A Special Request

Today on the blog I wanted to take some time to share with you what my good friend Katy is up to. In the past couple of years God has called Katy on missions to Ireland, India, and now to Puerto Rico. (You may remember Katy from her guest post) Currently, Katy is working as a social worker in Puerto Rico as well as living on a YWAM (youth with a mission) base. It looks like she will pioneer a ministry there called Kings kids as well as participate in events on base, which are passionate about evangelism. She just moved there about a week ago and needs to buy a car so that she can get to work. She has been renting a car in the meantime, but will run out of money for that very soon. Please consider making a donation to her Go Fund Me account to help her buy a car and pay for other expenses while in Puerto Rico. Any amount you can help with would be a huge blessing to her and greatly appreciated. If you are unable to contribute funds, please consider sharing her Go Fund Me on social media. 

In advance, thank you so very much. It is my hope that this post will help provide for Katy's needs in order for her to be able to continue to serve Christ in Puerto Rico. She has been such a blessing in my life and carries the joy of Christ wherever she goes. It is wonderful thing to see her spread joy around the world.

I'm Katy, a girl who wants to heal the world using the love of Jesus. I have been changed by His Love, and He has proven to me His strength and ever-faithfulness. I have learned to follow my heart, and the places it leads me, as I realize that God himself made me and fashioned me to be....me, and he made me to love chocolate, socialization, and dancing. I am excited to answer his call for missions this year and will be heading off to Ireland, a place I will most likely feel very at home in. It is only the beginning. I am so blessed and humbled to have already seen His redemption in my life, followed my dreams, and being used by Him in my job arena, and other ministries. I have so much more to learn but I am glad I have all of Eternity with the Perfect Being to do so. He died for me, and He also makes live very fulfilling to Live for Him. Jesus is the reason for EVERY season.

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
