Life is such an interesting journey. I am constantly amazed at where I am lead and what I am called to do, and the limits I am told to push. At 28 years old, I have been married for over 8 years and we have been blessed (so far) with five children; four girls and a boy. Let me tell you, life can be a bit chaotic at times. I wish that I could say that I am naturally a patient and loving person, but I would be lying. It has been brought to my attention many times throughout my life journey that God has deemed marriage and children a blessing for many reason, but especially because they force us to mature and grow. I have found that it is quite difficult to remain in a place of selfishness when in a position where being caretaker and lover are defining characteristics. As much as my flesh struggles regularly, I am thankful for these challenges, because I would not be who I am today without them.
In my journey I have learned a lot about health and wellness, which has really shaped the choices I make in my life, but through the web of the Bible, it has completely changed how I interact with and interpret the world. It is for this reason that homeschooling, cloth diapers, breastfeeding, homebirthing, being a stay-at-home mother, and learning to find peace and inspiration in the kitchen have all become part of our day-to-day living. I definitely do not know it all. I also know that what works for me may not work for you, but my hope is that my words will encourage, inspire, and challenge you to become all that God created you to be. Draw near to Him and He will guide you to where you need to be in this season of your life. May you be blessed!
