer for you is this, May you delight in God, knowing the fullness of His love! May you know Him as the source of your strength, peace, and provision. And as you draw close to Him, may goodness and joy overflow to those around you!
