Welcome to The Quiet Place


My name is Britney and I am excited to share my heart with you on this blog. Hillary and I decided to start this blog with a common goal in mind, to encourage young women in their twenties to do as Matthew 11:28 says--"Come to me all who are weak and weary and I will give you rest". Rest for your soul. I hope that you join us in this restful place. Our prayer is that "The Quiet Place" would be a sanctuary for you the reader to know that God meets us right where we are at no matter what we may be going through.

My name is Hillary and I am excited to acquaint you with The Quiet Place. Britney and I came together to create this blog with a similar vision in mind. We wanted a space where we could share our hearts with readers and encourage them to abide in God. We also wanted this blog to be a restful place. We realize that if Jesus needed to spend time with his father in a quiet place like Gethsemane, we need to as well. (Hence our URL www.weneedgethsemani.blogspot.com) Therefore, we hope you will join us in this restful space to be encouraged and renewed by the Holy Spirit.

Britney & Hillary
The authors and founders of "The Quiet Place"
Also Best Friends :)

  3. Thanks Carrie!
    I think the thing that would be the greatest help to tqp right now is getting the word out there. We have a heart for encouraging other young women but we need to reach more of them. If there is any way you might be able to help us with reaching more women, that would be amazing!

  4. Wonderful hearts and wonderful blog. I'm following your blog and love to learn more from you, ladies. I have the same passion as yours since I found young women put their identity in earthly things and their life is so fragile. It's broke my heart. This year I'll write more for women.. Let's empower them together for His glory!

Blogging Goals 2015

It's a New Year and with that brings a new season of blogging.  I can't believe it's been two years since we started this blog. It's grown so much, and  I am excited to see where it goes this year as we continue to grow and change. This year I have some exciting new content in store for you all, which i will explain in more detail below. 1. Around The Table Linkup: This is a linkup that I am personally really excited about. It's going to be a linkup where there's a theme for each month, but I may do some months without a theme. Anyway, each month me and my co-host will share a recipe that we use to create community around our tables. And you will have a chance to link it up! I am currently booked with co-hosts until October, but I am looking to fill November and December. So if you are interested email me at: britney.thequietplace@gmail.com and I can give you more information. 2. Blogging Tips: I would like to start posting some blogging tips this year,

Fear is a Liar: Lessons From the Playground

Lately God has been working on my heart in regards to fear and trust. Today we took my niece to the playground and I wanted to share some of my reflections on our time there today.   The BIG Blue Slide Today I went down the BIG Blue slide. It is the tallest and fastest slide at the playground. I went down the slide because I had been following my 4-year-old niece around and I didn't feel much like climbing back down the ladders we had climbed to get up to the top.  Partly because they didn't seem that easy to get back down (especially for an adult), and partly because the temperature outside was quickly approaching 90 degrees and it was easier to slide then climb back down in the heat. As I sat down at the top of the slide, I had no fear, but I wasn't too much in the mood to be sliding. So, reluctantly, I let go of the sides and pushed myself through the tunnel. What I didn't expect was to not like the slide so much that I let out a scream. Yes, you heard

Four Tips for Creating Community through Blogging

1. Reach out to other bloggers:  this is an  essential when wanting to get into community. It can be as small as a comment on their blog, or an email. I have built relationships with other bloggers through email, commenting on their blogs, etc. For me it has been a beneficial thing, to create community in something that I really didn't know there was any.   This is a great post on why bloggers need community.  2. Join a blog group on Facebook, or some other social media group: I have joined the Peony Project on facebook which is a group for other christian bloggers. It's a great group and i would definitely recommend it!  3. Make meaningful comments: when I say meaningful comments I don't mean that you have to write a novel, but at least engage with the post somehow. Check out Madison's post on how to comment on blogs to find out more.  4. Plan a blogger Meetup : If you there
