About Us
The Grit and Grace Project is a community of women that understand life struggles are real. We believe within each of us is the strength to conquer and a purpose to be accomplished. We rely upon the source of our faith as we address every area of a woman’s life, knowing that if we embrace both Grit and Grace women can and will change the world.
Why We Started.....
The Grit and Grace Project was launched to bridge the marketplace of Christian principles with the needs of real life women. In everything we do, our intent is to provide an easy to read and understood approach to all of our subjects. This is not a “Christian Website,” although we are women of faith. We are determined to write in a relatable format that will help women navigate life. The core of our pieces should be instructive, entertaining, and relatable. Our hope is that by doing so we are building a relationship that will enable us to have the privilege of sharing our faith, and asking about theirs. Think of our site as offering DIY’s for life, with our personal experiences thrown in.

Forgive others, and you will be forgiven. Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back” (Luke 6:37-38, NLT).
