A name for the blog!

I finally decided on a name for the blog!  After much thought about what I really want to say here, I realized that I want to share honest thoughts, successes and failures, projects and explorations, recipes and tips, and just a window into our everyday life.  I’m aspiring to make my home a beautiful place and my marriage a place of comfort and joy.  I’m looking to be fit and healthy and fill our plates with food that is good and good for you.  The desire of my heart is to create a Delightful Dwelling for me and my husband (and one day our children!).

I believe that God has created me as a woman to love beauty and seek to make beautiful the things that are around me.  I believe that God has given me the responsibility to make our house a home - a place of refuge and respite.  Finding a new recipe that is good for the body and the taste buds or repurposing an old piece of furniture are small things that make me come alive, and I want to share those things with you.

We believe that God is our ultimate Dwelling Place.  Psalm 91:9-11 says:

“Because you have made the LORD your dwelling place—
the Most High, who is my refuge—

no evil shall be allowed to befall you,
no plague come near your tent.
For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.”

We believe that true joy is found in the Lord, and that he is everything we need for a fulfilled life.  Psalm 37:4 says:

“Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.”

We want everything we say and do to be a reflection of the love and grace that God gives to us so freely every day.  As I seek to fulfill God’s calling for my life in creating this humble Delightful Dwelling that we call home, I hope to glorify Him in it all and share His love with you!

Drumroll please.... A Delightful Dwelling!
