Aaron, Lindsay & Karis Edmonds – Fall 2008

My name is Lindsay Edmonds and I am the blessed wife of Aaron and mother to our little girl, Karis Ruth (born May 2007) and our little boy, Titus Christopher (born March 4, 2009). We reside in the beautiful Northwest (Southwest Washington) and enjoy the bounties of God’s creation in this part of the country. Most importantly, we are Bible-believing Christians seeking to follow the Lord with all our hearts. Currently, I teach classical piano very limited part-time from my home, while managing my home, serving my husband, and caring for our children.

Welcoming Titus - March 2009

I am a home school graduate, sister to 7 siblings, auntie to four, and and the blessed daughter of two godly parents.

My husband, Aaron, is a self-employed computer programmer and a wonderful father. He works from home, which is a huge blessing. He serves us so faithfully! He developed and maintains Christa Taylor (my sister and family run modest clothing business). We are currently in process of transitioning into full time ministry as techno-missionaries, using Aaron’s computer skills to serve the cause of world missions in the church, mission agencies, and missionaries. We also help serve in mobilizing and increasing mission awareness in our church and city. We love serving in this way!

My heart’s desire is to grow deeper in my knowledge of our great and mighty Savior as I apply His truth to my role as wife and mother. I love writing and am passionate about the home and encouraging other wives and mothers in this pursuit of glorifying God together.

I am always learning how I can be more frugal, and nutritious in my cooking and lifestyle, and enjoy it greatly. Eating nutritionally and living naturally on a budget is my vision for my homemaking. I desire to eat whole real foods to best equip our bodies for the Lord’s work, not to extend one day of my life, but that we might be more fit and ready to serve our Savior.

Our vision is to live simply and sustainably so we can give generously for the furtherance of the gospel to the nations! We are striving to be good stewards of the earth that God has placed under our care, and love exploring how to re-use anything and everything, or replace it altogether with a non-disposable ;) So yes, you can say we are trying to live green!

I hold highly the design God has fashioned for women to be homemakers and I cherish this calling. My heart’s cry is to be a woman who cultivates community and compassion in the domain of home, church, and neighborhood (extending to the unsaved), and that is why I eagerly seek to minister as much as possible from my primary domain within the home, alongside my husband and with my child.

I would love for you to join me as I journal how God is shaping and refining me more into His image, and may you be blessed and encouraged in the journey as well!
