About Me
Hello there! Welcome to my corner of the internet.
I’m Rebecca—writer, wife, mom, and unapologetic lover of Scripture. Writing has been part of my life since childhood. When I was 8 years old I received a journal for Christmas, and that journal unlocked a defining part of who I am. It’s been an inextricable aspect of my identity ever since. Whether I’m crafting blog articles, books, or the occasional late-night Facebook post, writing is how I process life, the experiences that shape us, and all the nuances in between.
First and foremost, I love the Lord. My life is rooted in His grace, and it’s my greatest joy to honor and serve Him. Exploring God’s Word and diving into doctrine provides the framework for navigating life, proving relevant and meaningful in every situation.
I’m also blessed to do life with my amazing husband, Mark. His steady faith, character, and godly leadership inspire me daily. Together, we’re raising three kids—Zane, Asa, and Mercy—and navigating the beautiful chaos of homeschool life. If I accomplish nothing else in this life, I pray that my one success is that my children are instilled with a solid Biblical foundation, that they may know His Word well, and by it, are prepared to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
A little more about me?
- The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith provides the best representation of my doctrinal beliefs. I appreciate how this confession reflects God’s sovereignty, the beauty of salvation by grace, and the centrality of Christ.
- I have lupus, stage 4 osteoporosis, and I’ve survived a blood clot in the brain, not once, but twice!
- I am navigating the difficult and disorienting world of trauma-induced and stroke-related memory fragmentation. One day I’ll write a post about it, but for now, I’ll just say that I’m leaning on Christ. I have learned that I cannot anchor in who I am or what I was or what I know about myself. I can, however, anchor in a God Who is unchanging, everlasting, and sovereign over my mind and I can walk forward upon His Word, and that’s what I’m doing.
- I used to be deaf— my hearing was restored surgically! I have an itty bitty titanium implant in each ear.
- All the health stuff has been a lot, but God has used these challenges as gentle reminders of His sovereignty and His grace which sustains me.
- I grew up in Western New York and married my husband after meeting him at Bible college. We’ve lived in Pennsylvania, Missouri, Arkansas, and Texas!
- I’m an introvert! I’m a smidge awkward but I embrace it! I enjoy gently-paced life, being at home, deep conversations, and a variety of creative outlets. (Sewing, gardening, baking, crafting, etc.)
- I love to read! My genres are classics, theology, history, and literary fiction!
- I love hymns!
- I wrote a book! It’s called “The Shadow Gospel” and it tackles the very real issue of false teachings masquerading as “Christian” in today’s church world.
I’m glad you’re here! Whether you’re here to read or just curious, I hope what I share points to the hope and truth I’ve found in Christ. This space is where I reflect on life, faith, and the journey God has me on. I’m grateful for the opportunity to share it with you! Keep in mind that I’m a fallible human, experiencing God’s grace. For the sake of your soul, measure every word of man, including mine, by the Word of God!
Sustained by His Grace,
