About This Mess

My name is Kate, and I’m a mother of two and wife of one.  I started blogging while in college, needing a place to vent and really just create.  Farrago means “a confused mixture, a hodgepodge.”  This is definitely a great description of me.  Although I am a confused mixture, I am also a beautiful mess, and when I spew my thoughts, it comes out poetic and soulful.  Or sarcastic and strange, depending on my mood.  I am a hodgepodge that’s being transformed into something ordered and sanctified, but my journey is far from over.

I am a musician and songwriter who loves to be involved in worship music, I am a worship leader and know that’s what God has called me to.  I also give music lessons on the side.  I am a writer who is currently writing a book or two and who writes on like 47 blogs.  I am a professional graphic designer.  After changing my major a million times, I finally settled on studying history, anthropology, and creative writing at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.  Yes I am a die-hard Husker fan.   I read A TON and co-created a book review blog and website, once upon a time.

I also have a huge heart for teen girls that feel that deep longing, a yearning, to create.  I’m looking for a way to serve them as well, and sometimes contribute to Delight (delightandbe.com), which is a fantastic organization!

I’ve come into the belief that God has created me to create for Him.  He has called me to do these things by giving me a desire and a passion, and I cling to that wholeheartedly.  I am His, and He is mine, and acknowledging this has brought me here to write and share.

Everything on this website falls into three categories:  life (how God is moving, faith, and life happenings), writing (musings, poetry, nonchalance), and health (diets, my experiences, different conditions, whatever comes into my life).
