Today’s Missions Emphasis Week guest post is by Andrea of stacking chairs blog (under construction). I stood on the roof with my bible resting open in front of me. I had been reading through the Psalms. The sun had risen just recent enough to leave a little pink hue in the sky, dancing with ambers and light blues. The smell of my coffee almost overpowered the scents from the streets below. A unique mixture of smells from sewage, fire pits,… Read more »
Today’s guest post is by Kimberly of Life by Me I don’t know who said it, or where I heard it but in my Bible, at the end of Matthew I have the following words written: “Mission’s isn’t part of God’s plan. It is God’s plan.” As I think about these words I can’t help but think how true they are and how the New Testament really shares this message. I think that it is important for us to first… Read more »

Two years ago I embarked on my journey through college. It seems odd for me to think about how I’m halfway done, and my university days are nearly over. That means I’m growing up… and I don’t feel old enough to be a grown up yet. Thinking back to move-in day, I remember how scared and nervous I felt as a freshman. I was terrified, and my university was only a 20 minute drive from home. I was scared that… Read more »
Dear friend, It’s been a while since I’ve just sat down and shared what’s been going on in my life with you. So I figured I might as well do that today :) Let’s see, where shall I start? My finals were this week! So that’s been on my mind. Thankfully they all went well and I am DONE with them now! *Throws confetti* My classes this semester were alright. I took… Principles of Literature (which I hated… I had… Read more »
Confession: I’ve been single my whole life. Yup, you read that right. All of it. 20 years. No first date. No first time holding a guy’s hand. Nada. And it’s been really hard. I’ve wondered if maybe something’s wrong with me or if I’m not pretty enough or if maybe God just wants me to be single forever. Feelings of unworthiness would flood my heart and my mind, taunting me, causing me to doubt God’s love… I couldn’t hear God… Read more »
I recently finished reading Boycrazy: And how I ended up single and mostly sane by Tiffany Dawn a few weeks ago. Guys, this book is amazing! It’s as if Tiffany and I sat down and discussed life and boys over a frappuccino. Her story is so relatable and I felt as if I had gained a friend. This post includes affiliate links.

Today Courtney of fearlessheartrestlessfeet.wordpress.com/ is sharing her testimony. This is my testimony story. Can I let you in on a little secret, reader? I dreaded writing my story. I have written and rewritten the first paragraph about half a dozen times, deleted it and then rewrote it, took it from a different angle and then deleted it again. I have gone to God, lamented to God and spent time in His word. But this isn’t easy for me and here’s why. A… Read more »
Confession: This past month I have been extremely discontent. And the worst part is, I didn’t even realize I was discontent until I was knee-deep in the quick sand of envy and longing, trapped, unable to move. I felt like I was suffocating. I was unable to let go of my discontentment and move on with my life- to do the things God called me to do. I felt unworthy to encourage others to be content, when I myself was struggling. Finally,… Read more »
The following guest post is by Emma of Creative Explorations. Bringing all my thoughts on this topic into an organized place is no small task. In fact, I feel nearly unequipped to be instructing all of you, when I myself have so much to learn. To be honest, I was flattered when Kara asked me to post for her, but also mildly terrified. Dealing with guys is such a big topic, and there’s so much more to it than I’ll… Read more »
