Faith and Farming

Hey y’all! I’m Kimi, a suburban housewife turned accidental farm girl. It was never my intent to leave the ease of my well-manicured life for the pursuit of something wild and free.

In fact, leaping off the edge of impossible and living with abandon always felt like something for someone else – not for me. I was wading in the shallows, never believing that diving deeper was possible for a girl like me.

I wanted that kind of faith, that pursuit of Jesus with reckless love, bounding headlong into the kind of peace and joy I knew could be mine, if I’d just trust Him enough to follow. The hesitation in my soul was everything I needed to shake. I had a form of faith that felt routine, comfortable, cultural, and safe, but I was stuck. I needed an intervention; I just didn’t know it.

My parents’ divorce in my 30s rattled me to the core of my faith. Hardships and grief that followed tried to rob me of my peace. Isolation threatened to steal my joy. And even so, God saw me where I was and led me beyond my brokenness into an adventure I had only dreamed of.

Through therapy, farming, and a whole lot of Jesus, I have found a freedom in my faith and in how I live my life I never thought possible.

This is my story. Of faith. Of farming. Of diving into streams of blessing that can only be found by taking that step off the shore and into deeper water.
