My husband’s last name means brown bear. There are six of us Bruinius bears here in this house. Hence, this blog is named after my family! Welcome!
Let’s learn about life, the Bible, the God who saves, and suffering—hand in hand.
I invite you to join me in learning about life, the Word of God, and suffering. I’m so glad you are here. You are welcome.
What You’ll Find Here
Bible & Faith
I love studying the Word of God and sharing what I’m learning along the way.
Life & Suffering
I want to share what I’m learning about walking with God in the middle of pain, hard things, ordinary days, and everything in between.
Encouragement & Hope
I hope that what you find here encourages you to keep going, keep learning, and above all, keep your eyes on Jesus.
