Devotional Monday: A Year Of Devo Monday's


above is a photo from a previous Devotional Monday.

It's been a year since we've started the Quiet Place, and God has seriously taken this blog places we never thought it would go. There's truth in saying: his plans are always better than our own. Cause sisters they always are, this blog is proof of that.

Also its been a year since I started Devotional Monday, when i first started this little devo, I hoped it would be a place where you get a little encouragement at the beginning of your week. Turns out, it's also encouraged me, i've shared my heart, my struggles, and everything else. It's been good.

I started out in January talking about Grace. How grace comes at a cost and we don't always like it. And then i moved on to: Seek the Things Above,

February:God's Love,Freedom in Christ, Faithfulness, Heart

March: Abide in Him, Never Forsake You, Sacrifice, Words Have Power

April: First(and only one) Devo monday blog on Prayer, Set Free, God's Wisdom,Singleness: There are more singleness posts here. Worth More Than Gold.

May: He Put's our Hearts to Rest, Be Still, Joy, Trust in His Plans.

June: Hillary did the pray for your friends one, i think i was just needing a break that day.  Finding Rest, Seasons of Life, Pray for your Friends, Control

July: we focused on beauty and God definitely challenged me, so good!  God's Beauty and Love, Beauty of the Heart, Crown of Beauty

August: we focused on self worth,  Getting into You, God's Handiwork, Bought with a Price, Shine

September: Our theme was prayer, and it was such an awesome time of digging into our bibles to see what God has to say about prayer.  Prayer, Faithful in Prayer, Changed by Prayer, You are More

October: Identity in Christ, and how our identity is found in him and not the world. Found in Him, The Work of his Hands, Take me Deeper

November: Relationships. A time of discovering just how much our relationships mean to us and of course our relationship with God. Friendships, Give Thanks, In the Waiting

December: Trusting in God. Knowing that his plans are far better than our own. Trust, Unending Grace, Thankfulness


In 2014 I hope to continue encouraging you my dear sisters, and i hope that this year this blog has been a place of rest for you, to get encouraged and strengthened in your relationship with God.

Being Content

Content, As christian women we here that word more times than we can count, especially in a season of waiting. Content is defined as,   pleased and satisfied : not needing more.  Have you been in a season in your life where your feel like you are just waiting? Waiting for a new job, waiting for things to get better, waiting for marriage, etc. Whatever you are waiting for, sometimes it just seems like it's taking forever just like a long line at the grocery store.  When I think about being content, my thoughts instantly go to being content in my singleness. How many times have we heard the cliche lines like "just wait, God's got it" said by well meaning people, only to make you feel worse. There was a time in my life where it was so hard to hear all of those lines without just wanting to cry, because like I said it made me feel worse rather than better.  That is when I would get discontent in waiting,  sometimes I feel like i am in this never-endin

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
