Work. Relationships. Ministry. Housekeeping. Shopping. It drains me. I can’t always keep up. And I feel like a failure.
That’s why I need something to help me do these things with joy.
That’s where A Word of Life comes in.
Pour yourself a comforting cup of tea, coffee, or chocolate. Let’s talk.

- Fund a home
- Navigate living with parents or roommates
- Ensure safety
- Build community
- Practice unconventional hospitality
Check out the many biblical insights and practical tips found in Opening the Hope Chest: A Single Girl’s Guide to Homemaking.
