Seven years ago, a heartbroken teen began stringing words together until her heart ached a little less. She posted her words online until, eventually, she discovered a whole world of people who offered their heart ramblings online, too.
She was a goner from that moment on.
That heartbroken teen was me. And I’m still hanging around on the internet, throwing words together and trying to make sense of this crazy faith I have. The scenery is different, but the heart is the same.
If you are looking for theological discussions with big words and even bigger answers, you will have to look elsewhere.
If you love Jesus, but you still have questions, you’re among friends here. We don’t have it all figured out. In fact, we are just pilgrims passing through, wrestling our way past the hot messes we are to get to our Heavenly Father.
We love Jesus. And we love people. And sometimes we only love people because we love Jesus, and loving people is kind of important to Him.
We are real. We are honest. And, occasionally, we are hilarious.
If that’s alright with you, you might be our kind of people.
And if you’re our kind of people? Well, welcome home.
Take a Look Around:
Chances are good that you already know a little bit about me, but just in case you don’t, head on over to the Meet Courtney page. Once there, you’ll find a little more information about my heart for this space.
If you’re looking for some other blogs to check out, make sure to head over to a list of my favorite blogs. It certainly isn’t an exhaustive list; I have no doubt that it will change and grow over time. But it’s a good start, so go browse.
I am a complete and total book nerd, so I obviously had to have a favorite books section. Check it out if you’re into that sort of thing. (Spoiler: I am definitely into that sort of thing.)
Once you get to know me, you’ll discover that there are numerous ministries and organizations that mean a great deal to me. Head on over to the list of my favorite organizations and learn about a few of them. Once again, I’ll say that this list certainly isn’t exhaustive and is bound to expand over time.
Finally, you’ll find the privacy policy of this new space here. I am no lawyer and I probably did it all wrong, but I’m counting on grace. Just know that I want us to be friends and though I trust God to protect this place, I want to do my part to ensure that we have the best possible experience here.
That’s it, folks! I am so excited to be here and I sincerely hope that you are, too.

As always you are able to share your unique take on life through the eyes of a follower of Jesus. Thank you… for saying those things my heart sometimes whispers in the night before my brain can find a pencil to write it all down ❤️

You did always have a way with words. I truly am speechless on what to say…. I missed you and your family. You all grown up beautifully and I have seen your dad still goofy as ever. Reading your words stir up all kinds of feeling within me and my soul. Someone like you should never have to go threw a heart break like you did. A broken heart is like a broken bone. It hurts like the Dickens but when healed soo much stronger. From time to time you will still feel that pain but always remember that GOD HEALS ALL WOUNDS. God will never let you down. He is always by your side. When you feel like you stuck in a tunnel dark n alone calling out to that one all powerful name… “hint starts with a G”… he will be their ready for you. To shine a light most beautiful that’s already inside you. To free you from the emptiness and fill you with warmth and unconditional love. I do apologize for rambling. I kinda just throw out what I feeling. Hopefully it all makes sense. Take care Miss Courtney my thoughts n prayers are always with you. And your family ofcourse.

Thank you, Kelly! Your kind words are so appreciated. And you are absolutely right–a broken heart hurts like crazy, but when we hand the broken pieces to God, He really can make something beautiful out of it.
