I'm Wren, just a simple lady married to an incredible man, Jace, and mom to 3 crazy, wonderful small kids, Tess, Kaia and Jasper and a large yellow lab, Brody, and two mischievous beagle puppies, Max and Felix. My allegiance is to Jesus Christ first of all, and my prayer is the Holy Spirit would use me to encourage tired, lonely mamas out there. We all need grace and hope, don't we? I don't have answers; all I know is what Jesus, my Rescuer, did for me, and that He wants to rescue you as well.
I do not have it all together. I am not Super Mom. I am on a journey, a student of the Word of God. Please bear with me, I am learning, and I do not know all there is to know. I may be wrong. I may be right. All I know is Jesus is full of grace and rest for the weary.
Our family is a little bit home grown and a little bit trendy. We try to live as simply as we possibly can; a half empty room is easier to take care of. We try to eat as clean as we can. We love green smoothies (with a Vitamix) and tons of fruits and vegetables. My husband is a deer and turkey hunter, so we love organic meat. I personally do not like the taste of coffee, tea or alcohol, instead I live on liquid chlorophyll added to my water. My favorite food group is chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate, the fancy kind. We still love pizza, cheeseburgers, hot dogs and icecream, especially if the day has been crazy. Jace and I work together in the kitchen, neither of us like to follow recipes. In an alternate reality, Jace would've liked to open up his own restaurant; we are always working on the would have been menu.
We love to do activities as a family, but the opportunities are few and far between. Our favorite thing to do is go for a drive with no destination. It gives us a chance to talk while the kids are safely confined and relatively quiet. Other things we like to do are visiting local farms and doing anything animal related, the kids are on a horse and butterfly kick. Jace loves learning about the weather, especially tornadoes. The kids spend their days playing, eating, mess making, eating, reading, eating, drawing, eating, mess making, eating and watching Netflix; notice napping isn't mentioned.
I prefer skirts to jeans, and scarves and braids to ponytails. I prefer bright colors to country colors, and facebook to twitter. I prefer Christian hip-hop to hymns accompanied by piano. I prefer tattoos to piercings, and honesty to formality.
I love to meet new people and always ready to give a listening ear. I want to learn from you as well! If you don't agree with me, great; we aren't all at the same place on our journeys. I'm willing to listen to your points if you're willing to listen to mine. I will shy away from hot arguments and unnecessary division.
I am not afraid to preach Jesus, gospel and grace, stand up against sin, debate hot topics, and talk about something awkward. I would rather tell you the truth and risk offending you than ignore the elephant in the room. If you get offended easily, you might not enjoy this blog, though you are always welcome here!
Again, thank you so much for visiting! I'm so humbled that the Holy Spirit would lead me in this direction. I don't take your visit lightly. Drop me a message to say hello! I'd love to meet and talk with you!
Weary mama, of all walks of life, you are my friend; I'm right in the trenches with you. There's hope in Jesus, gospel and grace. <3
Yay! Love you, Wren!
