When I decided to be a Vagabond.

I have done things the way I felt God directed me in my life the best I knew at any time. My love for God compels me to serve Him as my King. I love God. He saved me from destruction and my own devices. I was hurting so bad, that I was on a self destruct mission until I met God in a personal way and believed Jesus died for me and lives today.

John 3:16 

I had 3 cesarian sections and 2 home births because I learned a better way to birth.  I learned from a Chiropractor in Tucson that our bodies can handle the stress of birth and after surgery, the scar tissue is stronger than regular skin and I could trust my body to birth naturally. I am so glad I met this Chiropractor and how he helped our family.

I homeschooled, I lived an independent life of teaching the most precious people in my life. Some things that mattered: Kindness, respect, forgiveness, care, math, science and reading to name a few. 

We declined all vaccines starting in 1989. I have been grateful no one has gotten ill or diseased in the last 30 years. I learned to trust my body, the things I'd learned about health and how to reduce inflammation, fever and how to know when I could do no more. 

My daughter had pneumonia a few years ago and the way we chose to help her was with Essential Oils, liquids, rest, help, diffusing oils and drinking juices. I am not recommending this to you, because my training started 25 years before this event. I had faith in my skill level and not much faith in meds as the first line of defense. Maybe as a secondary measure, but not first. As a note, she just finished 4 weeks of training and she ran long and hard and apart from a tiny cough after she was finished, she had no problem with her lungs. Her lungs were fine and had no damage from pneumonia. 

For a year I have seen a Chiropractor for my health instead of western medicine. Opting for Acupressure/ Laser, AK, instead of medicines and surgery and recovery and problems.  I have more faith in our body to heal if it's given the tools it needs than medicine and doctors who are not sure what to do. I had a frozen shoulder, a heart that was weak, emotional pains, a gut that was not absorbing food and now I am doing really well. 


I started being a single mom July of 1999 and had moved back to my hometown during a marriage separation and subsequent divorce and I began praying I could move to my own place one day. I prayed and prayed and prayed for 20 years. My plans are not sudden, they are just quick. Here we are 20 years later, I am leaving alone. 

I had tried to feel good about moving to MT years ago, but I never had any peace about it. I knew with such a journey, I would need to stand by faith on my decision and be able to feel confident in the decision. Waiting was good, not easy, but better than being on my own. I have made decisions based on what I thought was good then and ended up with a health problem. 
1. Burned leg, 2-3 degree burn
2. A freak accident that severed my tendon in my thumb.
3. Pancreatitis helped me to see I needed to eat better.

When in doubt DON'T Just Don't do it, or follow your own thoughts. The consequences can be quite severe. This is a lesson in itself. Waiting for God to move you is not easy on the flesh, but its so needed. 
James 4:17 

I am praising God daily for the time, the time is right. I am so peaceful and joyful. The result of doing things 
His way is Peace.

I have friends who are unsure, for me and about my decision. I am ok with that since no one can know what is God's plan for anyone. Sometimes as a believer it's difficult to discern a right path, but I found waiting and prayer is a good start to our trying to understand God's plan. 

I am a vagabond, A gypsy, A missionary, An adventurer, a traveler, A person that loves to experience new things and new sights. The waiting and resting and recovery has been so hard, but then dying is not easy. We die to ourselves daily to what we think, want, need, feel. 

I felt at one time I needed cash coming in so I could be comfortable and not 'lacking'. 
God knew my learning to trust Him for food, cash, provision of any type was a higher call. I am glad I went with His plan. 

My future is His, I trust His plan because I love God. I know His plan is for my good and not evil, for Truth and not lies. I know His plan is to promote His Kingdom and for Life and Godliness. I agree and I will follow willingly into the unknown. 

I look forward to some hobbies: pottery, photography, walking, playing in the sand, and just enjoying LIFE.

I have a new hobby of pottery and throwing clay on the wheel I hope to explore that more as I travel. I know three people that have their own studios and I hope to find others with the same passion. Is it God's plan for a studio, in my future? Time will tell.

I am in His plan, I agree with Him and now is the time. 
Esther 4:14. 

I decided 20 years ago to not stay in California, it's just taken 20 years to prepare me. I started being a Vagabond July 1999.

I am now leaving, as a Vagabond for Christ. 

Some of my future dreams are:
Build a Straw Bale home or Cob home, have a pottery studio, a chapel and a place of retreat from the city and hustle and bustle in life living off grid. I hope to find land with a peaceful river going by so fishing is part of the plan too. 

I would be content if my Straw Bale home never materialized, or the plans I have dreamed because if you had asked me if I would be content as a vagabond I might have said yes, but I dreamed of building a home first. This journey is a first, and my life is a first. I will go enjoy nature and God in nature. 😍

 I hope it inspires you to get out and camp, visit the ocean or just lay under the stars and see His creation around you.
