I can't beleive it's already July already, and that means it's already time for another currently linkup. This is one of my favorite linkups with some of my favorite bloggers as hosts, So be sure to stop by Jenna and Anne's blog and linkup!
CRAVING: Salted Caramel Gelato, so good! The Talenti brand is my favorite! 

GRILLING: I haven't really grilled anything lately, but once the corn starts here in Michigan i would like to try a grilled corn recipe my mom found while I'm home until August. 

LISTENING: Lately I've been listening to Drew Holcomb and neighbors, and Needtobreathe which are two of my favorites. 

PLANNING: I finally found a roommate, so I've been planning what she's going to bring and working out the details of that. I've been praying for a roommate for a while, so i am glad that i finally found one. 

DECORATING: My new apartment. I've had fun hanging up some scripture prints and making it my own. I am excited to go back in August and add some more things.

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

Blogging Goals 2015

It's a New Year and with that brings a new season of blogging.  I can't believe it's been two years since we started this blog. It's grown so much, and  I am excited to see where it goes this year as we continue to grow and change. 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! I am currently booked with co-hosts until October, but I am looking to fill November and December. So if you are interested email me at: britney.thequietplace@gmail.com and I can give you more information. 2. Blogging Tips: I would like to start posting some blogging tips this year,

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
