Welcome to Amblefield.
I’m Alle — I’ve loved Jesus for over 25 years of my life, but I’m continually learning what it means to walk closely with Him.
I live in the Heartland of America in the same mid-century ranch I grew up in that is now filled with five boys — my lion-hearted man, our three sons, and a Golden Retriever. This makes for lots of noisy afternoons, hundreds of LEGOs underfoot, and dozens of fur tumbleweeds rolling across my floor. My husband and I are second-generation homeschoolers, so settling into a lifestyle that featured home education was a natural fit and we’ve done so from the very beginning.
In our family, we speak often of making our home a Light in the Gathering Darkness. We work together to intentionally create spaces and opportunities that serve as invitations for rest and encouragement — for others and for ourselves. As the digital caretaker for this online space, my desire is for you to discover a similar Light for the aims of motherhood, home education, and simple living through the words and resources shared here.
“When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from His glorious, unlimited resources He will empower you with inner strength through His Spirit. Then Christ will make His home in your hearts as you trust in Him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to Him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.”
