When I can’t fit my thoughts in my regular newsletter, I come here to ramble, sometimes even eloquently. As a jack-of-all-trades type, the topics vary greatly. You’ll find stories behind my paintings, short stories and essays on anything from agriculture to intentional living to cultural issues. If you don’t like one post, maybe don’t give up until you’ve tasted a few.
Often, I’m mentally chewing on some big things and just want to send my thoughts out to the void, secretly hoping for some solidarity.
Always, I strive to filter these thoughts through a sieve built with love.
Thoughts, updates, stories…
With Love, Elli
Let’s Begin With Gratefulness
And then God used several sweet friends to remind me that writing isn’t optional for me. (Gratefulness Item numéro deux) It’s a passion God gave me and I have a choice. I can hide it away and avoid all the risk or I can GROW. In the year since, I’ve been blessed with an opportunity to use my writing for a ministry full of gracious women. It has allowed me to make mistakes and realize it doesn’t kill me. It has taught me that the growing process isn’t something to be ashamed of. (<-Definitely still working on it.)
