I’m a barefoot Montanan farm girl that now calls Asia home. It’s been quite journey, and I’ve learned a lot about myself, the world, and the Lord along the way.

Here at Manna Enough, I document adventures, insights I’ve gleaned, and glimpses into my journey with the Lord.  I do this through your standard prosaic blog posts, but also through poetry, song covers, Word Paintings and even some music. 

This is a space of imperfection and hope, a place for creativity and growth, vulnerability and acceptance. And honestly, it’s as much for me as it is for you.

I’m so delighted that you’re here.

Grab a cup of coffee or chai and stay awhile.

A little bit about me

I am a child of God, and as a recovering perfectionist, I’m growing in how to see myself that way more and more.  The song  “One” by Sleeping at Last has been echoing in my mind for a long time, and this verse in particular,

now, i have learned my lesson;
the price of this so-called perfection is everything.
i’ve spent my whole life searching desperately
to find out that grace requires nothing of me.

Grace requires nothing of me.  What does it look like to live that truth?  I think you’ll find a lot of the content of my blog explores this question, either directly or indirectly.  You’ll see me battle with my inner critic, learn how to be more vulnerable and make mistakes, and be more accepting of who I am right now as opposed to who I “should” be.

“Balance” is my favorite word, and it’s something I strive for in every single area of life no matter how big or small.  I love to explore the nuances of two perspectives or two extremes.  I find the answer usually falls somewhere in the middle.  But that might need balance too…

Anyway, all to say, during your short (or long) visit here at Manna Enough, maybe you’ll laugh a little, maybe you’ll be encouraged or even a little enlightened.  And maybe, just maybe, you’ll leave with a little more hope than when you came.

I sure hope so.
