To my friends, customers, and fellow travelers:

 

For over a decade, many of you have followed my journey outta the back of my vehicle—from the early days of GypSea JunkShop in 2012 to the transition into Ecliptic Rambler years later. We’ve crossed roughly 30 states together, and I'm so very grateful for all of the support you’ve shown my art.

 

As many of you know, I’ve always been

a truth seeker, but as I’ve grown, my understanding of that truth has changed profoundly.  For quite some time, I looked to crystals, astrology, and divination for answers and healing. While I believed at the time that these were ways to connect with God, I’ve come to realize [with His Grace and Mercy] that I was focusing on the creation rather than the Creator Himself.

With that said, I want to sincerely apologize for leading you astray from The Real Truth. My intentions were always to help, but I now recognize that true peace and guidance doesn't come from the stars or stones, but through a relationship with our Heavenly Father.

 

In 2023, the Lord began quietly calling me back to Him. In April of 2024, I came back home to my church family. I prayed for Him to intervene in my life, and on September 1st, 2024, I chose a life of sobriety. 

 

“But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom” (2 Corinthians 3:16-17).

 

Seventeen days later, I discovered I was pregnant. At the time, I didn’t realize that He had answered my prayers in the most profound way imaginable.  On November 10, 2024, I was baptized as a new creation in Christ.

 

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

 

In a way, I’d like to say the “Rambler” is still here, but that part of my story was only a stepping stone to my true identity. I’m no longer “living on the edge of a dollar” or working to wander to the next place; He's given me a new purpose and a deep desire to build my life on His foundation. 

 

“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock” (Matthew 7:24–25).

 

I’ll still be twistin’ dyes and weavin’ hemp, but they’ll now be crafted with a heart of worship and excellence. 

 

“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.” (Colossians 3:23-24)

 

As for now, my main focus is a project The Lord has put upon my heart — a planner/journal hybrid. I like to call it a “journey journal”. Think of it as not so much a ‘to-do’ list, but a ‘to-be’ journey. I'm designing it for those who want to move away from worldly distractions and to intentionally grow closer to God every single day of the year. I pray it’ll touch your life as deeply as it has mine. 

 

This project wasn't my idea; it was another answered prayer.  Around January 6th, 2025, I asked the Lord to place in my mind what to focus on in order to provide for my daughter from home. Two days later, on January 8th, I wrote in my journal how inspired I had become overnight. My passion for art came flooding back! Then that Sunday at church, January 11th, I was called to the front and handed a notepad and a pen. I was told that God was speaking to me and to write down what He said.  I haven’t put the pen down since.

 

I’ve realized that my life isn’t about the miles I cover anymore, but about the legacy I’m leaving for my daughter, Honey Lee. 

 

“Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward”  (Psalm 127:3).

 

I want my work to be a "ripple" — starting with the grace God has shown me, reaching Honey Lee as she grows, and eventually touching you.  Because of this, I’m changing my shop from the inside, out — starting with the name: “Ripples of His Honey.”

 

"But he would feed you with the finest of the wheat, and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you" (Psalm 81:16).

God is fulfilling His promise of 'honey from the rock' now that I've turned back to Him. It's a reminder that God can bring sweetness out of any “rocky” place. This is also a tribute to my daughter, the little girl He's blessed me with and has used to guide me back to Him. 

"And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28).

Thank you for being part of my story through all its twists and turns. I'm excited to share this new chapter with you and to walk this path toward the Truth together.

With love and grace,

Cait & Honey Lee

 

 

 

As I finished this letter, I counted the number of Scriptures I used: Seven. The number of perfection. 

 

Then as I reread it again, I remembered our last Bible study of 2025. Brother Greg had asked we bring a scripture with us that resonated with either that year or the year to come, and I chose Joel 2:25. Now I add verse 26.

 

“I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter, my great army, which I sent among you.  You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of The Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously with you. And my people shall never again be put to shame” (Joel 2:25-26).

 

I count again and that’s number eight: New Beginnings.
I also counted the number of times I referred to God. 45: Preservation.
