1 Week, No Social Media
I know, it sounds absolutely terrifying. At least to me it did. Since I was 15, I had not gone a day without social media: Instagram, Twitter, SnapChat, and of course Facebook. Part of it was because I've moved all over the country and my family and friends are in this state and that. I mean, how else should I keep up with my loved ones?

Growing Your Self-Confidence
When we first begin our relationship with God, it’s amazing how the Holy Spirit becomes our guide and teaches us how to become more like Him. For me, I never realized how much I lacked self-confidence until God started to reveal my identity in Him. I am still learning what it means to live and walk in freedom, but I’ve learned a few life lessons along the way about how to be my true self or my Christ-confident self.
Staying Rooted in ✝ on Social Media
The Lord speaks about living truthfully and full of praise, and social media is a wonderful avenue to share His love. I definitely want to note that I am not an expert – I have many imperfections, I am so hard on myself at times, and I am always learning, but I pray we can take these truths and wisdom from our Creator into our day to day, and even tuck them in our back pocket for when we need a reminder in the incredible days to come that He's paved before us.
Enjoy these tips to keep Christ at the forefront online and in "real life!"
Getting Out of a Rut
Have you ever felt yourself falling into a rut - whether that be physically, emotionally, creatively, or spiritually? Yeah, me too. To be honest, I'm in the process of coming out of one right now. There are times in all of our lives when we feel disconnected. We still walk into work every morning, go to church every week, do our thing, sing our songs, and maybe even attempt to work on something we have been passionate about in the past - but something still feels different, something is a bit off. You're in a rut.
What Are You Consuming?
Have you ever considered the effect that television show you’re watching has on you? I remember, a few months ago, I “binged-watched” an entire first season of a horror show in one weekend. I know, I know — productive much?
Invest In Yourself
When it comes to investments, one of the best you can make is in yourself! But all too often, investing in ourselves is a low-priority item; something we think about doing someday.
Beauty Rest 101
I hit a cycle a few years back that was other-worldly. Fueled by inspiration and embarrassing amounts of caffeine (mind the word “feine” in the coffee reference), I found myself sleeping less as the hazing hours of 11pm, 12am, and 1am took on a new posture for me. These twilight sparkling hours were my most creatively productive pockets of time. Until, I started getting sick. Nothing major. Colds, really. Annoying sniffles and coughs that wouldn’t break up, and brain fog. Lots and lots of brain fog.
Hosting A BFF Holiday Homecoming
How do you stay connected to your long-distance friends?
Maybe your friends are former roommates from college, the dorky kid who lived next door when you were 5, or the elderly couple who adopted you while you lived states away from your parents. How do you honor these relationships that God clearly used to mold you into the adult you are today? Especially when you don’t see or communicate with theses people often.
Confidence in ☼ or ☂
We have all had those days when we don’t feel as confident as usual, and we start to wonder if we’re good enough. As women, it may seem like we are constantly comparing ourselves to others and underestimating the value we have.
