Thoughtfully Established was started as a way of processing what it looks like to build a life—both theologically and practically—that’s grounded in the gospel.
As much as we want to have it all together, we often don’t. There are times when meal planning gets pushed aside for months, grocery shopping doesn’t happen for weeks, work creeps into family time, laundry piles up until it’s only done once a month, and exercise gets swapped for sitting on the couch.
We live in a world that constantly pushes us to do more and chase more. And I’ve often found myself wrestling with the tension between embracing the responsibilities I’ve been given and pursuing the passions that motivate and excite me. It’s easy to look at someone else’s life and wish for a change, or feel like you’re not doing enough, no matter how hard you try.
The purpose of this blog isn’t to tell you that you need to do more. Instead, it’s a reminder to thoughtfully establish your life on what matters most—the gospel. My hope is that as you read, you’ll be inspired to pause and reflect on what it might look like to build your own life and home on the gospel - to thoughtfully establish the everyday.
