Jennifer Saake

 Last week, Rick and I had the joy of sharing our story about my stroke recovery journey  as episode #60 of the It Stands Written podcast. We invite you to listen along! It Stands Written is a ministry of our home church, Desert Bible Church , in Scottsdale, Arizona, with Pastor Justin Erickson.

Every Sunday morning finds my alarm going off 1-3 hours earlier than it does on any other day of the week. My health  demands much sleep, but my heart so craves speaking Life and Truth to the Bride of Christ, that C. and I guard of our weekly book workshopping hour fiercely and have found Sunday mornings before church, to be the best consistent fit for both of our schedules. So C. greets me at her door at 7am every Sunday.  [Update, Late October, 2024:  About a year ago, a family crisis in C.'s life necessitated the end of our writing partnership. After taking most of this year to prayerfully reconsider the project, I have begun this book again and am meeting regularly with my pastor for input and now attempting to writing solo, starting over with chapter 1. Honestly, if a publishable book is the final outcome, it will only be because God choose to enable my injured brain to achieve something beyond my natural capabilities.

While  my main social page is  HarvestingHope  on Facebook ,  with specialty Facebook pages for  DeceptionUnmasked  ,  HannahsHopeBook ,  and    StrokieGal / Stroke Of Grace ,  I tend to use @InfertilityMom as my identification almost everywhere else  (including LinkedIn, GoodReads, and several others, though I'm still HannahsHope  on the Hannah's Prayer Community Forums message boards). Since I'm not able to regularly keep up with all the platforms, the places beyond FB that you are most likely to find me actively participating are  on  Twitter ,   Pinterest , and  Instagram . I'm still trying to figure out Parler and  MeWe  (where I somehow managed to register simply as jennifersaake), so feel free to follow me there, just know that I'm unsure how to use those two yet. The overarching theme of all my writing has been  Harvesting Hope from Heartache , how we can find hope during our deep...

JenniferSaake   spring 2019 I grew up on the mission field, spending 7 years in Japan. (No, I did not learn more than a very few words of the language.) While I moved about 17 times in childhood, most recently I lived in Northern Nevada, 45 minutes from Lake Tahoe, for over two decades. We moved to Arizona in 2019. I can touch my nose with the tip of my tongue and can pick up items with my toes. There were 6  Jennifer s in my first grade class in the the late 1970s.
