The Circle Linkup: Summer Bucket List Recap

Today were linking up once again with Kiki who is one of our monthly contributors( be sure to check her out on our about page, if you haven't already) And the awesome women of God over at In it's Time. She is definitely one of those blogging friends that I hope to meet someday, i just love her!  And when we first started this blog, she was a big help when we needed to know how to do something.   So, as summer comes to an end, here are the goals I accomplished. 
  • Go to the beach -- - This was one of my goals this summer and my family and I did make it to the beach this summer, which wasn't hard since we live near Lake Michigan. 
  •  Save money for Grad school-- Well this didn't really happen, I am looking at different schools and hoping to find one that I can maybe start at in January. so we will see. 
  •  Have a all girls weekend--I did see some of my friends this summer at a wedding in PA for my dear friend Becky. I also got to spend a few days with my best friend! So even though we are not planning on our girls weekend until October, at least we got to spend some time with each other.  
  • Continue to reach young women with this blog--These past few months The Quiet Place has grown, and we have reached other young women. We had our first giveaway in celebration of getting 100 likes on Facebook.  Which I can't believe cause we have only existed 9 months, we turn 1 year old in December, so if you wanna guest post for that, let us know!  We have some awesome things planned for next month  so be sure to check back for that! Also be sure to stop by Anchors Aweigh tomorrow cause we are being featured in a sponsor post!  
so there you have it, that's what I accomplished. Hopefully I can get to the beach some more times before summer is really over.

      Yes, I've definitely learned that too since starting this blog. God definitely had bigger plans for it, than I ever thought. I am excited to see where God takes it in the future!

Beauty out of Brokenness

1 Samuel 16:7  So as you may know, this months theme here on the Quiet Place is beauty in the brokenness and it's one of those topics that I personally just want to flesh out and be real with you all. Merriam Webster defines beauty as :  the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person or thing that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit. And brokenness is a place that each of us has been in at one time or another.  For me personally I would say that I find beauty in the brokenness in my life, in the seasons that I am in. Weather it be singleness, loss, etc. There's always that feeling that nothing will ever change, but then one day you begin to find beauty in it.  Singleness has always been on of those things for me, that I share a lot about both here and on my personal blog but it's something that I've always seen as a  line between something that is beautiful and just plain hard. I have emailed back and fort...
