Hello, beautiful souls!
I’m Dana Shepple, and I’m beyond excited to welcome you to Renewed and Rooted Life, a space created with your soul in mind. I’m thrilled to welcome you to the very first post of Renewed and Rooted Life. This space was created with you in mind—the woman who is seeking to live a life of deep renewal, connection, and soulful joy—I’m so glad you’re here. This blog is not just about words on a screen—it’s about building a community of women who are committed to living a faith-filled, vibrant, and balanced life. If you’ve found yourself feeling weary, overwhelmed, or disconnected, you’re not alone. Life can often leave us feeling scattered, but God offers us a beautiful invitation to slow down, reconnect, and rest in His presence. This is what Renewed and Rooted Life is all about: intentionally creating moments where we can anchor our hearts in His love and renew our spirits in His peace.
The Vision Behind Renewed and Rooted Life
When I created Renewed and Rooted Life, my heart was simple yet profound: I wanted to offer a space for women to come together and be encouraged—not only in their spiritual walks but in every aspect of life. I believe that when we take the time to nurture our souls, we grow stronger in our faith, deeper in our relationships, and more empowered in every area of life.
I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed—juggling responsibilities, caring for loved ones, and managing the many demands life places on us. It’s easy to feel scattered or disconnected, especially when we don’t make space to tend to our own well-being. But I’m here to tell you that you matter. Your soul matters. Your peace matters. Your joy matters.
At Renewed and Rooted Life, we’ll focus on nurturing your whole being—mind, body, and spirit. We’ll dive deep into spiritual growth through faith and prayer, but we’ll also explore practical ways to live a life that reflects God’s purpose for you, whether that’s through parenting, financial empowerment, healthy living, or creating a home filled with love and purpose. My vision is that this space will not only be a source of inspiration but also a place of practical tools, encouragement, and community.
What You Can Expect: A Holistic Approach to Life
- Spiritual Growth and Nurturing Your Soul: First and foremost, we will always be rooted in faith. God’s love and grace are the foundation of everything we do. We’ll talk about how to nurture your soul through daily prayer, scripture, rest, and worship. I’ll be sharing personal reflections, devotional insights, and prayer prompts that help us grow deeper in our relationship with God. You’ll find encouragement to pause, reflect, and center your heart on His peace.
- Parenting with Purpose and Faith: As women, we often wear many hats—one of the most significant being the role of a mother or caregiver. I’ll share tips on how to parent with purpose and intentionality, grounded in faith. Whether you’re navigating the challenges of young children or the complexities of raising teens, you’ll find posts that speak to your heart, helping you find joy in the everyday moments of parenting and empowering you to raise your children with love and wisdom.
- Empowering Your Finances and Creating Financial Freedom: One area I’m deeply passionate about is financial empowerment. I believe that financial freedom is an important aspect of living a fulfilling life—one that’s not burdened by financial stress. Whether you’re looking for ways to better manage your money, create a budget, save for the future, or even start your own business, we’ll explore these topics in-depth. You’ll find tips, tools, and personal stories about how to manage finances with wisdom and faith.
- Creating a Healthy Lifestyle: Our bodies are temples, and taking care of them is a way to honor God’s gift of life. We’ll discuss practical ways to nurture your physical health, from nutrition and fitness to self-care and rest. You’ll find recipes, wellness tips, and inspiration to create a lifestyle that leaves you feeling energized and vibrant.
- Cultivating a Joyful Home and Lifestyle: The way we live day-to-day can deeply impact our well-being. Together, we’ll explore ways to create a home that feels peaceful and welcoming, even in the chaos. Whether it’s through organizing, decorating, or simply slowing down to savor moments, I’ll share ideas that help you create a space that’s both functional and filled with beauty.
The Heart Behind It All
At the heart of Renewed and Rooted Life is a deep desire to see you live a life that reflects your true worth. You are a woman of purpose. You are a woman deeply loved by God. And you deserve a life that is not only spiritually rich but also practically fulfilling. You don’t have to choose between faith and the everyday demands of life. In fact, I believe that when we integrate our faith into all that we do—whether it’s raising children, managing finances, or building our careers—we experience a fullness and richness that is beyond what we can imagine.
I am so honored to be on this journey with you. I can’t wait to share more with you, hear your stories, and build this community of strong, empowered women who are truly rooted in the love of God.
Thank you for being here. My prayer for you is that you would feel encouraged, inspired, and ready to nurture your soul and live a life filled with peace, joy, and purpose. Let’s walk this journey together—rooted in faith, renewed in spirit, and empowered in every area of our lives.
With love and grace, Dana Shepple
