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 …

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.
