Introduction — A Quiet Life

“You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.”

\ Psalm 16:11

My mother is a creative soul—she is ever engaging with life, and is an inspiration to me in doing so. She uses her skills organizing and decorating and crafting and cooking to help others constantly. She is immersed in the Scriptures and always has a word of truth-speaking wisdom to share. When she is on her own time, she travels to Door County, WI, or goes to visit my sister in Kentucky. She also enjoys reading, friends, and maintaining all memories from our family heritage.

My mom, Sheryl, will bring all of these skills to this—our little homemade blog. I supply the photography, and often, she will supply the topics of our posts. It’s a joint endeavor, as I lean on her in my creative photography output. Welcome to our blog!

“…make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you”

1 Thessalonians 4:11

I’m a housewife. I believe it is what the Lord is asking of me—leading me to set other avenues or potential avenues aside and embrace this one. My heart is leading me home, and I’m receiving this path. In a spirit of thankfulness, setting aside work outside the home with its traditional goals and deadlines, I want to take hold of life. I want to aspire to live quietly, as the Scriptures say—to work with my hands. For me, that verse guides to photography. Embracing life through the lens—that is my quiet and simple path. When I have a goal, I focus more on what I can pull from life, what I can cultivate. So, I'm starting a photography lifestyle blog with devotional elements. It’s all for fun—with recipes, clothes, family heirlooms and history, crafts, theological quotes, pieces about what God is teaching me, and more. This blog is my new light goal and airy deadline—concurrent with a life at home.
