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.

    Wow, so many great things have happened this summer for you! :) I am especially amazed at the growth and number of women you've reached out to with this blog. The blogworld never fails to surprise me (at least that's what I've learned since I started blogging!).

    p.s. Thanks for all of those sweet words, Britney! It would be great to meet you too someday!

      it's been a good summer.
      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!

The Wetherills Say I Do | Guest Post

Founders Note: Today on the blog we have one of our August sponsors Madison of The Wetherills Say I Do . She is also one of my blogging friends, I have enjoyed working with her this month and am excited to continue in the future, she is a sweet girl with a big heart for others and Jesus! Today She is sharing her heart on this months theme: Beauty in the Brokenness. So be sure to check out her blog at the links below! If you've ever heard a group of people share their testimonies, a lot of them have a common thread: brokenness. A lot of now believers had to come to a very low point in their lives before they had their breaking moment of calling out to Jesus. Have you ever wondered why that is? Why is it that so many of us have to hit rock bottom before we'll realize our infinite need for a Savior? I don't know the answer to that question, but I do know that in my darkest moments, I've seen the Lord hand out grace and turn brokenness into beauty. We all tend t...

Finding Comfort in the "Waiting Room"

Founders Note: Today's post is written by our new friend Brooke. Her blog is called "Living as a Single Gal". (you can find the link below) We've just discovered Brooke's blog and we look forward to unwrapping more of the great wisdom she has to share. Without further ado, here is her post... Imagine, if you will, that you are in a waiting room. The room is crowded; people standing, people on chairs, people sitting on the floor; this room is totally packed full. And all of these people are waiting. Waiting for what you may ask? That’s simple; love. You are standing in a corner with some of your girlfriends having some laughs. Then one of them gets called out of the room. Then another. Then another; another one bites the dust. One by one all of your single girlfriends are leaving the waiting room and finding true love. Not only are your friends leaving you, but the rest room seems to empty out significantly. And then there’s you. --...
