Today’s guest post is from Olivia Wesley: Hello—My name is Olivia! I’m a wife to an amazing husband, a new mommy to a sweet boy–and woman whose life is evidence of how strongly God’s heart beats for His people. God continues to save my husband and I from worldly statistics, and my desire is to…
The scariest part about being diagnosed with a brain tumor was the not knowing—having such scary possibilities. As soon as I caught my breath, and was finally able to say something, I asked the doctor “Is it dangerous?” He said, “I can’t make you any guarantees. We just don’t know yet.” We just don’t know…
“You have a brain tumor.” Not something I ever wanted to hear out of the mouth of a doctor at midnight in a quiet ER after a terrifying 40 minutes of brain scans. I’ve spent the greater majority of my life terrified of tumors, of surgery, of sickness. A brain tumor was my biggest fear.…
Marriage isn’t easy, of course you know that. But I’ve been realizing over the past couple of months that there’s one word relating to marriage that isn’t as often associated with marriage as forgiveness, or selflessness, or other important virtues—that word is intentionality!

Here are a few ways to keep your friendship exciting: 1. Laugh together Some of my greatest friendships are founded on similar senses of humor. Finding mutual humor in…
We all reach moments in which we feel weak, weary, unappreciated, anxious, or just plain down. We aren’t quite sure what we can do about our less-than-ideal situations, and sometimes there isn’t much we can do. I’ve found that in these times of anxiety, Scripture is so comforting. However, in the moment I forget which…
“A young wife giving marriage advice is like a pregnant woman giving parenting advice.” I’ve been seeing this one floating around on Pinterest, and wow, how’s that for discouragement? (And if we’re going to get technical, this comparison honestly doesn’t even correlate. An engaged woman giving marriage advice would be like a pregnant woman giving…
For as long as I can remember, I’ve dealt with mood swings. One day I’m laughing and making sarcastic remarks, and the next I’m angry if anyone dares to look at me. (Those days are usually around a certain time of the month.) I’m sure a lot of you can relate. Our poor husbands, right?…
