I'm Kat. I am just a southern gal with midwestern roots...I say "Hey, y'all!" and "yeah, you guys!" within the same convo. I worked as a teacher for 17 years, and now am home with my little ones. I have found that life is super hard. I know that sharing our experience, our story, with each other can help us all feel a little less alone. I did not go to seminary, I do not know the bible front and back, but I do know that God loves us and wants life to be better for us. That is why He sent His Son! He cares for us so deeply. What I write about is my personal experience with God. Not to be a know it all. Not to claim I have the answers. But to share that He is personal. That when we go through some really dark stuff, He is near. He is holding us. He is speaking to us.

 

Though we may find ourselves broken down, He can restore us, help us and guide us to live our best life. That is my hope, what gets me through each day, and the reason for this blog. I hope to give you a little encouragement and hope that what I have found to be true can also speak to you.

Cheerful bones is that which I hope for- to be so full of joy and peace that I feel it in my bones. We are constantly told to find joy in the little things, be grateful for each moment, to be present. It is true; it really does help get through the hard stuff in the day-to-day moments of life. But this instruction and wisdom long preceded the current trend to find gratitude; it comes from the wisdom of those who lived long ago and are recorded in the bible. Proverbs 17:22 says, "A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones."  I hope to help you find encouragement so that you, too, may have cheerful bones.
