The Girl Next Door ☎︎: Welcome: The Tour

The Tour

Welcome to my blog or what I will commonly refer to as "my house"! So please, make yourself at home! It is here that I hope to share my heart with you girls as well as fun tips and words of wisdom. I am so happy you stopped by for a visit and I hope that it will not be your last!

Here is a brief overview of the "rooms" in my home. Each of my posts will be based off one of these categories. From recipes and book reviews to Bible study tips and devotionals, my desire is to share with my visitors what I know as well as what I am learning.

My Quiet Place

This is the area in my house where I spend time with the Lord. This genre will solely include spiritual related posts such as verses God has been speaking to me through, lessons God is currently teaching me, and ways in which Christians can deepen their relationship with the Lord. Most of my posts will be biblically based and I will often integrate scripture into posts outside of this category (after all, God is not limited to one room in the home of our hearts!). But My Quiet Place will be dedicated to our Creator alone. He deserves a special place free from distractions where we can completely focus on Him.

{ And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed. Mark 1:35 }

My Kitchen

Follow the yummy smells to My Kitchen where the delicious magic happens! In this room I will share yummy recipes and tips that will improve your domestic skills!

{ She looks well to the ways of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness. Proverbs 31:27 }

My Library

You will quickly discover that I love to read! In My Library, I will update on current books I am enjoying, discuss authors who have shaped my life, and review books that I have already shelved!

{ Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching. 1 Timothy 4:13 }

My Gym

Fitness advice, work out routines, and tips on healthy living...My Gym has it all!

{ Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 }

My Bedroom

My Bedroom will offer a variety of random posts such as pillow talks about life and peaks into the diary of my own life. Hopefully this will be a fun and casual way I can interact with you girls.

{ May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus. Romans 15:5 }

My Closet

Every girl has a unique style. Feel free to step into My Closet and I will show you some of my fashion favorites as we celebrate modesty.

{ Likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire. 1 Timothy 2:9 }

My Bathroom

Welcome to My Bathroom--I love to share beauty secrets and cute hair do's with my friends while we are all crowded behind one mirror. But more importantly, I love to remind my sisters in Christ of their inward God-given beauty that shines all over their faces!

{ Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear—but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. 1 Peter 3:3-4 }

My Study

One of my favorite tips to share, in a completely un-nerdy way, is how to study and stay organized! Step in to My Study so I can help you through tough homework, ridiculous teachers, and overwhelming amounts of stress.

{ A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels. Proverbs 1:5 }

My Media Room

And finally, my Media Room! Sit back and enjoy posts on movies, music, iPhone apps, and more!

{ Oh sing to the Lord a new song, sing to the Lord, all the earth!

tell of his salvation from day to day. Psalms 96:1 }
