When you’re walking through the wilderness

I'm getting on here to ramble and just be vulnerable for a minute. Jesus has been doing a whole heck of a lot in my life and it's been overwhelming. It's been good. But it has been a lot to process. As a lot of you know (don't worry I won't bore you by repeating …

What 2018 taught me and why I’m happy it was so hard

2018 was a big old ball of ups and downs. And when I say ups and downs, I mean high highs and low lows. It's human nature to want to control our own lives. We try so hard to control this thing, that person and that outcome but it rarely ever works. Actually, does it …

When life seems too much to handle

No matter who you are, life can be downright hard. As a believer I used to think problems sort of just went away or became super easy to handle once you became a Christian. Like I'd say, "hey Jesus, it's Kristi again and life is tough right now, will you send help?" And then boom! …

To the people pleaser

Answering your marriage questions!

Whether you're married or dating, no relationship is perfect. I want to start this post by saying that because I know social media can make my marriage or somebody else's look like it's always rainbows and butterflies, but it's not. Marriage (or whatever stage of a relationship you're in) is amazing, tough, fulfilling, lots of …

Trusting God’s timing in the midst of chaos

We know that trusting God is one of the most important things when it comes to Christianity, but why the heck is it so hard? It's easy to trust God when life is going the exact way we want it to- we're crushing it at our job, our marriage is full of rainbows and butterflies …

Remembering who you are in the midst of hard times

When life is all hunky dory it's easy to remember our worth and our identity. When life starts throwing curveballs left and right, well, we forget who we are. At least I do. Our worth may change in other people's eyes when circumstances change that send us down a road we wish we weren't on, …
