Imagine you are a parent with several children and today is your third day in… … Continue reading →

There are certain places that always make me uncomfortable-tattoo parlors, hospitals, and craft stores. I don’t know why so many women LOVE craft stores!I don’t even know where to begin in those stores. I feel like an alien on a foreign planet when I’m there, but at the same time I weirdly feel the need to “blend in” as if I am totally comfortable and just finished my 200th pinterest project.

Dating When You Are Married? WHAT?!

Dating When You Are Married? WHAT?! I have always hoped that I could get out of the “dating world” once I got married. Dating can be expensive and time consuming, yet the author of this article argues that once you get married it should continue! I realized that I haven’t been viewing dating properly. Dating should be pursuing and winning each other’s hearts and that should not stop after marriage. This article provided a fresh… … Continue reading →

The hardest lesson I learned in 2013

The hardest lesson I learned in 2013On his blog, Jon Acuff recently shared the hardest lesson he learned in 2013. I feel like I learned lots of hard lessons last year, but the greatest one is:Trusting God and following His plan doesn’t necessarily make things easier. I don’t know where I heard it or when I started believing it, but I thought that when you obeyed God you were blessed. However, obedience to God is sort… … Continue reading →
