2018 New Year's Resolutions, Goals, & Word of the Year!

It seems surreal to be chatting today about 2018- I mean, what?! The year's just seem to be flying by faster & faster, and I'm just trying to keep up! 

I know not everyone loves New Year's Resolutions & goals, but last year I set some really intentional ones- and I'm proud to say I accomplished all but 2 (and even those I made some great strides!) Setting concrete goals for myself helps to keep me on track and gives me something to strive for. Sharing them through the blog is such a great way to keep me accountable to them & to get more personal with y'all and share a piece of my heart! 

So, without further ado, I'm thrilled to share my Personal & Blog Resolutions for 2018 with y'all!

10 Things You Don't Know About Me!

When I asked y'all a few weeks ago what you want to see more of on the blog, I got a resounding answer of 'more personal posts'- that y'all want to know more about the girl behind the blog (me!) I try to share personal anecdotes on each post, but I love that y'all want to learn more :) And since I've seen lots of friendly new faces around this blog the last few months, it seemed like the perfect time for this post! So grab your coffee, because today I'm sharing "10 Things You Don't Know About Me".

Sunday Scripture + Thoughts

I absolutely cannot thank you all enough for your kind words and well wishes while I took a brief personal break! It seriously meant the world to me that y'all took time to send some prayers and good thoughts my way. This little space of the net means so much to me and y'all keep it kind, happy, and so special!

A Few Days

Hi Friends! Happy hump day y'all!

This little space has become one where I feel I can be quite honest with you, and the honest truth is that I need to take a few days "off". I've had some not-so-happy things happen in my personal life this week, and I need to spend a few days mending my heart. I love keeping this space happy and bright, so taking a few days break will allow me to come back refreshed and ready to do that for you :) I hope to share a little more when I'm ready (I tend to keep my personal life close to the vest) but if you could send some positive thoughts and prayers my way that would be the best!

Thank you so much for reading! It means so much to me and  I will see you back here on Sunday with a wonderful Sunday scripture and then on Monday I have a great collaboration with a sweet blog friend! XO

PS- Tonight I'm going to see Dave Matthews and I've never been to his concert- I think I'm in for a treat! :)

2014: I'm Coming for 'Ya!

Looking back on 2013, I am amazed at all that I have been through, accomplished, loved, lost, and recovered- who knew that 12 little months could change everything?

2013 was a life changing year, but when I review it all in retrospect I can see how clearly the Lord is shaping me and shaping my future. He has put the most incredible love and support in my life, with friends and family who would do anything for me (and have) and He has worked in my heart every day this year to soften it, mold it, and turn it solely towards Him.

I am facing 2014 with a renewed sense of passion and purpose to live a life of LOVE- because that is what it's all about!

I am not the biggest fan of New Year's Resolutions, because as much as I love to plan, life just changes so darn much in a year! What I do believe in, however, is the everlasting goodness of our Father, the love of our families, and the sweet spirit of our friends. I want to remember every day this year that the Lord is faithful, He is good, and His timing trumps mine- every time!



Friends, I pray that your 2014 is filled with faith, love, and laughter; I can't wait to share my journey with you along the way!
