How To Enjoy Valentine’s Day, EVEN If You’re Single

Today’s post in this series on singleness and the church is a guest post by my friend and neighbor, Erin Thompson. “Nana_Na_Na. Nana_Na_Na. Hey_Hey_Goodbye.” If you are single, it is very likely you just can’t wait till February 15th. When the teddy bears come off the shelves and the roses fade away. When the impending…

you are not alone

you are not alone

i have a friend who has wrestled with God for a really long time about being single.  at one point, he truly felt that the Lord was asking him to surrender his dreams for a family, and learning to live in the tension between honestly wanting to surrender and yet not being super-happy about it…

Meet Happy
Simple Felicity is, at its heart, a blog based on the unshakeable belief that happiness really isn't all that complicated. It's often found in the simplest of things: good food, good books, and good company.
