It’s long been a dream of ours to have a little piece of land in the country that we could call our own. If you had asked me in January 2019 if I would be living in a hundred-year-old farm house on 15 acres with a growing menagerie of animals by the end of the year, I would have scoffed and said it wasn’t possible. Sure, I wanted it to happen, but I did not see it happening in 2019. If I’m honest with myself – and you – I didn’t see it happening anytime in the next five years. And yet, here we are…on the adventure of a lifetime.

The story of how we got here could only have been written by God himself. It’s truly incredible. He made a way when there was no way. He opened doors that we didn’t even know existed.

I’ve been told on more than one occasion that I should start a blog, that I have good things to say and a way with words that is encouraging and life-giving. I’ve always brushed off the words of those well-meaning friends and family members because I had convinced myself that people didn’t want to hear what I had to say or share. What I’ve come to realize, however, is that whether or not people want to hear what I have to say shouldn’t stop me from sharing it. And so, here I am…sharing about the adventure of a lifetime.

I plan to write about lots of things including faith, marriage, homesteading, and more…really whatever suits my fancy or whatever the Lord is teaching me. My prayer is that whoever finds their way to my little blog will be encouraged in their faith and calling as daughters of the King and that it is a continual reminder that He is a Way Maker.

Thus says the Lord,
    who makes a way in the sea,
    a path in the mighty waters,
who brings forth chariot and horse,
    army and warrior;
they lie down, they cannot rise,
    they are extinguished, quenched like a wick:
“Remember not the former things,
    nor consider the things of old.
Behold, I am doing a new thing;
    now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
    and rivers in the desert.

Isaiah 43:16-19
