My yard is blooming! I little late in the game, but still...blooming nonetheless! This summer I have proven to myself one thing...I can grow things. Not without loads of moral support from my mom and Kim, and numerous trips to Lowes to ask the garden guy yet another dumb question, but again, I have the basic capability to keep things alive and that makes me happy.
So I guess you could say that I'm not a green thumb, but I'm not a black one either. I guess it's more of a purple-y, greenish, yellow...like a typical bruise. Not the best shape it could be in, but has the definite hope of getting better with time. Is that a gross analogy? Whatever. You get my drift.
Hi! I'm what one might consider an "older millennial" who grew up in the evangelical church. I had a promise ring and was courted and went to all the youth conferences and listened to all of the popular Christian bands of the 90's and early 2000's. And while so many great things came out of that, so did a lot of hurt and confusion. You too?
I've spent the last 15 years of my life deconstructing some of those old beliefs. I knew there had to be something greater to my faith than a sense of shame and obligation. And now, as I raise my two daughters alongside my husband, I want them to experience the freedom and joy of being a Christ follower.
If you've felt shacked by Christianity, you're not alone. Join me as we untangle the lies of legalism from the truth of the Gospel.
