Bringing the True, Pure & Lovely into your Life.
A few weeks ago I was at bible study — a group of women from my church meet to study scripture and pray over each other. My prayer partner for the morning was the oldest women in the group, a widow, who lost her beloved some time ago. We finished praying for my stuff when [...]
photo source Have you heard the song by Tenth Avenue North called “Worn?” If you have, you know there’s a part of the song that says: “My prayers are wearing thin Yea I’m worn Before the day even begins.” That is my battle cry this week. I used to have a baby that slept through [...]
It’s ironic that this month we’re reflecting on 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit…? It’s ironic because I definitely don’t see my body as a temple right now. I see it as a chubbier version of what it used to be before a tiny [...]
How did last month go? Did you find ways to shower your hubby’s with love and kindness? It can be difficult at times, but it so important. For this month’s challenge, I want use March’s theme, Burst into Bloom, to guide us. Spring in such a time for renewal and seeing our world wake [...]
So how did January’s challenge go? We love our children more than words could ever express or explain, but they sure know how to push our buttons sometimes, don’t they? [I'm currently battling with my 3 month old over whether or not he should take a nap.... I am losing, losing bad]. Even during those hard [...]
Last month I introduced a new challenge for the ladies of Fancy Little Things: The Kindness Challenge. It sprung from an idea that the most radical thing we can do as Christians is to be kind, to love the heck out of each other, to spread the love of Jesus in big and small and [...]
A few years ago, our pastor in Missouri gave a sermon on biblically radical living. He said that nothing we could do as Christians could be more radical than this single expression of faith, a relatively simple concept, a notion that we have heard since we were children. “I’ve learned the most radical thing I [...]

In church last week, our pastor said that a telltale sign of a Christian is their reaction to fear. And more specifically where Christians place their hope when things get scary. Do we place it in the things of this world? Or do we place it in the big, beautiful promise of a future far [...]
When I think of fearlessness I generally think of people doing things I would never ever dream of. Bungee jumping over cliffs, hiking up steep mountains, selling everything and moving to a new country, putting themselves in danger, living for extreme adventure. When I think of fearlessness, I am the last person that comes to [...]

[sterling and diamond engagement ring set from Coco and Chia on Etsy] The other day, I was walking by a young woman on her computer and I saw that she was looking at engagement ring after engagement ring on Google images.
