Who I Am

My name is Mykaela Orwig, and I am 27 years old. I am striving with everything in me to make my life a beautiful song for my Lord! I am the oldest of 8, I married my best friend in October of 2018, and I've been a daughter of The King for 17 years. You can read the story of how I came to know The Saviour here. My husband Luke (read more about how we met here) and I have two precious sons, Eben Gray and Nathaniel Cedric.

Random things I love include dates of any kind with my incredible husband, playing piano, writing songs, hand lettering and calligraphy, watercolor painting, baking, dark chocolate, embroidery, espresso, stargazing on the roof, apples, thrift store shopping, bowling, hiking, and playing games with friends and family. (I have really awesome in-laws, by the way! :) I run an Etsy store, which you can check out here. I am also passionately interested in the world of natural birth, and home birth in specific. Not something I ever thought I would say, but after experiencing the joy of birthing both of my sons at home, (read my birth stories here and here), I will never see the birthing process in the same way again, and love to study about all things natural birth! :) I'm happy, random, and super adventurous...you invite me to do something crazy and spontaneous, I'll probably be up for it. ;)

I began Making Music for The Master at the beginning of 2016, for several reasons. One was so I could try to be an influence on people that I couldn't reach otherwise. I have many friends that do not live anywhere close to me, and sometimes it can be a challenge to keep in touch consistently. Through this blog, I can post my thoughts on lots of issues that we probably would have not discussed during the short times we see each other in person. :) My seasons of life have shifted over the years I have run this blog, from single young lady to married and mama to two little ones. This being the case, my post topics have shifted as well, (and have become much less frequent than previously! A girl does what she can. ;) Thank you to all those who have stuck with me!

Thank you so much for taking the time to check out my blog. I hope that you are blessed and uplifted through it. Come again soon!
Love,
Mykaela
