I’m not technically doing no poo. I mean I am, but I’m not. Hear me out. I’m just cutting back my shampoo use. “Oh phew, she said shampoo, she didn’t actually mean not going to the bathroom”

Are you kidding me! I pray for that kind of poo. With ibs, it’s like, will I, won’t I? Every. Single. Day. But that’s for another blog post…(ew). Right now let’s focus on the hair.

Back in 2018. A whole year…

What happens to me when I get into Gods word?

in all honesty, I don’t spend every day in the word, and I notice slight difference in my behavior when I don’t compared to when I do. The Lord will teach you something new each and every time you read or reread a scripture if you only observe! The first step is to observe the text, find out what’s happening, where the words are taking place, what is…

Jonathan and I went on an adventure this past weekend, just a day trip, to Glen Onoko falls in Pennsylvania. It was just what I needed but it also triggered the desire to explore more!

Growing up in Florida, all you could do was go to the beach or ride your bike on the flat roads. There was no real options of hiking, being nomads we learned that the best places to see take some hard work getting…

I want to create for you

For months i’ve been dreaming up pieces I could create that would bring joy to others. What comes to mind is creating from my heart, from myself. If I create based on what others like then I am not creating from a place of authenticity and joy. I want my work to be me, and in result will bring joy to you. Each painting I post is available for purchase. As of right now everything will be…

Our apartment may be tiny, but we’ve made it home for the past six months. Here’s a little photo tour of the layout.

It’s a studio layout with a separate room for the kitchen. I wanted an open floor plan for our home, wood floors, and white walls and that’s what we were blessed with.

We purchased our couch, bed frame, and dressers from ikea. Our tv stand was gifted to us from our friends. Little…

My Savior loves, my savior lives.

This morning I sit in my living room watching a show called A.D. the Bible continues on Netflix. Even if this show might withhold exact scripture or dramatizes the Bible, it could be planting a seed in some to seek God further. To know Jesus! A scene came on in the episode called The First Martyr where Peter is talking with his daughter Maya as she wipes his back from just having been lashed for…

It might be. That right now, I am in a season of steadfast. Of holding on tight and trusting my God more than ever before. Last night our pastor really laid a picture out for me. Because I have been struggling big time with staying put. I have been complaining, so much. About everything little thing going on in my life. Mostly about where God has called us. New Jersey. I don’t even think that…

a Bit fired up

Here I am writing another post in the same week! what have I become. haha. I have just been thinking about God a lot, like my brain has been on over drive just contemplating Jesus, the word, and the world. My heart is so sad for this world. It breaks every time something violent and destructive comes across my screens. I don’t understand how this world isn’t aware that a change is needed. It…

Here’s what is Happening

Honestly, I don’t know. I normally speak on my behalf in this here blog. My emotions and my words. I have to say that it has been so tough for me emotionally since moving out the rv and into this “normal” lifestyle. I don’t feel like myself . I knew who I was on the road. I knew my drive. I knew how to get a job and how to leave one behind. I knew how to find happiness and how to praise God. I…

I always felt intimated by the Bible and by people who read it. Like they had some clear understanding of God and what the Bible was actually saying by simply reading it. I always wondered, “ what the heck is going on here” and would get frustrated and stop reading because it made no sense. Since we moved to New Jersey our pastor bought Jonathan and I New King James study bibles that help link…

I find that blogging can be both satisfying but also disappointing. You never know if you’re just writing into thin air or if someone is actually taking what you say to heart. These past two weeks I have been fighting back and forth with myself to take up my life and make it better. Turn it into something I truly am happy about. Happy to be presenting to the world, and also an outlet to help…

We are coming up on 5 months of living in New Jersey, as well as our five year anniversary! I decided to finally do a little home tour and my YouTube channel, so enjoy! https://youtu.be/k0HPYfhQb2k

Well isn’t this something. Me actually taking the time to write out a blog post. What’s come over me? Who knows. I just keep thinking that I hardly find blogs that are real but also represent Jesus. Why doesn’t anyone touch basis on how doubt plays a big role in chasing God. That doubt is needed in order to trust more. These things are real, they’re there, and a lot of people struggle with it.…

Wait… how has it been 6 months since I’ve written an entry? I am such a slacker. You guys, we aren’t living nomadic anymore. How has this happened? Our spirits were so tired and ready for a revival. Nomadic life was incredible, but God was calling us to plant roots. That’s what we are doing… in New Jersey. I ask God, why New Jersey? He’ll reveal that someday, but for now we live here to serve our…

It’s not goodbye, it’s see ya later. 

Tomorrow.  We leave San Diego tomorrow.  I have to say this has been the most emotional send off for me yet.  Watching my students graduate from kinder, and saying have a nice life do great things.  To saying see ya later to our new family in Christ we met through City Church. Alex, James, Ashton, Devon, Gabi and Gabe have made a huge impact on our lives. We love you guys!  They’ve challenged us…

That should be the title of a band. ” La Jolla and the sea Lions” lol. We finally got to see them! The wild sea lions that rule La Jolla beaches. They’re everywhere! And I was worried they wouldn’t actually be there.  First let me just say, we went on a Saturday evening, in spring. Traffic and trying to find parking was awful. We found a spot, and had to trek back the way we just came from. It…

We’ve made a decision…

We are headed to Empire, Michigan. June 15th is our set departure date, and then we will be booking it across country, yet again.  It’s so crazy amazing how this lifestyle can direct us any and every where. I really love it. I was telling Jonathan this morning how nice it is to pick up our roots and go somewhere new. I realized that once we start getting into a routine with not much left to…
