Making Your Family’s Joy Your Goal

Today, make your family’s joy your greatest goal. Make your sister smile.
Help your brother laugh. Let your mother rest. Make your father proud.
Really try! Set hourly goals in your head and strive to fulfill them.
Only Jesus can help you accomplish this though.You can do nothing on your own.
Ask Him to be a shinning example and light through you. Good luck!

Dreaming About Married Life…

Don’t spend your discontent moments daydreaming about married life. It happens to all of us. We become discontent and harried and look out over that pile of dirty dishes and sigh about the day when you’ll be able to be supper on the table for the man of your dreams- when there’s a guy in your life who needs you, not just to change his diaper or feed him his applesauce.

But…sowing habits of..

Can You Hear Him Calling?

Can you hear Him calling? Can you hear Jesus saying, “Child, come into my presence. I wan’t to spend the day with you. I want to be in your thoughts and your words, but first you must come to me.”
If your like me when I wake up I usually want to lie in bed as long as I can and shut the day ahead of me out of my mind. My first morning thoughts are not on Jesus. I want them to be so badly though!..

“God Imparts Himself to Us”

Worship is so vital to our relationship with Christ. I love this quote by C.S.Lewis because when we worship we invite God in. Into what? Into our minds, our hearts, our circumstance, our day, our jobs, our lives. So you see, when you raise your heart to Jesus while whispering, singing or praising God, there is a lot more going on than you might think. God wants all of you. He wants your..

Are Your Dreams His Dreams?

 Is your will Gods own? Is your future, your dreams and desires God’s? And how can you tell? How can you tell if your will is what God desires for your life.

I spent my whole life running from Gods plan for me. I knew what I was supposed to do because it was in the Bible, it was what my mom had taught me, it was what God himself had spoken into me. To be a wife and mother and keeper of my home...

Take My Voice, & Let Me Sing

Take my voice, and let me sing always, only, for my King.
Take my lips, and let them be filled with messages from Thee.
Take my silver and my gold; not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect, and use every power as Thou shalt choose.
Words: Fran­ces R. Ha­ver­gal.

I love this second stanza…. Take my voice, and let me sing. Having these words stuck in your head during the day lets you put..

Finding Beauty in Your Home

When your hair is frazzled and the house is a mess; when dinner isn’t cooked and the kids are hyper and creative (in a bad way) how do you see the beauty of homemaking? How do you see beauty in your calling? Ladies, you NEED TO LOOK FOR IT! Look for the little things in your home that make you happy. Look for smiles, look for color, look for GOD. Seeing the light of joy and innocence shine in..

Rather be Morally Right than Socially Correct.

To the U.S Senate in 1950 a famous preacher named Peter Marshall stood up and said:

“I believe women come nearer fulfilling their God given function in the home then anywhere else. It is a much nobler thing to be a good house wife then to be Miss America… The world has enough women who know how to be smart. It needs women who are willing to be simple. The world has enough women who know how to..

Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
