I’m Valerie! I am a 24 year old wife and youth pastor. On my blog I will be sharing some of my favorite recipes, things God is showing me, fashion, good deals, & things I find inspirational or interesting. I have always had a love for writing since I was in elementary school. Now I prefer to write in a personal journal, but I thought I would take a leap of faith, share things on here, and hopefully it will encourage you!
