Q+A : Meet Mariel

Founders Note:(Britney)Today on the blog we have Mariel of Living for his Glory. I have enjoyed getting to know her and  her awesome blog this month. So today she is sharing a little bit more about it with you. I love her cookbook post here, and her posts on her adorable daughter are so fun to read as well.



1. Tell me a little bit about the story behind Living for his glory?
I started Living for His Glory as a newly married girl wanting to share our story with people. I believe the Lord has done a lot more than that through it. I've been blogging for over 2 years and in that time the blog has evolved into something I never thought possible. The Lord has truly used this place for His glory and every day I am reminded to blog for Him and not me. Sometimes that means sharing things I wouldn't want to share. It means putting myself aside to allow the Lord to use me through this blog!

2. How did you come up with your blog name?
I wanted my blog to be all about Him! I wanted to be constantly reminded of that fact and what better way than putting it in the title:) 

3. Since this months theme is community, where do you find community?
I have found some amazing friends through blogging, and I've truly built such a great community here. But besides the internet world. I also surround myself with other like minded moms and friends. 

4. What do you love most about blogging?
Without a doubt the people. I love every single one of the people I interact with. 

5. Do you have any thanksgiving traditions?
I don't think we do but we do get together with family every year. Now that we have our precious daughter I think we will start making some of our own. 

6. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? and why? 
I would probably go back to California. I absolutely loved it when we went early on in our marriage and now I want to see more of it.

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...

A Note to Bloggers

Founders Note: Today on the blog we have one of our awesome monthly contributors and one of my dear blogging friends Kiki. Today she is sharing her heart on this months theme Rest, which if you didn't know ties right in with our mission statement of "Encouraging young women to find rest in God". So, go curl up in your favorite spot and be encouraged by her words. As bloggers, it's easy to feel the need to stay connected and constantly check, check, check. There's often a lot of pressure on bloggers (and non-bloggers alike) to stay up-to-date so we often mindlessly scroll through our feeds on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and the like. We have to read each post our friends publish and comment, comment, comment. We have to post at certain times to get the most likes and we have to send out those emails stat. And I'm not accusing you or any other blogger out there because I find myself doing that very thing more often than not. We like to keep busy and bu...
