She Reads Truth

As I mentioned in my post about Bloglovin', one of my favorite blogs is She Reads Truth.
What I didn't mention, but would like to today, is that She Reads Truth (and it's companion He Reads Truth) are more than blogs. They're apps, they're outreach, they're devotional, and they're a great way to inject God's Word into daily life.
I'm the stereotypical, attached to my phone, twenty-something; having God's Word in a comprehensive and well formatted (free!) app right in front of my face has been a game changer for me.
The studies range from free to $1.99 and are generally from a compilation of relevant Christian voices - from Amanda Bible Williams to Jen Hatmaker and beyond - and can be anywhere from a few days to the Bible in 365.
All the ones I've participated in have been transformative; most notably the Hospitality study, which encouraged and allowed me to lean into what I believe to be one of my spiritual gifts in a way that never even would've occurred to me.
God's Word never returns void and the She Reads Truth studies are so based in and founded on His Word that I can't imagine one being lackluster.
If you're anything like me and struggle with either finding the right study, finding the time, finding the place, finding the motivation and feeling like you maybe aren't finding God very easily; please download this free app today - it's available for iOs and Android. If it can help keep me on track, I'm convinced it can help most anyone.

Just fyi, this isn't a sponsored post. She Reads Truth didn't ask for this endorsement. I just really appreciate their app, love God, and am kind of a mess so I need all the tools I can find to help keep me dedicated

Bloglovin'

Follow my blog with Bloglovin'

I'm on another form of social media!

Some of my favorite blogs - including A Beautiful Mess and #SheReadsTruth and Joy the Baker - have a presence on Bloglovin' and I've recently started using it myself.



It's very convenient (especially if your phone is glued to your hand all day like mine) and I think I love it a little. So if you're interested please look me up!

The Giving Tree

They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree; I can only hope that's true. Because my mom has given me so much; she's my role model, my friend, and my mentor. She takes care of me and she teaches me. Most importantly, she builds my faith. And I miss her so much when we're apart. 
She doesn't only teach and build me; God is constantly expanding her ministry. Today, she took a step of faithfulness and began posting online no longer just her words, but her voice & I'm so proud of her. And, for the first time, I got to be a Monday Night Lady from a great distance!!
The audio is on her blog, Glimpsed Glory, and it's blessing and challenging me hugely.
