Oh my goodness. I've got stories. It's been outrageously busy around here, so I'll just apologize up front- I miss you all, and I miss writing. So this brief respite before summer kicks in is nice and much appreciated. So we have a 4 year old, a 2 year old, and a 1 year old … Continue reading Story Time!
It is Swale with my Soul!
Hey y'all! In honor of our Summer Workshop Series, I designed an exclusive T-shirt. Our love for the Lord and our love of permaculture meet in this punny addition to the Etsy shop. While you're at it, there are less than 12 days to the 1st of our summer workshops on Back to Eden gardening! … Continue reading It is Swale with my Soul!
On Days When You Don’t Like Your Kids…
Every mom has been there... If she says she hasn't, she's lying. I love my children. I'd take a bullet for them, no questions. But there are days when I really just don't like them. My oldest is 3. That should be enough said. Honestly, 3 has been worse than two by far. Terrible 2's? … Continue reading On Days When You Don’t Like Your Kids…
Thoughts on Marriage: Christ First
The biggest takeaways from my 9 years of marriage have been monumental in strengthening my relationship with God and my husband, but none quite so much as the lesson that came in year 2. We had just moved to North Carolina where my husband was stationed at Camp Lejeune, as an 0811, field artillery cannoneer. … Continue reading Thoughts on Marriage: Christ First
Thoughts on Marriage: Humility
Next Sunday, April 7th, is my husband's and my 9th wedding anniversary. It's hard to believe we have been together for almost 11 years-- I'm not sure where the time went! (...well, about 4 years went to the Marine Corps) But as a sort of "fun" thing, I decided to share one lesson I've learned … Continue reading Thoughts on Marriage: Humility
God Speaks
Christians know and cherish the story of Elijah hiding in the mountains, waiting for God to speak to him. The Almighty's voice was not in the wind, the earthquake, or the fire. He was in a still small voice. This is sometimes used to promote disciplines of silence and solitude, meditation on Scripture, or cultivate … Continue reading God Speaks
Just a Thought
Sometimes our feelings tell us that God is silent. But when we complain that God is silent, when we're straining to hear the voice of God, what we're really saying is that we have exhausted this final decisive Word He has spoken to us in the person of Jesus and in the pages of Scripture. … Continue reading Just a Thought
Spiritual Warfare
It has been a MONTH! I tell you! Not only have my husband and I been striving to lean into Christ more than usual, we've faced opposition at almost every turn! We traded vehicles to significantly reduce our car loan debt. And it's like all the spiritual forces od wickedness decided to lay into us … Continue reading Spiritual Warfare
My “Jacob” Life
24 Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until daybreak. 25 When the man saw that he could not defeat him, he struck Jacob’s hip socket as they wrestled and dislocated his hip. Genesis 32:24-25 Jacob is one of the most personally relatable people in the Bible for me. Not the whole … Continue reading My “Jacob” Life
Life on Mars, But Not in the Womb.
There are some posts I write because I feel led to share things. There are others I write because I need them as a means to preach the Gospel to myself. And there are still others I write because, well someone has to. Whether anyone reads them or not. This is one of the 3rd … Continue reading Life on Mars, But Not in the Womb.
