Guest post with Mardi Collier, author of What Do I Know About My God. She wanted me to mention that the captions for her points were not written by her, but instead me just to break up all the text. 😉 Hi everyone! I’m an older woman. Guess I don’t have to reveal HOW old, but I qualify for sure. Amanda and I were able to work together for a summer, and she recently asked me to help her with a dilemma. She would like to get to know some of the older women …
For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor.No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly.—Psalm 84:11 At first glance, this verse is one of those that we should all make our life verse. Because who doesn’t want a good thing?! According to me, a good thing is never-ending snickerdoodle hot chocolates from starbucks free sassy t-shirts all the pressed flowers …
We serve a God of amazing, total power. I was reading the story of when Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednego were thrown into the fiery furnace. In case you didn’t know, spoiler alert: they end up surviving. Nebuchadnezzar freaks out because he sees fourmen instead of the three he sent in there. When he retrieves them, not only …

A few months ago, I heard a super inspirational story in our chapel time at my school. It stuck in my head, and I really wanted to implement the story in my own life. The story was about how a girl sent a personalized Bible to her friend, and her friend gave it to someone else. That …
Car conversations are the bestest. While on a car trip to who knows where, my sister Rachel posed a question: “What exactly is grace?” It’s one of those words where we kind of have a general idea of what it is, but the details are kind of fuzzy. It’s also one of those “Christian” words you throw into …
The house was full of taxidermy. When you walked in the front door, there was a bear, his mouth frozen in something that looked like a smile. In the next room a fox posed on a stump, two ducks flew across the wall, and a white squirrel crouched on a display on the wall. Oh, …
I absolutely LOVE connecting with all of you guys! I get such sweet emails, texts, and little notes sometimes that really encourage me because I know you guys are reading, listening, and enjoying all my little ramblings.
