When the Notes app just won’t do anymore

Why don’t you start a blog?

If you’re reading this, you are either my mom, my Facebook friend, or someone I sent a link to with the quiet request that you look for leftover typos.

This is technically my first shot at blogging, though I have been writing devotionals and life snippets on my Instagram for the last 5 years or so (you can find me at @kayleylikescats).

What do you need to know about me? Nothing, really, but I’ll tell you anyway.

My name is Kayley Wilson, and I live in a small, semi-rural town on the Central California coast. I say semi-rural since we have chickens, but I’m also only a 5-minute drive from grabbing a flat white from that cute, local, totally unique coffee shop down the road called Starbucks.

I live for planting seeds in the sandy earth and waiting to see what comes up, which doesn’t necessarily make me a good gardener, but a very enthusiastic one. My safe-haven, prayer room, jam-session spot, and the place of my re-conversion is my vegetable garden, and I like to spend as much time as I can there, sipping coffee and watching my corgi, Hermione, zip around the yard.

For the last year and a half I have been working toward my MA in Biblical Studies, but prior to that I was an English major moonlighting as a Bible major (aka making all my papers about Christ-figures and reading Peter Leithart articles on my breaks between essays).

These days you can find me teaching, running, baking bread, and trying to learn the guitar intro to “Dust in the Wind.”

I love classic rock, a good taco plate, and any opportunity I can get to talk about Jesus, who has captured my heart and haunted my life with his beauty and grace.

I’m so glad you’re here.

Enjoy!
