One of most frequently used apps on my phone is my Maps app. I honestly don’t know how people found their way around before smart phones or GPS’s, especially directionally challenged people like me.

Read MoreIsn’t it crazy how quickly life can change? It’s like one day you’re just going about your business and the next it seems like everything that once felt certain gets flipped on its head. A great relationship ends unexpectedly. A new opportunity falls in your lap. The chance to pursue a dream comes, but not without some sacrifices.
Read MoreLately I’ve been trying to go on a walk every single day in an attempt to get my steps in. Working a desk job from home doesn’t exaclty require a lot of movement. So the daily walks help me be a little more active. Now, if you don’t already know this, I live in Northern Kentucky. And when I say northern, I mean it.

Read MoreOne of my favorite shows to watch growing up was Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. If you’re not familiar, the show followed a crew of people who would bless a family with a brand new home, and they would build the home in a week while the family was on vacation.
Read MoreImagine that someone who loves you, knows you super well, and is an excellent planner put together an amazing day for your birthday - your favorite meals, your favorite activities, your favorite people, etc. They planned the absolute perfect birthday for you. Wouldn’t you be excited? And wouldn’t you trust that person because of how well they know you and how much they love you? Of course you would! So then let me ask you this: Why do you doubt God when He loves you more than anyone, He knows you better than anyone else, and He has plans more perfect and custom fit for you than anything anyone else could ever put together?
Read MoreOne of my favorite things I did when I was single was taking an annual girls’ beach trip with a few of my closest friends. We always had the best time just chilling by the water, eating junk food, watching movies, and of course, talking - lots and lots of talking.
Read MoreI made my first “future husband list” when I was a junior in high school. I was on my way to my first college tour, and I got into a conversation with my parents about the possibility of meeting my future husband once I was in college. And after that conversation was over, I figured I should probably start seriously thinking about the qualities I was looking for in the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with.
