A place of encouragement & Bible study on the narrow road
Hey friend, come in. I'm so glad you’re here! My name is Natalie and I created this blog in 2019 out of a desire to connect with other believers who need to hear, as I do, the hope extracted from these musings on God's Word, His perfect & life-giving ways, gospel living, homeschooling, entrepreneurship, the limitless reaches of Yahweh's love, and the awesome (let's be honest, sometimes-not-awesome) memoirs of motherhood. The God of Abraham is a God of covenant, of structure, patterns, and deep love for His people. I have found that there is so much more to following the footsteps of our Messiah than many of us have been taught, and this blog has served as my adventure log with the Lord on this, His narrow road.
My prayer is that you would leave this space encouraged in your pursuit of the God-Man,
and feeling His love all over you.
He makes all things new; even me, even you.
Leaning into the shadow, we await His return
"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." Matthew 24:36 When you see the crescent new moon this weekend (perhaps tonight... perhaps tomorrow night), you will be experiencing the "day no man knows" in the year 2026 - Yom Teruah, the Feast of Trumpets. (Leviticus 23) But why does this matter? And what does it mean? LOTS. There is a feast here for those hungry to search the living-Word for their hidden treasures. Wh

Fixed in the heavens, the Torah shines secure
Seraphina and I just memorized Psalm 19 together. It was such a life-giving, light-emitting practice to sit down with her every morning, warm mug in hand, and train with our sword. The poet in me worships the beauty of our Warrior-King in giving us His living letters to wield as swords. Isn't that brilliant!? Psalm 19 has now been anchored to mine and my girl's spirit, and every morning we cut down those lofty opinions that lift themselves up against the knowledge of God - as

Remembering the lamb of God
This week has held such sweet expectation as I've meditated on John the Baptist' prophetic outcry: "Behold! The lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." This is the happiest time of the year; God’s spring feasts are here! Passover, Unleavened Bread and Firstfruits have become an annual anchoring for me, to the deep & profound ways in which God leads His people in remembering . Did you know that Jesus fulfilled each of God's spring feasts during the events of this wee
