Welcome! My name is Brittany and this website provides biblical encouragement for the world-weary believer. As someone who didn't become a Christian until my late teens, I know what it's like to fumble through the faith journey. I've had a huge learning curve over the years and made mistakes along the way. It's because of my own experiences I am passionate about helping those who are tired, discouraged, and unsure in their faith journey. Because I've been there I can relate and want to share with you resources that aren't merely Christian fluff, but are resources that provide practical insight and help as you find your way on this incredible journey with our beautiful God. I hope you'll stay a while and check out the resources on this page!

How to Respond to Suffering

August 04, 2018

If you are going through a time of suffering, how can you respond in a healthy and godly way until you've made it through?

MY LIFE ACCORDING TO INSTAGRAM

Prayer really does change things! Ryan and I are praying for some big things right now and even though there are still some mountains ahead, we are starting to see the fruit of these prayers.
•
Prayer is vital to your life. It there’s more! Pick up by book Untouchable for other things necessary is living a flourishing life!

Are you feeling behind or off track in the pursuit of your dream? Not where you thought you’d be right now back when your were a hopeful 20 year old with vision? You’re not alone. Isn’t it crazy how we can get discouraged in life so easily. And by that I mean, after so many blessings and/or a part of the dream has come true, we still look at what others do have that we don’t and wonder, when will it be my time?
•
I’m going to be a bit raw for a moment and share something personal. Writing a book has been one of the few dreams I’ve had forever and don’t get me wrong, I’m so incredibly humbled and overwhelmingly grateful. And yet, I still look at girls on Instagram further down the road in what is my dream too and I get down. I question my value. I wonder what she has that I don’t. Am I not as good of a Christian as her? Next thing I know, I’ve gone down a dark rabbit hole of discouragement and doubt.
•
If the same thoughts play in your head, know that we all have moments like this. Even the girls “further down” the road. Guess what? None of us have a life without worry or comparison. But we all must find a way to combat it.
•
I always turn to Hebrews 10:35-36 in these moments: “So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.”
•
Friend, know God isn’t done with you; He still has so much to accomplish through you! What if I had given up on my dream to write a book before it happened because I wasn’t where I thought I should be? I wouldn’t be here today! I promise God sees you and knows your heart, and that He’s working all things for good. So, don’t give up on that dream or throw away your trust in Him. Keep going, endure, and pursue God’s will—He’s working behind the scenes, weaving together a beautiful tapestry that is your life. You won’t ever see the dream come true if you give up now.

This verse is about salvation, but doesn’t it really apply to so many other aspects of life? I read it yesterday and haven’t been able to stop thinking about just how true and powerful it is for other areas of my life.
•
Whenever I’ve tried to do anything in my own power, I’ve failed. Time and again. When I’ve depended on my experience, skill or knowledge, I’ve often learned the hard way that none of it’s enough.
•
The way to flourish in life is by leaning into God and living a Spirit-filled life. That’s it. And yet we make it so hard sometimes by going at it alone. Marriage, parenting, work, relationships. When will we let go of power and embrace His sovereignty?

The other day I was fighting discouragement in the mundane. But then, as I was sitting on the living room floor with my 13 month old playing with the blocks and toy cars scattered across the living room floor, God spoke gently to my discouraged heart.
•
Find enjoyment in the small things.
•
I’ve lost sight of so many things in my transition to be home with Roman. Before this season, I always seemed to be looking to the next big thing. You know, the next big event at work. The next accomplishment or dream to achieve. The next season. But now, I didn’t necessarily have more “nexts” to occupy my now. And in that gap, I was looking for something to hold onto. There was no new thing on the horizon to “give me purpose” which meant, all I had was now. At first, this loss of the “next” hit me with discouragement like a ton of bricks. But then God whispered: enjoy the small things. Find beauty in the now.
•
As I sat there pushing around a plastic dump truck with my little warrior in my lap, tears filled my eyes. THIS. This was beautiful moment. I was living in the moment of a memory I will one day wish to have back. It was a small, fleeting moment that would forever be lost if I didn’t catch it with appreciation NOW!
•
One day Roman will be a grown man living a life outside the reach of my mama arms. And I’ll wish for the mundane back. I might even be living those dreams that now seem so far away, and I’ll long for a moment to rock him gently. Or lock eyes with his little blue eyes. Or put blocks together on the living room floor. I’ll miss the small things I once took for granted.
•
Friend, our moments are fleeting. And we’ll miss the most simple, beautiful moments of them all if we’re constantly looking for the next big thing. Truth: chasing the “next” will always leave you unfulfilled. If you don’t learn to appreciate the small moments you’re living now, then you’ll miss out on the sweetest moments life has to offer. Learning to embrace the now and live in small moments is a gift rarely appreciated.
•
I want to be an embracer of the “insignificant” moments. To be a cherisher of the small, unseen blessings. To never wish away “now” for “next.”
