I know it’s easy to throw rocks at social media because in our day and age it certainly has it’s negatives, however, it’s important to not lose sight of…

{2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.} I absolutely LOVE going for walks in the Fall. There is truly nothing better than going out of your way to step on a crispy leaf….

Romans 12:12 says, “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” I can’t think of a more fitting verse for my 100th post! As you might recall from previous posts, I’ve mentioned that I started this blog when I was a bit down, going through some tough times. I wanted an outlet, a space to write and a place to put my many thoughts. Since the beginning, this blog has surpassed all expectations. Not only has it had the opportunity to reach many, it has…

You guys! I found this sweater for just $4.00 at Loft! Can you believe that?! I promise it’s even cuter in person, the pictures really don’t do it complete justice.

I hope you can see the earrings I attempted to show off in one of the pictures above because I have been wearing them repeatedly since they arrived in my set from Rocksbox!

It’s no secret that I love a pretty lighthouse so perhaps the mystery lies in the why I like them so much. It wasn’t until recently that I even found out for myself! Being a Michigan girl I’ve always loved the lake but over the course of the past few years, I’ve found an incredible sense of peace there…

Lately more than ever before, as I stand at my happiest, I’ve found myself scared that I’ll get hurt. Seems random right?! Not to me. I guess I’ve just reached a point of being content with where I’m at and I don’t want anyone or anything to take that away from me. I’ve always said that I do not wish a broken heart on anyone, it’s just terrible! On one hand, I think experiencing heart break on a few different occasions has given me the opportunity to genuinely appreciate the times that are good. On the other hand, I think it has also left me fearful that I might end up feeling that way again. It wasn’t until I sat at church on Sunday and heard the Pastor say, “faith over fear” that I realized I had nothing to be scared of. Even in the eye of the storm, God remains in control. As we experience heart breaks in whatever form they may come in, I truly believe that…
