Abide and Shine Gifts

Welcome to Abide and Shine Gifts,

The name Abide and Shine comes from two scriptures that shape everything I do:
“Abide in me and I in you...” (John 15:5)
“Let your light shine before others...” (Matthew 5:16)

My blog is, at its heart, a Christian lifestyle blog. If even one person finds something meaningful here, I will be happy. I write purely out of joy—to share all that I have learned, am learning, and wish to learn about Christianity and life.

Please join my newsletter (sent straight straight to your inbox each Wednesday) and leave comments below my posts (new blog posts on Mondays)

—I would love to build a community of like-minded people.

I hope this space brings calm, comfort, and connection to your own journey.

If you’d like to know more about my story, you can read my faith journey here.

Thank you for stopping by.

Yours warmly,
A
