a story of living an obedient life, one step at a time

Hi, I'm Brianna.

God has me on a crazy journey, one I surrendered to long ago. I’ve always lived my life chasing those nudges. My intuition, which I now recognize as the Holy Spirit on fire within me. I always knew things would work out, no matter what situation I found myself in. Those around me often questioned my leaps, and I’m sure my mom would have rather I just lived a “safe” life. This blog is the story of living a life of obedience, even when we’re just given one step at a time.

Wife

My husband and I have known each other since we were 11, but we weren’t ready for each other until now. In the very cool way only God can orchestrate, we found what we’d been looking for was in front of us the whole time. We were married in September of 2016.

Mama

We have four kids in our crazy beautiful blended family. They range in age from 9 to 16, and though it’s been a chaotic, messy ride, we have found our way by God’s grace.

Creative

I can’t stop creating. Art, crafty things, writing, photography, it doesn’t matter. It fuels me and fills me. I have an arts ministry at Painted Prayers, Inc, and my husband and I share our projects at Grit and Grace Artistry on Facebook.

Warrior

I battle chronic illness. I’ve been diagnosed with lupus (SLE) and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and a string of other issues that come along with those disorders. Our whole world right now is about adjusting to life with ongoing illness and finding a “new normal” for our family.
