Marriage Honesty
Marriage Honesty [Editor’s Note: I had the awesome opportunity to do a Q&A with Molly Reed of the husband/wife music duo Grayson|Reed. They are honest in their songs and have a strong marriage message that I love. Here is some backstory on Grayson|Reed before we dive into the interview… Mike and Molly met their first week of college as entering freshman at Nashville’s Belmont University. Over the next 10 years, the aspiring artists floated in and out of one another’s social circles, gradually building a unique friendship that eventually became a strong relational foundation when they started dating in 2012. The following year, they said “I do,” and two years later, they…

Do Not Worry
Do Not Worry [Editor’s note: This is a guest post by Rachel Myers. I so appreciated how candid she was in telling her story. I loved the style of this post and could relate to it so much — sometimes that worry just takes over! Thank you so much for helping spur other women forward, Rachel!] Matthew 6:25-34 New International Version (NIV) 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or…

How to Serve the People Around You
How to Serve the People Around You [Editor’s Note: This is a guest post by Hailey Hudson. After our recent post by Britney Christian Miller on ministry work overseas, I thought this was a great follow-up! Many of us aren’t able to actually travel, but we can serve right at home!] I went on my first mission trip—a week-long excursion to Florida—when I was four years old, and I was immediately hooked. Brought up in a Christian home with a dad who worked closely with missionaries from all over the world, I understood the importance of sharing Christ with the world. I went on my first international mission trip when I was…

Priscilla and the Art of Focus
Priscilla and the Art of Focus [Editor’s Note: This is the first in a series of guest posts by Remi Roy. She will be sharing devotionals related to people in the Bible! I’m so excited to have these as an addition to Devotional Diva. Thank you so much, Remi!] The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you heartily in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. 1 Corinthians 16:19, NKJV I have pondered this thought for a while now. We aren’t busier today than older generations were in their time, only more distracted. Man has always been and will always be busy. There are…

Casa di Giulietta — Verona, Italy
Happy Valentines Day, Divas!! In our last Devotional Diva post, I shared most of our trip to Vicenza and Verona, Italy… LEAVING OUT THE MOST ROMANTIC (YET FICTIONAL) PART! I saved Casa di Giulietta in Verona for a special Valentines Day post! We had to do it. I love Romeo & Juliet. It’s supposed to be where she lived. There is a statue of Juliet, there is her infamous balcony and a small museum. (What I really want to know is where is the pool that Leonardo DiCaprio falls into in the movie version???) Also — there’s a tomb not far from here. We didn’t make it over there. While…

Verona & Vicenza, Italy: Diva Travel Trip Recap
A couple weeks ago, we decided to take advantage of our current location in Croatia and check out a more northern area of Italy — the Veneto region. We set our sights on mainly Vicenza and Verona. We are going to do Venice as a separate trip at some point. Venice is super nearby, but there is a lot to do!

Let Your Light Shine
[Editor’s Note: Today I’m thrilled to share a Q&A with actress, model and filmmaker Miranda Cobb. She is a woman of faith with big dreams! I hope her story inspires you. Thank you, Miranda!] MW: What do you feel is your calling or mission in life? MC: The mission God has for me is being the light and vessel to ultimately shine in one of the darkest industries- the media. MW: Are there any moments in your life that stands out as forming that mission or calling? MC: I went to a Talent convention a couple of years ago that was centered on Christ. It was really profound, in terms, of…

Galentine’s Day Gift Ideas
Galentine’s Gift Ideas Hey Divas. Have you heard of Galentine’s Day? It falls on February 13th, and it is a holiday to celebrate your female friendships! If you google it, you’re going to probably see a lot of information about the episode of Parks & Recreation called “Galentine’s Day.” I won’t lie. This is where I heard about it. If you’ll recall, Parks and Recreation was also the inspiration for the Devotional Diva tagline “Devote Yourself!” (From the famous “Treat Yo’ Self” episode.) I wanted to inspire you to celebrate sisterhood this Valentine’s season, so I’ve put together a cute little gift guide. These are all products I use and can…

Becoming a Mom is Completely Terrifying (and so is really being one!)
[Note: This is an updated version of my blog post that was originally published on Devotional Diva before I had my son in May 2015. I was recently telling a friend about this post. I was having major brain fog and was like, “Oh man, what was it called? Becoming a mom is completely…? Anxiety…?” It made me want to look back at the post and I decided to update it a little.] Becoming a mom is completely terrifying. Almost every night for the past few weeks, I’ve started falling asleep…and then I realize, I’M GOING TO BE A MOM. I go into a panic, thinking about how hard it will…

How I Plan + Blog Planning
How I Plan + Blog Planning Tips In today’s lifestyle post, I thought I’d share my current planner set-up with you and some blog planning tips. I thought it might be interesting, since I know there are quite a few planner enthusiasts out there! I’m currently using an A5 Aqua Patent Domino Filofax and Month on 2 Pages inserts from the Etsy shop DearPlanner. In February, I will be using stickers from the Etsy shop MareBareCrafts — these little dewdrops are a lot smaller than the Martha Stewart comparables but are very similar and actually removable, too. My system for blog planning is fairly streamlined at this point. I have to…
