Miracle Lane Homestead- our new start

​We have started our newest adventure!!  Yes it feels like we are always onto something new each year but we go as doors open! 




Farmsteading.  This is a dream we have prayed for many years and it finally is!  It’s not happening where or how we planned but God has truly given us our hearts desire and dream home with this.


First thing was creating a name we felt met the feel of our land as well as our family.  Miracle Lane.  This gave us a touch of Mira’s name to honor her, but it also describes the miracle that God gave us with this land.  Lane is due to the fact we have a very long driveway which is truly serene and peaceful.   We are so thankful for this homestead. 


Our goals and plans will be to one day have self sustaining meat, veggies, and as much as we can off our land.  We are starting with pigs and very soon will add cows and chickens!  We are enjoying getting to learn and take care of the farm animals.




The boys are having an adjustment period.  We went from a whirlwind busy life with constant homeschoolers, friends, and activities to a very slow paced life.  We started trail life which is Christian Boy Scouts so they are meeting new friends and starting to learn new skills!  We also found a fantastic group of music homeschoolers so the kids started band and choir.  It allows us to have one thing a day with people (between church and activities) but we have the majority of our day with family and farm life! 


Our new church has been truly amazing!  It’s been a difficult thing for me to find a church that preaches solid bible and has traditional music but also has true love and grace for others.  The church here is very small town and country feel but they have made us feel welcomed and loved every step of the way!  It’s made the transition to a new state much smoother. I am grateful how God has continued to encourage us through others as we settle in. 



We have many new adventures to come and I can’t wait to see what is in store!!  For now we are settling into a slower pace of life, refocusing on our family, and healing through more of our past traumas without distractions.


I will continue to share as we settle in!    


Hard things are a blessing
