    Welcome Back to the BarnPrincess!

    Nine years ago I started a blog on BlogSpot called The BarnPrincess. When I started the blog I thought that it would be something fun to do. It was just meant to be a hobby, a way to be creative, share recipes and crafts, and encourage other single Christian women. I started it with no clear direction. Just a desire to share recipes, DIY’s and my faith. I thought other women are doing it so why can’t I? Well, sharing my faith and sharing my life took over the blog. Mainly because I was terrible about planning ahead for recipes and DIY’s. Every day for nearly four years, I wrote…

    Spiritual Directory Assistance

    There is a pin that I have seen floating around Pinterest for a while now called “Spiritual Directory Assistance.” The first time that I saw it I really liked it. I thought that it would be great to print out and keep in my Bible or my Bible study notebook so when I hit a rough path (and you know we all do) I could just look up a chapter or verse and read through them so I pinned it. Then one day as I was going through my Walking by Faith Pinterest board I took a moment to really read through the list of verses that they gave and…

    How to Stop Complaining and Be Happier

    Read: Ephesians 4:25-32 When I was in college, I heard of a Christian group called Building 429. I heard their music on the radio & when they played a concert at a college near me, I was one of the chaperones who accompanied the youth group.  At that time, I actually got a chance to meet them and when I heard how they chose the name of their group and the verse from which they got their name, that story has stuck with me. Building 429 chose their name because of Ephesians 4:29. They want to be a band that builds up and edifies others This verse has also shown…

    When the Church Fails You

    I have been avoiding this post. I haven’t wanted to write it. I have cleaned my house from top to bottom. I have rearranged furniture, and I have done craft project after craft project to avoid writing this which is why there were no posts from me last week. It is one thing for me to confront my own failures as a member of the body of Christ, but in this post I must do something that I hate doing and that is confronting someone else. In this case, I am confronting the Church, but while I am very uncomfortable doing this, it is something that just won’t leave me…

    How I Failed the Church

    In the home that I grew up in, I had no choice but to go to church, but even though I had no choice I loved going to church. I loved the people there. I loved the hymns we sang and the praise music that we started incorporating as I grew older.  Every summer the adults of the church would take a camping trip and go floating. By the time I was old enough to go almost the entire church was going and it had become a weeklong trip for many of us, not just the weekend. I felt like I was part of a giant family, and for someone…

    ABC’s of Who We Are In Christ

    “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) When we accept Christ, when we believe in Him, and we repent of our sins, we become a new creation, but if you are like me in anyway, you might struggle with seeing yourself as that new creation and seeing yourself the way that God sees you. The following verses are to help you (and me) remember who we are in Christ.  Because of Christ you are: Accepted  Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. (1 Corinthians 12:27a ESV)…

    The One Constant

    In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made. In Him was life, and that life was the light of me. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.—John 1:1-4   We live in a world of constant changes. As we have seen in the last few years, nothing in our lives are certain. From pandemics to economic stressors, we have gone through a lot in the last few years. If you are anything like…
