The Desires of Your ❤
Have you ever seen a piece of satire that hits a little too close to home? One of my friends recently sent me this excerpt from a young, married, Christian blogger.
A Vibrant Life
Is life becoming bland? Are you sick of mercilessly going through the motions of a daily routine? Do you miss the vibrancy of childhood; running freely during kindergarden recess? Playing with blocks and building castles? Playing princess with your besties outside amongst the trees? Making “houses” out of leaves during autumn, and snow angels during the winter snow season?
A Missional Word
Restore. What does that word stir up in you? For my husband and me, it was the missional word for our home last year. Yep, you heard right- we had a mission in the first year of marriage. During the first month of marriage, my husband and I realized our mutual desire to serve people through the gift of our home. I am the visionary out of the two of us—others may call this the idealistic dreamer.
Worship Gone Wrong
Finding security in oneself is a tricky thing to do. As humans, we are always falling down. When I look back on some of my experiences both in my personal life, and as someone who mentors and counsels others, I see a theme throughout humanity: we try to rely solely on ourselves and we never have enough strength, enough forgiveness, and ultimately we are always slaves to our own devices.
Mrs. Wisconsin
It's no question that Britani D'Alie is strikingly beautiful. When D'Alie walks (or glides, rather) into a room, eyes tend to linger a while on the tall, gorgeous blonde.
D'Alie was crowned Mrs. Wisconsin 2015, filling her agenda with appearances, parades, banquets, and events. She competed in Mrs. United States in Las Vegas and won the title of second-runner-up against all fifty women.
The Book of Ruth
It’s easy to praise God when we see blessings in our lives.
What’s not so easy is remembering He is working all things for our good when time has passed without hearing from Him or seeing anything change in the hard times. It’s easy to question if He’s really listening or cares about us.
Becoming Proverbs 31
Growing up, I always felt the need to have a boyfriend. Once I accepted Christ as my personal Savior three years ago, I took the plunge and decided to try my hand at living the single life with a single focus: Jesus.
Velvet Coated Steel
Figure out the type of woman you want to become, and then become her.
Waiting on "The One"
I'm a total foodie, so naturally one of my favorite things to do is cook. Not so much bake – but cook. I love cooking pesto chicken and lemon baked tilapia and roasted acorn squash and turkey meatballs and, well, basically anything nourishing and healthy.
So, yes, I like to cook. One problem I often have, however, is how expensive food can be! Especially considering I like to buy organic, healthy foods as much as possible.
Ditchin' the Crowds
The religion of this world is conformity. That being said, it's sometimes hard living as a 24 year old gal trying to find my place. I obviously don't want to be an oddball, but I want to make informed, wise decisions to pave a strong foundation for my life.
I want to be my own person and follow God's call wherever He leads no matter how silly I may look to others. But frankly, when we look closer at "normality" in todays society - they're often the silly ones.
