Sister friends, these words are for you –

It’s what I have been dying to tell you along the way and all that I have learned over the past year or more of dating and waiting for a husband. Truly I have waited much longer than a year, but God did some work since 2018 and what He taught me was an anchor to my soul in the hard moments. I’ll be honest and say I have not wanted to write this post as I was afraid that it would come off as preaching and weird, but last week I read an old journal entry from last November and I felt like this was the exact message I wanted to share.

Pursuit in the form of pruning. This is the way the Lord grabbed my attention to transform how I would come to understand this word. Sometimes the best way the Lord can pursue our hearts is by pruning a branch in order for us to be more fruitful and beautiful in the way He intended for us to be. A few months ago, this was the case for me. Continue reading “The Pursuit in Pruning” →

Single and Thriving In Your Twenties

If you would have asked me in ninth grade when I thought I would have been in love {possibly even engaged}, with confidence I would have answered senior year of college. OH SWEET NINTH GRADE HANNAH. But honestly, I can truly say I believed it. Four years of college is plenty of time to fall in love, so I delusionally imagined. But with each passing year of college …and post college… my prince charming has yet to arrive, leaving my junior-high thoughts even more laughable.
