When Bonnie told me her story, I immediately asked her if she would consider sharing it here on Joy Because Grace. I’ve had other guest bloggers share about writing letters to your future husband (you can read those here and here), but I thought it would be awesome for Bonnie to share why she firmly believes that you should NOT write to your future husband. Without further ado, take it away, Bonnie! :) I want to give you a piece… Read more »
The Following Is A Guest Post By My Friend, Bonnie Confession: I absolutely love watching the shows The Bachelorette and The Bachelor! If there’s one show I will make time for, it’s those. At my house, we have Bachelor Mondays and in the summers I’m home, they’re my favorite! My mom, sister, and friends will gather around the TV to watch week by week who gets to go on dates, who is chosen and who is rejected. We make our… Read more »
The following is a guest post by my friend Bonnie Have you ever liked someone, and wasn’t sure how to go about it? Maybe you’ve thought about going up and talking to him, or maybe you talk to him every day. Maybe you’ve had a crush in the past you did something with your “liking” that you wish you did differently. The good news is, with God, nothing is ever wasted. Not even our mistakes or the things we wish… Read more »
The following is a guest post by one of my dearest friends, Bonnie Last November, I decided that I desperately needed to take a break from social media. Most especially, I really needed a break from Instagram. I wouldn’t say goodbye to it forever, but just for enough time for me to get away from it mentally, literally and generally. Social media had become toxic to me. Whenever I think about last semester, I always think of Instagram as being… Read more »
The following is a guest post by my friend, Bonnie For the past two summers and over my last Christmas break, I worked as a hostess at a steak restaurant close to where I live. I loved my job as a hostess: the community I had with my coworkers always filled me with so much joy, I never had to lift any heavy trays and I got to spend my shifts welcoming people in and talking to them. It was… Read more »
The following is a guest post by my roommate, Bonnie I have never dated anyone. I’m in my third year of college, and I’m still as I’ve always been: single. This fact doesn’t define me, lessen my value in any way or mean I’m not just as worthwhile as anyone who is or has been in a relationship. And honestly, a lot of me not dating anyone has been my choice. You see, when I was a freshman in high… Read more »
The following is a guest post by my dear friend, Janae. Over and over and over again… it felt like we were on a merry-go-round. It was fun and everything until we tried to get off and walk away as if nothing happened. The nausea and headaches and spinning became stronger each time. I was walking sideways in the relationship, no matter how much I tried to pretend that everything was fine. Honestly, I was sick of trying to hide… Read more »
The following is a guest post by Michaela So he likes you, huh? Maybe he professed his “like” for you to your face. Maybe asked you out? Or perhaps your best friend found out and just told you. Or you found out through your friend’s best friend’s cousin at school, co-op, or youth group? And you don’t like him back, am I right? You’re probably feeling one of two ways right now: disgust or dismay. You might feel disgusted because,… Read more »
The following is a guest post by Abigail Tovah A few years ago, I was driving with my brother and his wife on a Sunday afternoon, when we started re-hashing their recent wedding. Brittney told me about the wedding gift she gave Kenan, and I instantly fell in love with the idea. During her single years, Brittney kept a journal with letters and prayers for her future husband. She explained to me how it works, and a few days later, I… Read more »
The following is a guest post by Michaela “So…there’s this guy….” Ah yes! The classic beginning to every girl’s crush confession. I remember those days. I remember the excitement and nerves and butterflies that assailed me every time he walked in the room. I remember the nervous feelings I got whenever he talked to me or I talked to him. I remember thinking about him for days at a time, wondering “Could he be it? Is this the one?” Yes,… Read more »
