If you're a blogger like me (or a writer in any aspect!), then I'll bet you've had moments where you sit in front of the computer, knowing you want to get something up on the blog, or get material written, but wondering what. Staying inspired is one of the most difficult facets of being a blogger. It's certainly not a magical process, where we simply upload a couple good pictures and the post basically writes itself! ;) And sometimes it's not a lack of an urge to write...it's just the … [Read more...]
Prayer Cards For Your Marriage (a free printable!)
Do your lips ever start to move in prayer, only for you to hesitate because you feel like you can't articulate it all? I feel that way so much of the time! Thankfully, Romans 8:26-27 reminds us of a promising truth: In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how we ought to pray, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words. And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints … [Read more...]

But – I don’t want to spend all evening after work standing in the kitchen! So it's important to … [Read more...]
Bible Verses for the Work Week (Free Printables!)
Sometimes the work week almost surprises us - shocks us wide awake with its noise, its tasks, its hustle and bustle, and its audacity! And unfortunately, I sometimes don't enter my work week prepared with an attitude and emotional resiliency that only God can give. I don't always "have time" in the morning to sit down and really soak in truths from my Creator. I tend to rush through my day, checking off tasks and allowing my frustrations to mount until afternoon, when it really hits me just how … [Read more...]
Printable New Years Goal Sheet (+ a Version For Bloggers!)
It's that time of year, friends! Posts recapping 2016 are popping up absolutely everywhere! Something I've noticed this year much more than last year is the fact that people really seem to be done with 2016. And I'm done with 2016. Really done. Haha. It's been quite the year, and this past fall has thrown some curveballs I never would have anticipated or wanted, which unfortunately can make me feel like all of 2016 wasn't great. But that's not the whole story. I don't want to … [Read more...]
