Hi, my name is Carrye and I’m so glad you’re here. One of the secret benefits of a bio page is that I can introduce myself without any hint of social awkwardness. (You’re welcome!)
I’m a extrovert pastor’s daughter who grew up and married an introvert architect. (I’m the crazy dreamer, he’s the patient voice of reason.) We have three kids, through birth and adoption, which will always be close to our hearts. Parenting has shown me my weaknesses like nothing else could, but there’s a lot of love there! Here we are, beautiful imperfections and all!
What more? (Do intros stress anyone else out?) I’m a type-1 diabetic which is a daily challenge. But like most hard places in my life, it has brought me to deep dependence on God and pushes me to live a bit bigger. Maybe you can relate?
Some of my favorite things are writing, singing, and talking with friends (bonus points if lattes are involved.) I’m also learning guitar because I believe everyone should have a hobby that keeps them humble.
Somewhere through this journey I’ve encountered Jesus and I can’t shake Him. I can’t imagine a day without His presence, and I’m daily learning to let Him show me a different way to live…a way that asks me to give up the world to find something better than the world could ever give.
What about LESS to be MORE? This blog is about our letting go of our “less” to experience “more” by:
-Being vulnerable and honest about our mistakes, fears, and questions (our less), to find more hope, community, and faith.
-Giving up the things that keep us from living fully (less) in order to experience more joy, purpose, and life.
-Learning to let go and laugh at the little things (less) to gain more whimsy and perspective.
-Allowing our hearts to focus less on ourselves alone, and learn to love and serve the world around us (more).
I’m so glad you’re here, and I hope to hear some of your less to be more stories soon!
-Carrye
