Coffee Date + A Giveaway

Today I am linking up with Jenna of Dearest love for her twice a month coffee date. So, get a cup of coffee or tea and let's have a coffee date.

If we were on a coffee date I would be super excited that you came and we would order our coffee and sit down at a table by the window because I like to have the sun coming in. After that i would ask you how your thanksgiving was and what's going on in your life.

I would share with you that I have just ended another semester of grad school and i am back in Michigan on break until January. I would tell you that my thanksgiving was great and It's nice to be here with my family for a bit. I would say that I love school even though sometimes it is hard, i love all that i am learning and all that God is teaching me through it. I would also say that the #SheReadsTruth thanksgiving plan is teaching me so much and is really giving me a new perspective on being thankful, even in those hard times.

Then I would ask you some more about you, because I love this community that is blogging and just getting to know people in general. We would definetly have to take a photo before we left and exchange numbers, so we could hang out again.


Now, it's time for a little surprise! Raise your hand if you like coffee! Yep, I knew it. Well, I am (Britney) teaming up with Jenna of Dearest Love and some other awesome ladies to bring you a coffee date care package giveaway! One winner will receive a bag of Sweet Aroma Coffee, an Oh Simple Joys coffee mug, and a vintage hand-stamped "Rise & Shine" spoon. I am excited to see who wins!


Giveaway will end at midnight EST on December 3rd. Open to U.S. residents only. Winner will be contacted via email and will have 48 hours to claim their prize before another winner will be chosen. 
All entries will be verified, so make sure you play by the rules!

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

This year I have some exciting new content in store for you all, which i will explain in more detail below. 1. Around The Table Linkup: This is a linkup that I am personally really excited about. It's going to be a linkup where there's a theme for each month, but I may do some months without a theme. Anyway, each month me and my co-host will share a recipe that we use to create community around our tables. And you will have a chance to link it up!

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
