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?
“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
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..
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..
Social Media Life vs. Real Life
It had been a long and exhausting day for Sierra at work. Her co-workers, as usual had been mean to her, she still hated her job and her friends were ignoring her texts. Sierra slumped onto her couch and opened up her laptop. She spent about half an hour catching up on Facebook, about twenty minutes on Twitter then headed to Pinterest to get rid of her boredom. Then Sierra had an idea after..
Made To Be Brave
Recently, Jesus called me through a few trials and lessons that needed to be learned. During this time, I was able to go deep to the root of the situation in this time of closeness to Him. The Lord exposed and cleansed me of so many things and I am so thankful that He did! I was able to recognize the self-pity and loneliness I was feeling and was finally able to call it what it was – sin. But..
My Dad’s Advice to Me About Love and Marriage
Two weeks ago my dad and I went on an amazing trip to WA DC to visit family and see the monuments and capitol of our country. We had a fun time together and it was really special to spend so much time with my father.
While we were there walking around together my sweet dad took the opportunity of just him and I being together to talk to me seriously about life, love, courtship, and marriage. I..
Shouldn’t Guys Be Modest Too?
“Why is modesty constantly directed towards women?” “What about men being modest too?”
Have you ever asked yourself or others this question? Have you ever read an article or book on modesty and wonder why one wasn’t written for men too? Several women asked me the above questions more than three or four times last week. It’s a great question/topic. I hope that when this article is read that no..
