Coming home from all those medical tests I started to realize that I no longer had the bandwidth to face another full-time term in grad school. I spent some time with the Associate Dean at EMS, and we have lightened my seminary load down to one class.
I’m grieving that decision because being in those classes with my classmates learning that material is precisely what I wanted to be doing with the beginning of 2023!!
But… naturally a healing journey requires my focus at this time.
Dr Bixler also advocated for me in the financial aid department, and so my bill for this semester of seminary is clear and I’m so grateful to see God’s provision and the support of my seminary community happening in this beautiful way. What a beautiful gift!
Hello Friend and WELCOME! I’m a progressive Neo-Mennonite seminary student. I wrestle in the style of Jacob, question in the style of the woman at the well (whose name we are not told) and I’m always looking around for Jesus.
As a textile artist, I weave on a rigid heddle loom in the Saori tradition – which is like jazz for yarn – completely improvisational. I love to sew, make hats, jewelry, dye yarn, and paint gloves, shoes, and bags in my colors. My goal is a complete handmade wardrobe unique to me, with a hint of the gorgeous 1920’s.
My Austrian and I lived in a tiny house from 2014 – 2018 and currently live a handmade life in a small house. It is our dream to buy land and build a beautiful community for tiny house people. I’ve written two books on living simply, the first is “Kitchen Simplicity” and the second is “The Simplicity Mindset”.
Welcome to the yarn basket and thanks for being here, I appreciate it!
