What's in a name.....

Posted on Wednesday, January 30, 2008 at 03:09

For the last 2 years my blog has worn the name homestead in the making.  Although, I do not think we know all there is to know about homesteading, I do think we are well on our way.  I have decided to go for a new name along with my new look.  I chose striving for simplicity.  The reason why is that in my life right now I am really pondering not being of this world.  Romans 12:2  I a really searching how God would have us to live in this world but not of it.  I want to throw off life's encumbrances Hebrews 12:1.  Thus the name Striving for Simpliciy.  How do I live in this world but yet strive to live a simple life?  That is the question I am trying to explore. 

Blessings,

Trixi

Blessings my friend! I do love your look. Great job!
I think we all at one time or another have looked, wanted, or just plain found the answer of how to be and or live the simple way of life. I guess it varies to each one according to their choosing. What was simple for the people before us also had such struggles and despair in daily life. That is also true of today. I know you will find your way cause with God we always do. When He shows us we have to believe it is TRUTH. Have a blessed journey into finding the way. Lovingly, rilda *U*
