OUR BEGINNING

How it all got started...

I, Tracee, began my faith without much of any foundation in God's word and couldn't really explain the reason for my hope. My husband guided me to a better understanding of God's word - the Bible.  He showed me it was possible to understand it.  Since we married in 2013, we have been seeking to grow in our grace & knowledge as Christians and sought to develop our family vision and purpose with Christ at the center.  This space captures my reflections on God's word, the seasons of marriage and motherhood, and my continual pursuit to learn and grow. 

​

I, Cameron, hope to challenge us all to dig deeper into God's word--facing the hard truths and submitting to Christ even if it is controversial, and especially if we find ourselves resisting.  We are not to hold onto the world, but as children of the Risen Christ, we should have confidence in the Resurrection, placing our trust in the Eternal instead of the material.  

​

Together, we chose Galatians 5:13 as the verse for our marriage.  Cameron's mountain men background emphasized liberty.  My family emphasized grace and compassion.  Over the years, we have come to realize that our family values are important, but they needed to be grounded in the Scriptures.  So we shifted our definition of liberty and grace to align completely with the way God defines them.  That's the reason for the name of our blog.  And at the end of the verse, God explains what we use our liberty for...loving one another.  We strive to do that not only in our marriage, but with everyone we meet.  

​

We pray that this blog encourages and challenges you as it has us.

In His Love, 

Cameron & Tracee
