The Simple Life

I long for the days of sitting on the veranda with a good book, corresponding through snail mail with family and friends, and hitching up the buggy on Sunday to "go to meetin' " as they say. I crave a simpler time, a simpler place where life was about family and faith. I'm tired of the fast paced hustle and bustle of many trying to impress, fulfill themselves with things, and the need to buy the latest and greatest......


Starting in August, I will be writing a series on living simply. This topic has been on our hearts lately and in an effort to get our actions where the Lord is leading our family, I thought it would be fun to blog about some of the convictions God has laid on our hearts.

If you want to link up and share some of the ways God has led you in these areas, I would LOVE to hear about them! My goal is to encourage and gain insight from others and the convictions our family have may not be right for you and vise versa.

These are just some of the topics I will be talking about.

  1. Lex, I think I have found in you, dare I say, a kindred spirit. :) I feel quite similarly. I'm looking forward to reading what you have to say.
