Hello and welcome to Coffee and Thrive! My name is Sara, and I’m so excited to launch this blog and share with you! Coffee and Thrive is a Christian lifestyle blog driven by the idea of intentional living–both in life and in faith.
Intentional living can be different for everyone, but for me, it means not letting your life slip away and get caught up in all the busyness and chaos that every day seems to bring. It’s making the important things a priority and simplifying my life in a way that makes that possible without being overwhelmed.
Intentional living is walking in faith, both in the big things life brings, and in the smaller humdrum moments that make up my every day. It’s letting God have His way with my life and walking daily in His will. That is what intentional living means to me.
Why I Am Here
I started this blog to share what I learn as I navigate through life and what that looks like with my faith. It is my hope that I can encourage you to live your life with purpose in the calling that the Lord has put on your life. If I can help someone get their life on track and living their everyday for the Lord, then I’ll consider this a job well done.
The idea for this blog started shortly after moving into our new home. I began to realize how overwhelmed I had felt at our last place. It had been my husband’s and my first place together. Just a small apartment. We were newly married, trying to learn how to balance marriage, a home, and all the things life throws at you.
Not having a clear plan, and unsure how to handle everything, I fell behind on many things. When we bought our house, I used it as an opportunity to finally catch up and get a fresh start. And it felt so good!
And that’s when the idea of intentional living began to present itself to me. And along with that, the idea of being intentional with my faith.
The more I thought about it, the more convinced I was that I needed to make it a part of my life. And so here I am!
Now my goal is to live every day with intention and purpose in the Lord’s calling for my life. I’m so excited to see how my life unfolds for both my husband and myself. And for our future family of course! I want to cultivate an environment where my family and I can thrive in.
What You'll Find Here
I’ll be posting about my faith and about living my life on purpose for my family and for the Lord.
My posts will be about life, my Christian faith, marriage, and the myriad of things that those encompass. Ranging from habits and running a home, to clothing, the Bible, and maybe even the occasional DIY. All with the idea of faith-driven intentional living as the basis for everything I do on here. Let’s live our lives so that we thrive instead of flounder.
So with that, thank you for being here! I can’t wait to go on this journey with you!
