About Me

Grace Kelley

Grace Kelley

Hello! I’m Gracie. I am a wife, a mama, and a follower of King Jesus. I love my garden and my goats and all things #homesteadyish. I love being a small-home maker, because small houses take less time to clean, and that means I have more time to spend on my tiny farm of a backyard. I love the flexibility of being a stay at home Mommy & Writer. As a general rule, if I'm too busy to make jam, then I'm too busy. This to me says, I value a full life, but not a full calendar, and I love to take life in season. Farm/Garden to table cooking is my absolute favorite, and I don't mind a little dirt under my fingernails. There's nothing better than a harvest; literally and figuratively. And that's why I'm here, to encourage you to cultivate a fruitful life; whatever that looks like for you with your gifts, in your season, for the Glory of the God who loves you and made you. Won't you come along with me? I promise, we'll walk slowly.

Last week we heard these words of doubt: ‘I’m stumped.’ . . . From a doctor, especially your child’s doctor, these are not words you ever want to hear. . . . These days sometimes the fear threatens to eat me alive. But I am choosing moment by moment, to dwell in the truth that God works all things for the good of those who love him. (Romans 8:28) Even here, in the terrifying unknown. New post up on the blog today: When all is unknown and nothing feels comforting. Link in profile. (Photo c/o @unsplash and Rita Astrovitch )
Today I will choose where I put my hope. . . . I will refuse to put my hope in certain outcomes. I will refuse to put my hope in test results. I will refuse to put my hope in the immediate removal of our present suffering. I will refuse to let fear box me in and tell me that the way I would choose forward, is the only way. . . . Today I choose to put my hope in Jesus Christ, who gave us everything at the dearest cost. He who cares for the smallest of sparrows is caring for us and holding us. He already knows the outcome, and it is good. Today we choose to rest in His unfailing love. Love which doesn’t waver based on circumstance of season. Love which exists for me always in His presence whether I acknowledge it or not. Today I choose to LET THE PEACE OF CHRIST RULE in my heart and in my mind. . . . Today I get to choose. And so do you. What are you choosing today?
You are welcome. #isaiahselahkelley
This baby has been crawling for three weeks now, and I haven’t posted till now... I’ll probably be posting less and less often now that he’s mobile! Gotta make sure I keep up the vacuuming regimen!
It’s hard to grow where you are planted. Just a few weeks ago, I thought for sure my jasmine plant was dying. It was the transfer to the indoors, I thought. This summer, the jasmine soaked up all the sunshine and bloomed and thrived. But in Colorado the weather gets too cold to leave the jasmine outside, and a few months ago I moved her in. . . . She started dropping leaves left and right. Green ones that looked healthy enough, but for the dryness, the withering. She’s made this move before; from outside to indoors for winter, but never before has it affected her like this. She lost 1/3 of her leaves, and I feared this might be it. The last year of the jasmine plant I’ve so lovingly tended for the past three years. . . . But Hope starts small. And a week ago I noticed this flower shoots. And now, in the middle of a temperamental Colorado winter, she’s just about to bloom. . . . It’s hard to grow where you are planted. But oh so beautiful, when you do. #cultivatingafruitfullife
My name is Grace Kelley, and I’m a Hope*Writer. Two-ish years ago I made the decision to start taking myself more seriously as a writer, and joining Hope*Writers was my first big step. I haven’t once regretted it, and if you are teetering on the edge of decisions, I’m sure you won’t regret taking the leap either. I am learning a lot, and even when it feels like I still have more questions than answers about how to make this writing life a thing for me, I know I have all the resources at my finger tips. Tonight’s the last night to join until the next enrollment period! Check out @hopewriters for more info. #hopewriterlife #fridayintroductions
