The following guest post is by Emma of Creative Explorations. Bringing all my thoughts on this topic into an organized place is no small task. In fact, I feel nearly unequipped to be instructing all of you, when I myself have so much to learn. To be honest, I was flattered when Kara asked me to post for her, but also mildly terrified. Dealing with guys is such a big topic, and there’s so much more to it than I’ll… Read more »
The following is a guest post by Katie of Our Seasons of Grace. It’s over. Two little words that changes life in a split second. These words can be in the form of: ‘it’s not you, it’s me’; ‘it’s just not working’; ‘I’ve realized I’m not ready’ and the list goes on. It doesn’t matter what is said, the blow rarely softens the pain. Hearing these words, or being the one to bear the news, doesn’t change the feeling like… Read more »
The following is a guest post by Victoria of Through*For*By When I was growing up, I expected to have my life come together by the time I was 23. In my mind, this meant that I would be established and would know exactly what I was doing and everything would make sense. I don’t know why I had that age in mind, but I thought and lived as though that was the goal. By the winter of my 20th year,… Read more »
The following is a guest post by Megan of apronstringsandstickyfingers.com The funny thing about your sharing your story is that no matter how many times you do, it still amazes you at how incredible it is. Looking back I can’t believe how hopeless and lost I felt. I can’t believe how empty and broken I was. I can’t get over how God’s incredible love can turn any situation into something beautiful. I grew up in a Christian family. We went… Read more »
The following is a guest post by Hannah of tosharecareandlove.com I was one of those kids who grew up in church. I knew all the songs by heart, went to Sunday School, and was living (and leading) a Christian life, but that didn’t save me. My dad was a pastor, so I had always known about Jesus, and believed He existed. I accepted Jesus into my heart at the ripe old age of 7, and knew in my heart that He… Read more »
Today’s guest post is by Rhiannon of Whatsoever is Lovely Living I have always loved flowers. My favorites are pink Gerber Daisies. I love how God designed the flower to start off as a tiny seed then with time and the right elements this seed begins to transform into a plant. The plant then grows into a bud and from a bud we see a beautiful flower emerge. This is a lot like what God did in my life. During… Read more »
The following is a guest post by Tiffany of tiffanydawn.net Wondering if the person you’re dating is a good fit for you? Hey girls, my name is Tiffany, and in this video I share my own story of a really bad relationship. And I mean bad. This boyfriend literally told me, “I’m having a hard time falling in love with you because my ex-girlfriend is a ten [on a beauty scale] and you’re just not that attractive to me.” It seems… Read more »
The following is a guest post by Desirae of thefullestlifeblog.com I’m a teacher and a grad student, but six short years ago, I was a freshman in college. Six years go extremely fast, and so did the four that I was in college. Some days I miss college. I “loved” college, but not for the reasons that many do. I loved college because the community that I experienced there was the most unique community that I will probably ever experience…. Read more »
The following is a guest post by Rachel of Chasing Chels It seems as though Valentine’s Day has always resonated as an anticipated holiday for couples and a depressing one for singles. I’ll be the first to admit that nope, it’s not much fun to spend Valentine’s Day alone. “But hey,” everyone consoles you, “God’s just saving you for the right person.” They give you the sympathetic smile, the familiar head tilt, the comforting eyes. The statement is most certainly… Read more »
The following is a guest post by Michaela At the beginning of the year, Kara explained the meaning of “abiding” and what it mean to abide in Christ. I’ll be honest and admit that when she asked me to write a guest blog on the subject of abiding, I was kind of clueless on what that word really meant. I had a general idea, but I really didn’t know the full extent of the definition. So I googled it (because… Read more »
