Last week, Courtney of womenlivingwell.org (home of Good Morning Girls – the community and bible study I’ve been a part of for several months now) started a new series called Giving Thanks for the Ordinary. Piggy backing off of her October series, Making Your Home a Haven, Courtney encourages us to light a candle in […]
Thankful Thursday: Close Friends
Pearson and I spent this past weekend in a cabin in the middle of the woods near Hocking Hills State Park. It was a great and relaxing weekend among God’s creation with wonderful friends. It fulfilled our need for some R and R! Today I am thankful for those friends. They are the kind of […]
How to Give Thanks in All Circumstances
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 ESV (click to tweet) Give thanks in all circumstances? Well that seems rather impossible, doesn’t it? How can we be thankful when things are going terribly? The thing is, it’s really not that complicated when you really […]
Thankful Thursday Party – August 2015 {link up}
Pearson and I moved to Ohio at the beginning of August, three years ago. We got married on July 14th and two weeks later, we moved about 600 miles away from all the family and friends we ever knew. A lot of people told us on social media that they were praying for us during […]
Goodbye 2014
While 2014 is quickly coming to a close, I’d like to take a little time to reflect on the best parts of this year. I’ve done this the last 2 years here and here and it’s always fun to look back. So lets start, shall we? These are in no particular order! Favorite Events Spending […]
Thankful Thursday Party – August
It’s that time again! Time for the monthly #ThankfulThursdayParty link up! This month I have been thankful for a lot of things. It really was hard to pick just one for the link up. But I have decided to talk about my health. Lately I’ve been making a point to be more active. I’ve been […]
40 Days With Jesus – The End of a Lent Journey
On Ash blessWednesday, I started going through my 40 Days with Jesus journal from Naptime Diaries (the journal is not dated so you can still get one and start it any time). This study was such a blessing. Not only was the content great and I learned a lot, but since other bloggers were doing the […]
March Gladness
A few days ago, a friend of mine put up a Facebook status talking about blessings in her life with the hashtag #MarchGladness. I had never heard of March Gladness so I did a little research. What I found was basically that several organizations, communities, and churches that are in no way affiliated with each […]
40 Days With Jesus – A Lent Journey
I’ve never been big on celebrating observing Lent. I was raised in the church of Christ and we certainly don’t observe it as a whole body like I believe Catholics do. I have not found Lent commanded in the bible anywhere and I know some people may believe observing something like this could be “adding to […]
Reasons Why I Love… Working From Home
So it’s kinda ironic that I am posting this today because this week I am not working from home. If you don’t know, after I graduated from college, I moved back in with my parents and started working for a fantastic company in Georgia while I (patiently) waited for Pearson to graduate and (even more […]
