I think most Christian women know what it’s like to wait for a call. It might be a vocational call you’re waiting for, which is kind of a one and done thing (which definitely does not diminish it’s significance or the challenges involved!) or, I think more often, or at least more regularly, we’re waiting for a call about what we’re supposed to do. “How is God calling me to spend my time?” you think. “Okay, I’m married now.

The #JoyRebels Manifesto
After yesterday's post on what it means to be a #JoyRebel, I found myself writing this. This is what it means to be a joy rebel. This is the #JoyRebel manifesto.

Cause at the end of the day, when has our culture ever offered us joy? Do big houses bring joy? Do high paying jobs bring joy? Does plentiful and unattached physical pleasure bring joy?

Easy DIY Budding Branches
Somehow I got through the first 25 years of my life without spending much time or energy thinking about seasonal decor, but when we bought our first house two summers ago it came with a love of all things seasonal decorating. You could pretty much say I am obsessed now. But for all the obsession I don't want to spend a lot on seasonal decor. Everyday decor, that's not so hard for me, but seasonal stuff that spends 3/4 the year in the attic just doesn't make me excited to part with my ... View Post
