Hello, there! I hope that this post finds you well! I decided that it might be helpful and fun to record my notes from my bible reading here on the blog. These notes are by no means authoritative or even unique. I use the Blue Letter Bible App to study, & I take notes based on the commentaries found in the app. Some of these notes will be things that were brought to my mind during study, but most of them are things I have read that I thought would be helpful to me in understanding later. And I hope they might be of some help to you! I am praying that this encourages you to dive deeper into ..read more

We recently made a pretty big move to a new state, and one of the first things on the agenda was to start looking for a new church. In our last location, we had quite the difficult time finding a church that we loved + that was actually biblically based. About 6 months before we moved, we found an amazing church, but of course…we then had to move. We used to just look for churches online that had a young-looking vibe and decent music. That’s pretty much the only criteria we had. Once we attended in person, we would see how the service made us feel. If we felt emotionally good about it, we woul ..read more

Today, I wanted to chat a little bit about praying with your spouse. I’ve done a post about this topic before, and you can find it here! In this post, I’ll be touching on two questions to ask ourselves if we find prayer with our spouse to be difficult. I’ve been finding myself feeling some negative emotions lately when my husband initiates a prayer or bible study time. I’ve been feeling a weird sort of resentment during these times. I know deep down that it’s just Satan trying to get in my head, but it does get to me at times! I find myself bringing to mind all the things that have bothered me ..read more

  We are well into the #christmasintimacychallenge on Instagram, and I’ve been thinking a lot about intimacy within my own marriage and some of the struggles that we have faced.

A question that I get often usually goes something like this… “Do you have any tips for helping your husband and loving on him when he is tired…and you’re also tired??“ This is a fantastic question, and it’s one that I have struggled to find the answer to, at times. It can be extremely difficult to be the helper that we are called to be when we are mentally, physically, or emotionally exhausted. A simple truth that has helped me TREMENDOUSLY is this…me being tired does not negate my husband being tired. We are both allowed to be tired. When my husband is exhausted, it does not take away from t ..read more
