Gaining Patience Through Trials and Tribulation

Gaining Patience Through Trials and Tribulation

The topic of this article is having patience in tribulation. I would like to share a personal experience with you to start things off. When I was 16 I was moving some very heavy furniture by myself. (I’ve never been the one to wait for the man power!) Well the next day my lower back was in terrible pain. I didn’t know what was wrong with it at the time but after several cat scans, x-rays, and..

Surviving the “Relationship Status”

Surviving the “Relationship Status”

Lori tossed her books onto her nightstand and then threw herself on her bed. She began crying and sobbing into her pillow. God had finally blessed her with an amazing man in her life and things were going great between them. She just couldn’t understand why she felt so scared and so upset. Lori had thought that once she began a relationship with someone that it would be fun and that it would..

Fitting In or Standing Out

Fitting In or Standing Out

I was 13 and it was high time I start finding a group of people to dress like, act like, be attracted to and be attractive to. I had to pick my style of clothes and personality type. I had to in order to fit in and feel accepted. There were so many people to act like though, how could I choose?

My choices were limited but looked a little bit like this: There were the nerdy media kids who have..

How to Handle Your Desire for a Boyfriend

How to Handle Your Desire for a Boyfriend

{Guest Post by Bethany Baird}

Annie was twenty-two going on twenty-three, boyfriend-less and struggling to trust in God. She lived in a small town, worked at a small business and went to a small church. Let’s just say the male prospects in town were small as well.

The longing in Annie’s heart to finally meet and marry the man of her dreams was becoming overbearing. How could she possibly remain..

True Love Waits…

True Love Waits…

As I sat down to write this article after praying I glanced down at my fingers resting on the keys of my little red laptop. My eyes glanced at the tiny silver ring that wrapped around my ring finger. I have had this ring since I was 13. It’s a purity ring. Inscribed on the silver are three simple and life changing words. “True Love Waits”. The entire time I wore this ring up until 4 days ago I..

What’s Growing in Your Garden?

What’s Growing in Your Garden?

“Kind hearts are the gardens, Kind thoughts are the roots, Kind words are the flowers, Kind deeds are the fruits, Take care of your garden And keep out the weeds, Fill it with sunshine, Kind words, and Kind deeds.”

― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

 

Kindness isn’t something that just happens. A kind heart must be cultivated, nourished, and watered. Ask the Lord to give you a kind heart, to make you..

College, Guys, and the Homeschooled Girl

School is starting and that means college will be commencing soon too. All of your friends are going off to college and you feel left out, shied into a corner and stuffed into a box with the rest of your homeschooled friends.

What’s worse is that maybe you’re old enough to have a boyfriend now and it seems like all of your friends have either been in a relationship or they are in one now...

The Older Sister Career

The Older Sister Career

It was a beautiful evening and I had an important, special event to go to. I rushed into my room and brushed out my hair. I put on my lipstick and curled my eyelashes. I primped and prepared and brushed and blushed in front of the mirror. I fixed my hair and donned my dress added the finishing touches and looked myself over in the mirror. As I gazed through the glass I looked at the reflection..

Rocks At My Window

Rocks At My Window

There’s a song I listen to every now and then by Bridget Mendler called “Rocks at My Window.” The chorus goes like this:

“We can run away for the weekend

But I’m here alone

Wish you’d go throwing rocks at my window

We could count the stars from your car hood

But I’m here alone

Wish you’d go throwing rocks at my window.”

From a Guy: How to Challenge the Guys in Your Life

Guest Post (By Beecher Proch)

Many of my girl friends are in mourning. They talk about their loss a TON (though they don’t go around dressed in black). In fact, we all talk about the loss. The reason for their mourning is simple: It’s the demise of manhood.

I don’t blame them. Where have the men gone? Are they under a rock?! (I’m a guy – I can say that.) When I go out to eat and there is a girl..
