Through the Darkest Valley

This article was originally written in November of 2013 for Our Witness, a website that highlights personal testimonies of Christians all over the world. Thank you for reading!

The day after I lost my baby was the only day I literally wanted to die. I’ve met other women who suffered a miscarriage before, but they still seemed “normal”, so I didn’t think much of the impact it has on women until it happened to me.

They said it was “hard” and “one of the most difficult events they’ve ever been through”, but I couldn’t imagine the attachment they had to their unborn child no matter how brief or how long their baby was wrapped in its mother’s womb.

We weren’t trying to get pregnant, but it was something I could hardly wait for. I always joked that I’ve been wanting a baby since I was a baby, so since I’ve been married I’ve had multiple talks with my husband asking why we couldn’t have a baby…NOW.  My period came like clockwork and so did the symptoms, however the day before I was supposed to start my cycle, me and my husband were watching our favorite shows and I had this overwhelming and exciting urge to yell “I’m pregnant!”

Well, for obviously reasons, I didn’t. Continue reading “Through the Darkest Valley” →

I attended a few events at the Oh, Hello Friend shop before meeting its owner Danni for the first time. Once I laid eyes on her humble and beaming smile, I couldn’t help but hug her as if we had known each other since childhood. Her store has a feeling of home as she welcomes you in with messages of “You are loved” on display throughout the space. In the short time since her brand was founded, God has move her into directions she never dreamed, and is constantly expanding her vision for it. I can’t even imagine where her business is headed, but I’m glad to be along for the ride. Continue reading “Promo Tuesday with Oh, Hello Friend” →

Funny Friday: Church Life

God has a sense of humor and so do we. Let’s get the weekend started with a good laugh!

If you’ve ever been to a church service, at least one of these will ring a bell. These memes are certainly on point.

1.) And you don’t feel like posing for pictures in your cute outfit either.

2.) Can I get an “Amen”?

3.) And you rush to finish the verse out loud with the congregation.

4.) For those of us who like to stay up late Saturday night.

A Hole is Where the Heart Is

This article was originally written in January of 2012 for Our Witness, a website that highlights personal testimonies of Christians all over the world. Thank you for reading!

Recently, my husband and I had our first encounter with serious repairs to our apartment. Ever since the first time it rained while we were living on our own, we’ve been dealing with leaks here and there in our office. There was even an incident when I noticed a leak above my computer desk right before we were about to leave for a meeting. If we had left just a few minutes sooner, my keyboard might have been soaked by the time we returned home and that would have been a whole other problem.

Even though the leak was apparent in three different spots, it was all caused by the same source. Patch work time and again just didn’t fix the problem, and our ceiling was only getting worse. This most recent leak was also the most damaging as water started seeping through the walls. We practically demanded management come and see for themselves what the problem was and repair it for good. Instead, we got a knock on the door by the same maintenance men who had been “fixing” this leak for the past year or so. Great. Continue reading “A Hole is Where the Heart Is” →

All I can say is that God definitely brought us together. There are those sisters and brothers in Christ you meet that God keeps weaving in and out of your lives, but you always seem to connect at just the right moment. Caroline (founder of Pursue Love Design Co.) has been planning events for the better part of a decade and there have been several times we’ve worked together in the past. As God expands her ministry to help couples plan their perfect wedding, or to accumulate props and decor for a birthday party, she does it with her entire heart. I’m excited for the future of our ministries and looking forward to how God uses her in every aspect of her life. Continue reading “Promo Tuesday with Pursue Love Design Co.” →

Fashion Friday: Florals

Beauty is all around us and our Creator has given us so much inspiration to work with. We all know that true beauty comes from the inside, but on Fashion Fridays we discover the latest fashion and beauty trends that help us to feel beautiful on the outside.

Florals don’t have to look like your Grandmother’s curtains. There are so many ways to incorporate them into your wardrobe through dresses, skirts, scarfs, tops, etc. If you don’t want to look like a walking garden, you can go with a smaller print that doesn’t scream “flowers!” at first glance. However if you like to make a statement, a large print with bold colors is perfect for you. How do you like to wear florals? Continue reading “Fashion Friday: Florals” →

Peace Walking

This article was originally written in July of 2012 for Our Witness, a website that highlights personal testimonies of Christians all over the world. Thank you for reading!

Recently, I was at a financial workshop and the leaders of the session (husband and wife) asked us attendees to take a few minutes and write down what we value most in life. Being that we were going to discuss finances, I wrote my answers accordingly. When we were asked to share, others were saying values like “Relationship with God. Family. Giving to others.” I admit I felt pretty selfish when I piped up “Peace of Mind.” The leaders actually took a beat to think about that and responded, “We’ve never heard that answer before. But we value that too.” Since then, I’ve been thinking about my response and wondering why peace is so high on my list of values.

In my life currently, peace of mind can be hard to come by. My career, friendships, and finances are all very inconsistent. Some would say that having those elements can make up a happy lifestyle. Thank God that’s not true because—if it were—I’d be a nut case. Pardon my French. When I first moved to California years ago, God rocked my world by taking away everything I felt secure in. Before that move, I was used to having a consistent job, consistent friendships, and money to do what I wanted. Because of this, I relied mainly on myself and thanked God for the strength to do so. Now I know just how backwards that is.  Continue reading “Peace Walking” →

Promo Tuesday with Get. Give. Grow.

I heard great things about the organization Get. Give. Grow. before I had the pleasure of one day meeting its founder Ashli B. through a mutual friend a few years ago. One thing I remember most about that day is her passion to serve the Lord, and her creativity that has no bounds. I’ve never known much about business branding, but this woman is a guru and has major clientele patronizing her services. I’ve been blessed to be a contributing writer for her blog, and our ministry opportunities are just at the beginning. Her path is limitless and it’s a blessing and an encouragement seeing how God is growing her small business while having a family on top of that.

Christian dating can be awkward, but even more so if some of these pickup lines have been used on you.

1.) He reads the bible AND has a crush on you?
