TRIGGER WARNING: This post discusses eating disorders. If it is not healthy for you to read this at this time, please do what is best for you. I’ve thought about this blog post for a looong time, but I felt too hypocritical. Something that God convicted me of for a long time was the amount …
Something that has broken my heart and stirred up so much passion in me is for the struggles I have heard couples explain going through during this quarantined season. I’ve seen messages like, “If I don’t want to kill my spouse after this quarantine, I know I’ve succeeded,” or, “We’re just trying to make it …

Oh man. Hi, Reader. How are you?! This post is a long time coming. But it is being written for the one who finds his or herself in the same position that I am about to outline here. It’s a position I feel a heavy call to write about, share about, and, hopefully, encourage others …
