One of the recipes I've been making since I was a kid is Fluffy Frozen Peanut Butter Pie (I even did a presentation on it in school when I was in eighth grade...embarrassing, I know). Ohhhh man. It's delicious. And it's super easy to make! But when I developed lactose intolerance in college, I couldn't … Continue reading Feature Recipe: Fluffy Frozen Peanut Butter Pie
My husband hates the idea of setting goals. And although most of the time I roll my eyes at him and continue my perfectionistic, categorized list of ambitions, this year, I heard him out. Why do we set goals? For me, it is a deep need to “get stuff done,” to check off a list, … Continue reading Goal-Setting God’s Way
Christmas is the season of giving. There’s no doubt about it. In fact, Gallup estimates that American adults will spend about $855 on gifts this year! It is SO much fun to pick out that perfect gift for a friend or family member…PLUS the sales are so irresistible! Today I got to thinking about the … Continue reading “Giving” With Purpose
It was a crisp, cool day as Mason and I rode the windy back roads to my grandparent’s farm. He would barely talk to me. My mind was already whirring and aware as Mason had drawn my dad away at lunch to “show him his drum set”…for almost an hour. Of course it didn’t help … Continue reading Our Story: Part 3

But equally as quickly, you would tell me a lot of excuses, fears, and questions you have before you would EVER consider actually going. Travel is an incredible … Continue reading Behind the Scenes: The Heart of a Traveler

What all those fairy tales seem to leave out is, well, reality. It was a hot summer day that Mason and I … Continue reading Our Story: Part 2
“Marina, on March 15 of this year, God told me you were going to be my wife.” I stared blankly at the man in front of me, trying to process the 17 words I had never dreamed of hearing. We had only been dating for two weeks. Memories, confusion, and, oddly, peace flashed before me … Continue reading Our Story: Part 1
This past summer marked a major shift in my life: I graduated college and got married. Although that sequence of events seems to be every woman’s dream, we don’t think much past the chiming wedding bells and pristinely hung diploma. Now that all the excitement has died down and life has returned to “normal,” I’ve … Continue reading The Call to Stop “Doing”
By: Ruthie White Today I am 19 and a half years old. That’s not super significant in itself. Nineteen, I’m convinced, is the most boring age of all. But it’s significant to me because 6 months ago, on my birthday, I made a resolution to wait until March 25th to date or even pursue liking … Continue reading Satisfy
Smooth plastic casing slipped through her hand just in time to tap the hollow heart underneath the picture. Another like. But of course that post didn’t need it. 104 was already enough. Her gut sank at the sight because her last picture had only gotten 71 whole hearts. Likes. “Why don’t I have the money … Continue reading The Hidden Plea of Empty Hearts
