Last weekend, for Valentine’s Day, Johnny had the idea to read our wedding vows to each other, and also to get them framed. I was so excited about it, and, of course, cried when we read them to each other like I did on that special day. Rereading them sparked passion in me for a …
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 …

“Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” Genesis 2:24 It’s no secret that I am very passionate about marriage.
