Things Your Mother Should Have Told You
25 THINGS YOUR MOTHER SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU

3. Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating. Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better..
Being a Lady-According to Elisabeth Elliot
“To me, a lady is not frilly, flouncy, flippant, frivolous and fluff-brained, but she is gentle, she is gracious, she is godly and she is giving. You and I have the gift of femininity… the more womanly we are, the more manly men will be and the more God is glorified. Be women, be only women, be real women in obedience to God.”
― Elisabeth Elliot
Continuing Steadfastly in Prayer
Have you read the new Goals for Girls devotional? Here is the link: http://ow.ly/oRP3j
You may not ever see the results of the prayers but Jesus never promised that you would! He promised to hear them and to either bless you by answering them-or He has so much of a bigger plan that you could never fathom. Sometimes He is protecting us from something and chooses not to answer your prayer. But..

Making Your Family’s Joy Your Goal
Today, make your family’s joy your greatest goal. Make your sister smile.

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!

A Slave to My Phone
A Slave to My Phone
“Have you ever had one of those moments where you wish you could rewind the time and do things differently? I had one of those moments several weeks ago. I was running late and needed to grab a quick birthday present for my little sister. I zoomed to Old Navy and found a few cute shirts for her and then hurried home to get to the party on time. I set my bags down and reached..
Here’s My Heart
Come Thou Fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,
Mount of God’s unchanging love.
Here I raise my Ebenezer;
Hither by Thy help I’m come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me..
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..
