Relationship advice is everywhere–even for the Christian girl. Whether it’s a book, blog post, or podcast, we have access to loads of info on how to rock a relationship or find “the one.” Most of the time the advice is offered in good faith. There are many helpful tips on dating and marriage–and there are some pretty terrible ones as well. But what about the advice that seems legit, but might actually do more harm than good? What about the dating rules that sound Godly, but if taken too far can actually be harmful? I want to tackle three common rules of Christian dating that should be challenged. None of…

Hospitality–An Overlooked Ministry
As a newly married couple, my husband and I love having people over for food, games, talking, and prayer. Although hospitality comes naturally to my husband (who comes from a big family), this is something I’m learning to be intentional about. But why? Isn’t hospitality a southern term or something that only applies to housewives with perfectly decorated homes? Actually, hospitality goes far beyond the appearance of one’s home.

The Promise of His Presence
Why is it that you can seem to have everything, and yet feel so empty and alone? This world promises us happiness and fulfillment in so many ways: money, relationships, jobs, new experiences–the list goes on. The Hollow Promise But what happens when that’s not enough? What about that hollow feeling? The one tugging at you, making you work until your knuckles bleed, so you can forget that it’s there. The hollowness that leaks out as tears as you lie awake in bed at night. The hollow feeling that makes people cut, starve, and lash out at others? This post isn’t pretty, but it’s real and raw. Because I’ve been…

The Secret to Finding True Strength
I’ve never thought of myself as a strong woman. I’m not too physically strong, and I’m definitely emotionally sensitive. People have often seen me as delicate, which is a wonderful feminine quality the Lord gave me. However, the way I view strength started to change the week my Grandpa was dying in the hospital. He fell down a flight of stairs and suffered a brain bleed. He was in a coma, and passed away after four grueling days. My aunt and I were in the hospital hallway when she told me that I was strong. Somehow, I managed to keep calm in the chaos. I helped whenever I could and…
