are you wishing your life away?
The last few weeks of school, I was so DONE I soon found myself grasping for the future—wishing my life away. On Monday, I was looking forward to going out to eat Tuesday morning with my friend. On Tuesday, I was just wishing my final exam would be over. Then I was looking forward to …

5 books you need to read this summer
In the past year, I’ve been delightfully surprised at the amount of amazing lit I’ve pretty much “stumbled” upon. It’s so weird (but perfect), but God often speaks to me by way of books. Seriously!! He knows that that’s a surefire way to get my attention. I can’t tell you how many times in the …

connecting with “older” women: the good, the bad + the awkward
Guest post with Mardi Collier, author of What Do I Know About My God.
