Meet a Young Keeper of the Home!
Do you ever feel like you’re the only girl out there who still wants to “keep house?” I know I do! I often feel like I’m the only girl within a hundred miles that doesn’t want to have a traditional career. But that’s not the truth! All over America there are women living out their dreams of creating a beautiful home, and all for God’s glory! I’ve been blessed to personally know Michaela, who..
Things Your Mother Should Have Told You
25 THINGS YOUR MOTHER SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU
1. Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.
2. Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil. It will stay fresh much longer and not mold!
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..

Are you praying for your future husband or current husband? Has he been in your prayers? Ladies, we need to make a commitment to PRAY AND PRAY HARD for our men. He needs your prayers. He needs them daily. Pray for his day, pray for his relationship with the Lord, pray for his family, and pray for him to have strength and integrity.

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!

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..
