Let’s be clear here: purity is not only for single people. Despite that fact, if you looked a Christian books, sermons, and other resources that talk about purity, the vast majority of them would be geared towards singles. A good chunk of them would probably be geared towards the youth group/college age crowd. When we see purity as simply …

Being pure does not mean you have to live in a bubble. Last week, my blog post was about how purity is a process, not some point you can’t cross. If that’s true, that means that even if you know things or have experienced things that maybe you shouldn’t, that doesn’t necessarily make you less pure. The Wrong Idea …

I know I’ve posted on here before about my love hate relationship with fasting. I hate doing it, but I know it’s good for me. For that very reason, I’ve made it one of my goals in 2018 to fast more consistently. I actually just did a guest post for my new friend Kira at her blog Joy Pursued on …

What is Christian purity? “Purity” is not a word most people use in normal conversation, even in church. However, as a single Christian (either in a youth group or young adult’s group), purity is often equated simply with sexual purity or even with virginity. You’re told that it’s of upmost importance that you remain pure for your future spouse. …

It’s the last day of the month which means that it’s time for an update of the books I’ve read this month. February was a good book month. I actually finished more than my goal of 3 books. This month I finished four books (though one of them only partially counts, explanation below). Once again, I’ve included links to …

First off, can we just say moms are great? The older I get, the more I appreciate moms. I’m in a small group right now with some great moms and hearing their prayer requests reminds me of how hard being a mom really is. God gives moms such a hard job. They pour their hearts and souls into these little …

Dear Single Friends, First off, I want you to know that I thought about you last week during Valentine’s Day. I still remember how that felt, to be single on that sappiest of all days. Everybody in person and online praising their significant other can be hard to watch when you don’t have someone to praise. It’s hard, I know. …

I’m not going to try to be spiritual or theological when it comes to Valentines Day. Valentine’s Day is easily one of the dumbest holidays of the year (right up there with Groundhog Day and Arbor Day). I always thought that I just hated Valentine’s Day because I was single. Now that I’m married though (and my husband’s birthday happens …

Honestly, I think February is the worst month. It hasn’t mattered where I’ve lived at the time (and I’ve lived a lot of places), though it’s the shortest month, it just seems to drag on and on. It is the worst. In February, the winter weather seems to have a death grip on the world. We all hope for …

I posted at the beginning of the year that one of my goals for this year was to read 3 books a month. In order to keep me honest about that, I’ve been posting on Instagram and Facebook as I finish books, but I’m also going to start doing a blog post the last day of the month with a …
