Welcome.

It’s an honor that you’re here! I’m Lauren and I’d love to encourage you here through this little newsletter. For a long while, it seems, I’ve been desiring a different space to share thoughts, ideas, bible studies, artwork, poetry, and more. It feels like a safer space as well to share more of the happenings around our homestead.

I am a wife and mama to six and we are currently homesteading and building a life for our family centered around the ancient paths of Yahweh. I have a heartfelt desire to encourage other mothers as we journey together and as we seek to live out our faith in Yahweh and His Son Yeshua and what that looks like day to day.

What are the ancient paths?

“Thus says Yahweh: ‘Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls.’” Jeremiah 6:16

Asking our Father for the old ways or the ancient paths is not only a quest to return to His ways, per scripture, but also a stark realization as to our identity as children of Abraham. We are grafted into the olive tree, meaning our very identity changes as we become apart of His family. I think of people who research ancestry and I imagine a person, a “nobody” in his or her own mind, discovering that their ancestry traces back somewhere unexpected and incredible. Suddenly they realize their own unique heritage. It is in their blood. It is who they now are. They are proud of where they come from and their life now changes because of it.

This should be the reality for every believer who professes faith in Yeshua our Messiah. Because of Him, we now have a perfect way back to the Father and a way back to His ways. The old path had become quite muddied and obscure leading up to the time of our Messiah. It had thorns and briars growing in on either side. Trees had fallen across. The way blended in with the surroundings and not many could find it. Yeshua came to clear the path and to show us the way back. I imagine Him standing on the path and beckoning, reasoning, drawing people to Himself as He knows His people will be the most blessed and the most protected along His ways and finally off the destructive paths of this fallen world.

People everywhere are finding Him and actually walking the old ways again. Traveling them brings rich blessing and it involves every aspect of our lives…from the food we eat…to the clothes we wear…to the animals we care for…to the days we celebrate…to how we raise our children…it encompasses it all and it throws us into this vibrant story that is alive, abundant, and unfolding.

It is who we are.

It is in our blood.

Our identity has changed and our heritage is truly unique and incredible.

This is what I love writing about and this is how I hope to encourage you as we journey together along Yahweh’s ancient paths.
