About Us

The Founders
Britney & Hillary
Hello! Welcome to our "About Us" Page! We're glad you're here! Below you can find out a little bit more about us and how the blog began!

Britney

Hi, My name is Britney, and I'm just a girl with a heart for Jesus from Michigan. I am passionate about encouraging young women in their walk with God and I know that God has a plan for this space, and I pray that you find encouragement and rest in it. My best friend Hillary and I came together to create this blog and believe it is a place where we could be honest and encourage young women as they grow in their relationship with God. Our prayer is that The Quiet Place will be that place where God meets you right where you are at no matter what you are going through. My favorite verse Joshua 1:9 says it best--"Have I not commanded you, be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go"--Joshua 1:9 (NIV) So with that said, I hope that you will join us in this place of rest and encouragement for your soul.

Hillary



Hello! My name is Hillary and I am Britney's Best Friend from New York! Britney and I met while attending College in Michigan. God has truly blessed Britney and I with each other. Britney is my Jonathan friend and I hers (1 Samuel 18).  When I'm not blogging, you can find me singing, listening to music, baking, and spending time with friends and family. If I'm not home, you can most definitely find me at church. Something else to know about me is that my family and friends are extremely important to me and I wouldn't trade them for the world. People are my passion and one of the reasons for which I blog, though ultimately I blog to spread the good news of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

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. --...
