ABUNDANCE for the single, dating, engaged, & married
January 16, 2016 I had just turned 22. I was experiencing a newfound sweetness in my relationship with God. I was living life with my best friends – my mom and sisters. I was nannying for a great family. I was living in my favorite state, California. I was single with no option in sight. I was grieving the loss […]
The other day someone came up and told me “I love seeing all your posts about your baby. You make motherhood look easy!” I responded, “I don’t know about easy, but I am convinced that it doesn’t have to be hard.” I am not entirely sure why, but even writing that is hard for me. Perhaps it is because I […]
First dates can be a hodgepodge of excitement, nerves, fears, hope, possibilities, & uncertainties – they are pretty much like an interview. I first want to say that there needn’t be ANY pressure on a first date. By the end of the date you don’t need to choose whether or not you’re going to marry the other person lol. It’s […]
Starting at age 14, there were a couple things that I just wouldn’t miss–new hallmark movies, a quiet moment to read a novel, and opportunities to hear someone’s love story. I was interested in it all. I loved hearing how two people met, what they did on their first date, and how long before they got married. More than these, […]
I believe that at the core of us girls is a longing to be loved by a man who would do anything for us. We long to be romanced… flowers on our doorstep, love notes waiting for us on the dash of our car, a gentleman who asks for your dad’s permission to take you out on your first date… […]
For as long as I can remember, I have always had the strong desire to be a wife & mamma– more than desires, those roles are callings of mine. For years and years I had prayed for my “future husband” and so longed for the day that I would marry my best friend and begin our life together. Here I […]
Ethan and I each knew that we wanted to get married before we even started dating. Of course, we didn’t share that with one another but God had given each of us a peace early on that this relationship was good and of Him. The day that Ethan & I became “official”, he asked me out by pretty much saying, […]
I knew who I was & I knew I was worth being pursued. God called me loved, valuable, and beautiful. I knew it was only a matter of time until God would bring a man into my life who would lay down his life in pursuit of me. I believed this because I believed God to be faithful and good. […]
Hi marrieds! Ethan and I have been married for a solid four months now, so CLEARLY we’ve got this whole married thing down… So don’t hesitate to contact us if you want advice or have questions about how we made it this far 😉 haha. All kidding aside, we are in it for the long haul! We are convinced that […]
Hi gals! So you’re dating someone, huh? Awesome! Dating can be SO fun, exciting, and special as you spend this time growing closer and learning more and more about each other. Sometimes dating, especially in the church it seems, can feel as though it comes with an expectation that you must end up getting married. Almost as if you end […]
