Welcome To My World!

Hello & Welcome!

I have decided to start a blog, and will be committed to updating it at least weekly. I have a lot of thoughts and things I ponder on which I am almost certain aren't too far from things you may think about. My blog will consist of many different topics of discussions: What is it like to be young in the church, relationships in the church, college life, young pursuing marriage, friendships, agriculture, and much more. I am just sharing my experiences and thoughts about life.

I like to talk and if anyone has anything that they would like me to discuss in a blog, please feel free to email me at Shotikasmith7@gmail.com and I will definitely add it to the list (if appropriate). None of these posts will be an attack on any individuals or groups of people, everything will be appropriate and God-centered.

Again, welcome and I am excited you are joining me to just have real talk! First blog coming in the next couple of days!

My husband and I have found a passion for helping young couples who desire to get married or are currently experiencing marital difficulties. We have attended several marriage conferences, surrounded ourselves with amazing marriages and we have also trained to facilitate conversation for marriages on the bri...
