Hi! Welcome! Let’s Chat! I'm a 22-year-old newlywed, navigating life in a brand new city with a brand new job — and a heart full of questions, hope, and faith. Planted with Purpose is my little corner of the internet where I share the beauty and the mess of starting over, growing in marriage, building a career, and most importantly — learning to lean into Jesus more deeply every day.

This blog is about embracing the unknown, trusting God's timing, and discovering who Christ is — not just in church on Sunday, but in the everyday moments, decisions, doubts, and dreams. I don’t have it all figured out, but I believe I’ve been planted here for a reason. And maybe you have too.

If you’re feeling a little lost, uncertain, or in the middle of your own “new beginning,” I just want to say: I see you. I hear you. You’re not the only one figuring it out. This is a safe space for imperfect faith, honest reflections, and reminders that God is with us — even here, even now. You are not alone, and you have not been planted by accident.

Welcome, friend. Let’s grow together.

Friends! I’m Emily! I live just outside of Kansas City and recently got married back in May. My faith is a big part of my life, and I want to invite you along to learn, to grow and to fall deepr in love with our creator each and every day!

With Love,

Em
