Dr Bixler read Psalm 77 in class today, and this one line in verse 6 resonated with me: “I commune with my heart in the night.” Not sure why it struck me so much, perhaps because I’m not sleeping well – so there’s that. But also because God is embodied in this journey – whether I am awake or asleep – and so it will be a healing journey. And so as I commune with my heart in the night, I’ll live this journey from the inside out. I am a survivor and so are you.
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!
