Q+A : Meet Madison

Founders Note: Today on the blog we have Madison of the Wetherills Say I Do. Personally I just love her blog and am so excited to have her on the blog today for a Q+A post to get to know a little bit more about her. I enjoy reading her blog and she even designed some of our buttons for us, she was so great to work with and I would definitely recommend her to anyone!  Be sure to check out her blog at the links below!




1.What is the story behind The Wetherills Say I do?
When we got married, we decided to write about our honeymoon every day at the end of the day as a way of remembering what happened that day. It only lasted like three days but that's how the blog got its name! I've thought about changing it before because I know it can look like it's a wedding blog or an all marriage blog but it means a lot to me to keep the name the same as a reminder of why we started it in the first place!


2.What do you love the most about blogging? 
Building community and meeting new people! I've always been a bit of a social butterfly and having the entire blogosphere at my finger tips has been incredible. I have connected with godly women and learned so much from so many blogs on all aspects of life. 

3.Since this months theme is beauty in the brokenness, where do you find beauty in the brokenness? 
Beauty in the brokenness looks a little like this to me: we are all far, far from God because of our brokenness and sinful nature. But God didn't stop there. He CHOSE us and CHOSE to pursue relationships with us through His Son dying for us. That's beauty in a very dark and broken situation. 

4. What are some goals that you have for your blog, either now or in the future? 
I hope that my blog is and continues to be a place of encouragement for people. I want bloggers to be able to come and learn about how to blog and non bloggers to come and learn about marriage and faith. I want the foodie in all of us to be inspired by my recipes and encouraged when I share how a recipe didn't necessarily go my way. I basically strive to create a place of transparency and vulnerability for others to relate to and be encouraged by. I would hate to be putting on a facade of a perfect life, because while my life is so so beautiful, it's no where near perfect and it's really important for others to see that. 

5. What song have you had on repeat lately?
Sweet Tennessee (and every song) by Judah and the Lion! I can't get enough. I also always LOVE when bands have a male and female singing, I can't stop listening to those powerful duos! 

6. What's your favorite summer recipe?
Probably this peach raspberry crisp. It's actually amazingly delicious anytime of year but with fruit being in season right now, I'll take another helping or two!

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. --...
