By: Julianna Weiss “I prefer for people to love me when I’m worthy of it, like when I do something nice for them or they feel loved by me so they love me in return. I’d rather have that than someone love me when I’m nasty, that feels so unworthy.” These are the words I typed […]

By: Carley Fischer Have you ever spent time with a friend fresh from a worship conference? Have you ever left church on a particular Sunday feeling especially convicted and called to action? Have you seen, felt, or heard the buzz from yourself or others that comes when one is excited about their faith? It is a […]

By: Amy Hornbuckle There is a lot of fear about becoming legalistic with our quiet time. We warn against elevating knowledge and pursuing the facts about God, instead of pursuing Him. But at what point does that fear become disobedience?  Jen Wilkin recently said, “We should be concerned that we’re more fearful of arrogance than we […]

By: Emily Miller One of the first practices I added into my quiet time was writing out prayers as I read. I keep a list of names, groups, and other specific things: gratitude (something I’m thankful for), praise (something great about God), my day, my quiet time, my future, etc. Every morning I write out prayers […]

The cover is not only cute and subtle, but it has that perfect medium-to-thin margin between lines for all your thoughts.

By: Hannah Pritchard Moms are constantly pouring out. Some days, as moms of babies and toddlers, it can feel like we are being asked to pour out a whole waterfall on our tiny ones. We can easily begin to feel like a worn out robot stuck on repeat as we change the third diaper before 8am hits, fold […]

By: Sarah Abreu Jesus came to tear down the wall between us and our Creator. He came that we would have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). I can think of plenty of conversations I’ve had with my best friends, whether it was late at night, or during a sleepover; convos that had me waiting […]

By: Carley Fischer In today’s rapidly changing and fast-moving society it can sometimes seem like we need a road-map for navigating life as a modern Christian woman. It can be hard to understand where the advice stamped on our phone cases and pencil bags like “keep your head up” and “follow your dreams” fits into our faith […]

By: Kelly Arena My dog Maddy is lying contentedly next to me, snoring. She’s completely at peace with the world and everyone in it (except for the skateboarder and UPS truck). We have loved owning Maddy for three years. She transformed from a terrified rescue dog, to a pet who is completely confident in my love for her; […]

By: Abby Watson I needed a break.  My online grocery order had not gone to plan. After spending an hour on meal planning, selecting food in the app, and then going back to select replacements items (cause you know, an international pandemic), I was tired.
