Welcome to Edifying Pen
This is a space to be encouraged through creativity and faith. I’m Anna — a Canadian writer, teacher, and follower of Jesus, living and doing ministry in the country of Georgia. I write about faith, creativity, mental health, and the beauty of ordinary life surrendered to God.
Whether you’re a fellow creative, a seeker, or just someone who stumbled here — you’re welcome. Get a tea or a coffee or really any drink lol, and pull up a chair 😊☕
