Faith – The Crunchy Vagabond

Moved

So much has happened since I’ve last posted here. Much has changed situationally for us as a family. So much has changed for me spiritually. I felt prompted to take a break from writing in the spring of 2023. A lot was happening for me internally and relationally. I needed time to process without theContinue reading “Moved”

“For I know that my redeemer lives and He will stand upon the dust at last.” Job 19:25

I’m reading through the Bible chronologically this year. I am so blessed to be doing it with an amazing group of women virtually(through the Every Woman A Theologian ministry). In 2020 I picked up my Bible and began attempting to read it regularly again(not my first attempt). I struggle with being distracted in my ownContinue reading ““For I know that my redeemer lives and He will stand upon the dust at last.” Job 19:25”

Theology Book Reviews of 2022

I began this year with a new goal for myself. I didn’t call it a New Year Resolution but that’s essentially what it was. My goal was to read a book a month. That meant that outside of my regular bible reading time I had to set aside at least 10 minutes to read aContinue reading “Theology Book Reviews of 2022”

Reading Goals and Heart Formation

A couple years ago I wanted to re-ignite my love for reading. I was knee deep in diapers, tired to my core and didn’t own a shirt without a stain on it. Like other women in that position, I found myself wondering who the heck I was and wondering what I even enjoyed anymore. Although,Continue reading “Reading Goals and Heart Formation”

The Weary World Rejoices

Advent is here. The countdown has begun. If you know me you know that means that I’m giddy because this time of year is precious to me. However, it wasn’t always that way. As my childhood years morphed into teenage years I found Holidays to be less appealing. They had lost their magic, probably inContinue reading “The Weary World Rejoices”

The Law Of Liberty

Pride and I have a long history. We go way back. It’s painful and embarrassing to remember all of the ways in which I have operated in my own pride. Justifying my own sin, making up my own righteous rules for myself and others. The most gracious thing God has done is showing me howContinue reading “The Law Of Liberty”

He Meets Me Here

As I sit here in my quiet house, with feet propped up on a fluffy little poof, blanket draped over my legs, I can feel my heart begin to race. I work hard to calm my mind, to control my breathing as my chest becomes more heavy. Anxiety is a familiar companion. One that IContinue reading “He Meets Me Here”

Hiding

“And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees in the garden.” Genesis 3:8 In the passage of Genesis that addresses the fall, we see Adam flee.Continue reading “Hiding”

Who Am I? – Christ Centered Identity

I used to think my identity had a lot to do with shallow things like my name, my favorite things, or my strong opinions. As life went on my identity morphed into whatever was most important to me at the time. Then when I became a mom, my identity and importance came from the title,Continue reading “Who Am I? – Christ Centered Identity”

The January-est Of January’s

As we move through the days and weeks of a new year, it can feel sluggish for some. Not the “fresh start” that we may envision. That’s ok. I get it. Here’s something uplifting to read: Psalm 36:5-11 “Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends into the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. Your righteousness isContinue reading “The January-est Of January’s”
