Friday Faves :: graphic tee crush
Friday Faves! And today, I’ve got to share a recent crush I’ve acquired for graphic tees.

Friday Faves :: overflowing browser tabs
Regularly, I have a million chrome browser tabs opened on my phone. Okay, well a million is a bit of a stretch. But 20 is not. Sometimes I read things that I love and want to save to refer back to, share with you, or talk over with Jonathan. And then there’s the occasional recipe or…

5 Things I Learned from Kara Tippetts
A couple weeks ago, my sister told me about a book entitled The Hardest Peace. I found the audiobook via my local library and began listening the next day. Personally, one of the signs of a good book is when I talk with Jonathan about the things I’m reading. This book definitely hit that mark. I…

real life hope.
I’ve been pondering Hebrews 6:19 this weekend: “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.” For those who believe in Christ, we can claim Him as our complete hope for eternal life. Without Him, we are lost. But what about now? What about the daily struggles, heartaches, and perplexing situations…
