Heather's Refinement Blog
I’m an obsessive reader and researcher, who can’t stop thinking about how we can do better, be healthier, savor this beautiful life, create and produce, and bring God more glory! Whether it’s the topic of vaccines, bringing up Godly kids, the way church is done, how to make a beautiful home, what Biblical femininity looks like, how to grow healthy food and make it taste wonderful, whether we should avoid the medical establishment, how to induce a love for learning in children, or whether our nation needs more liberty — it’s all up for discussion with me! I want to see our home overflowing with LIFE and an abundance of LOVE, and I want our children to be raised to think for themselves and rise up to their mighty calling from God!

For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are w...
*****I wrote this about nine months after we lost Grace, when I was miscarrying a baby once again. It's pretty cool to see how God has redeemed our story now -- four healthy living babies later!*****
"I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of Him... My heart rejoices in the Lord." - 1 Samuel 1:27 & 2:1
First Trimester
From day one, I was blessed with the perfect pregnancy. I got an enormous thril...
To understand ME, you'll need to know about my Grace. She was my first daughter. She was one of God's best gifts to me, one of the biggest joys of my life, and she left our world far too soon for us.
