Welcome to The Lovely Crux Journal
A JOURNAL TO AWAKEN YOUR HOPEFUL SOUL
A little about me…and You!
My name is Michelle Owenby. I am a child of God. Lover of the stars, the seas + the mountains. A wife. A mother. A daughter. A friend. A Southerner. A student of all that intrigues me. A traveler. A muser. A singer of songs. A seeker of truth + knowledge. An artist. A writer. A mentor.
A recent spiritual revelation brought forth a whole new direction to my life; it awakened the parts of me that had been lulled to sleep since my childhood (you can read all about that here). This has ignited a fire in me that is involuntarily expressed through my artistic work. The Lord put new purpose, passion + meaning in my life that I simply can't help but respond to in gratitude + awe.Â
Does your hopeful soul need inspiration + encouragement? Are you longing for a simple + significantly illuminated life?  Would you like to awaken + experience joy, peace, freedom, passion + love in tangible ways?
I want to share something with you: I was that woman - I still am that woman! I’ve been on a journey towards those things + I want to share that with you.
It is my hope, by sharing in this journey, your life is transformed to reveal or remind you of your significance in Christ. I want your longing heart to see the beauty of a surrendered + soulful life. Let’s go there. Together.

Michelle
P.s. Share the journey
Our journey is just beginning + I'm so glad you are a part of it. Thank you for being such a vital part of this beautiful community of soulful people. And, if you're like me, you always have a friend you want to bring along with you.
Or even better, gift them a subscription with all the goodness.
Oh, + listen, if you really want + need these spiritual lifestyle resources + encouragement, but it would be a burden for you financially, please let me know. I would never want anyone to miss out on being encouraged in a deeper spiritual relationship.
The subscription fee helps me cover the costs of creating, hosting + presenting these resources. My goal is to avoid being swept into the advertising abyss that is such an overwhelming part of social media + at the same time, provide you a place where you feel nurtured, respected + safe.
By supporting me, you are allowing tons of others to benefit from the resources I am sharing. It helps me continue cultivating + creating all the good stuff without dancing too closely with the marketing + social algorithm-machine much of our world has become. You become a force in the Kingdom alongside me; a sharer + doer of the Word.
And remember, even unpaid subscribers still get the monthly Soulful Series Edition newsletter, public journal entries + a few other worthy updates.
