First, I want you to know that you are special and you can have amazing encounters with God daily. You are never so lost that God cannot use your life to do beautiful things. You are found in Him. (Colossians 3:2-3) Second, I’d like to talk to you about your calling…
4 Prayers That Will Change The Way You Live
As Christians, we are on a journey, learning how to die to ourselves, our flesh, the things that separate us from God. It’s not always talked about, but there it is. We are learning how to die. In other words, we aren’t here to please ourselves, we aren’t here to follow people, we aren’t here to impress others with our spiritual gifts, we are only here to follow Jesus. But Lord knows, we need Jesus to follow Jesus and prayer helps.
The Undeserving Gift of Peace
I have been overwhelmed again. This year, I have been praying for God to give me more clients in my job because it has been a hard year financially. I was hoping that maybe He would give me a new client every other month; I need a space between clients because of the workload. Unfortunately,…

When I Learned to Have Joy in My Suffering
The seed contains the blessings of life. It is so small, so frail, yet it produces vegetables, fruit, trees, flowers – all wonderful nutrition from which we thrive. However, does the seed know this when we plant it in the ground? Does it understand how strong and beautiful it will be after its season under…
Love Lessons: My First Relationship
Looking back at the year 2014, I wanted to share with you an area of my life where God did some tremendous training – my first relationship. Being in a relationship is a lot different than we are conditioned to believe. Many TV shows and movies portray relationships that involve drama, lying, betrayal, and love…
Living in Grace
Hi again, Princesses! My name is April, and I’m a good friend of Katya’s. (Remember me from the Examining Love series?) I’m so excited that Katya asked me to write to you girls again; having a little voice in your lives is an honor I don’t take lightly at all. When I found out that…
Happy 1st Anniversary to TAYP!
It has been quite a year! When I first started this blog I did not consider myself to be a writer. I only knew I had been given a dream about writing a blog for girls/women. Thankfully, I am a web designer and knew how to make that happen on the technical side, but in…
God Wants to Restore Your Family
“God Wants to Restore Your Family” is what I posted on Instagram this week. Now when I say “restore,” I’m not talking about just bringing separated parents back together or siblings moving back home, although I’m not saying He won’t do that either. I believe God wants to do something deeper than just physically restoring…
