Dear Friend,
Yes, a new page for you. Because it is for you. I do not have much to give, but what I hope to give most is from Him Crucified. When the world tears and scrapes and runs you ragged I hope when you search for comfort you will find Him in the real and true things of this life. That when people and wars and hurting come with harsh words and yelling voices you will find healing in quiet whispers and gentle callings.
"And I...did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God." 1 Corinthians 2:1-5
This is my manifesto. Simple words, simple stories. No miraculous wisdom, no phenomenal descriptions. Just life, pure and simple. When it is hard and when there's fear, and when we're too weak to lift ourselves.
Thank you for dropping by, friend. Would you look at the new books page up on the tab line? When the blackest days come, and on the "how could the stars ever shine again?" nights, may this be a place where you can grasp beauty again through a Man sacrificed.
Love,
Kayla

A new page to this life of mine, and the blog
K.M. Updike writes young adult and historical fiction and has a frustrating fascination with fantasies that gets in the way a lot. She is the author of the young adult historical fiction novelette, The Life and Death of Terry Dodd. A lover of books and prairies, she lives with her five siblings and inspiring parents in the wilds of the Great Plains. Besides reading books and writing stories, she loves watching old movies and drinking tea in her basement room dubbed "Mole End."
