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 :)

    Thanks for starting this blog ladies! How awesome to see a couple of young women taking the lead to encourage others to find their peace and rest in Christ! Wonderful! May God bless your outreach to other young women! Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you both.

    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!

    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!
