I adored my trip to Savannah with my mom last year. I’ve talked about it a lot here, sharing snapshots from our trip and my favorite brunch spots in Savannah, but hands down my favorite place we visited is probably not what you’d expect… an old antique store that, at-first-glance, is just an old mansion that is now the home to a bunch of stuff. We stumbled upon Alex Raskin Antiques completely by chance while we were looking for the Mercer-Williams House - home of the almost unbelievable story …
Fruit of the Spirit: Joy
“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it!” -Psalm 118:24 ESV Continuing on with the Fruit of the Spirit Instagram Challenge, after love comes JOY! We are rejoicing in the Lord and all of the amazing blessings he has given to us. This verse, like the fruits of the spirit, is one that comes to my mind in the form of a song whenever I read it.

Hemlock Goods, founded by Beth Snyder, also the founder of One …

Against such things there is no law.” -Galatians 5:22-23 Galatians 5:22-23 is one of those passages that, growing up in church, I heard all the time. I can still sing you the song from the Upwards Basketball memory verse cd 16 years later. But recently I realized that I’ve never actually studied this passage in-depth. It’s like John 3:16 - it comes naturally - but …
5 Ways to Beat the Sunday Scaries
Weekends are the BEST - I think we can all agree on that. I love to make plans for what I’m going to do and accomplish with my two days off, whether it be seeing a show with my mom, a weekend trip to Alabama, or literally just staying in my pjs and reading all day long. But it’s the weekend and I can do what I want! No matter how fantastic the days went or how rested I feel, a knot always starts forming in my stomach at about 5pm on Sunday. Dread that the weekend is over, anxiety at my seemingly …
