Girl or Woman, Which One Are You?
I was in town the other day driving around with my younger sister when I spotted the most mind boggling bumper sticker I have ever seen. Now, I have traveled a lot and I have seen many bumper stickers. Some were humorous, others rude, and some biblical, but this topped them all because it caused me to become angry-over a sticker! It said “HISTORY NEVER REMEMBERED WOMEN WHO BEHAVED”. I sat and..
A Lovely Atmosphere at Home
Cooking, cleaning, dishes, laundry, children and chores day in and day out can get discouraging and tiresome. We wake up everyday and are faced with all of the same duties as yesterday. This makes it even easier to lose the vision of virtuous, beautiful, homemakers. We forget why we do what we do. Our mission here at A Lovely Calling is to keep that vision alive and refreshed. Our homes and all..
When You are Feeling Guilty
“I don’t know whats wrong with me.” “I feel so bad about it that I can’t tell anyone.” “Why did I have to do that?” “I feel like such a wicked person.”
All of these statements and more have been felt and said by everyone. We all have messed up, said and done things we wish we hadn’t. Sweet girl, I want to help you if you feel this way! I know how it feels to feel condemned and angry at..
A Young Lady’s Testimony
This is a testimony from a young lady on our blog. In regard to my article called “Where are all the godly men at?” (http://wp.me/P3yl1s-8S) she wrote this and gave me permission to post it.
Hi there Lisa =)
I could not agree with your sentiments more wholeheartedly, the reason being that I have learnt them to be true by experiencing this in my own life. For most of my younger teenage years, I..
What’s Holding you Back?
Sometimes, the cares and worries, the problems, the distractions, the circumstances of this life can and will burden you. It could be an unseen tension-anything that is weighing your spirit down, it can be something that made you mad three days ago that is still bothering you! But whether it is any of the things I mentioned above or not -there is always something that can hinder us from being..
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..
In Your Arms
I’m turning the world off
Embracing the silence
Walking away from all the voices
That are screaming in my ear
I’ve been too caught up
I’ve been so stressed out
And all of the noise replaced the whisper
That used to be so clear
So I close every door
And put my face back on the floor
And I’m in Your arms
Where I belong
There’s no other place for me
Than right where You are
Some things just don’t..
“God Imparts Himself to Us”
Whisper Thy Peace to My Soul
As soon as he received Anna’s telegram, Horatio left Chicago without delay to bring his wife home. Sailing across the Atlantic Ocean the captain of the ship called Horatio to the bridge. He informed Horatio that “A careful reckoning has been made and I believe we are now passing the place where the Ville du Havre was wrecked. The water is three miles deep.” That night, alone in his cabin..
Qualities of a Good Husband
“Daughter! Get you an honest man for a husband, and keep him honest. No matter whether he is rich, provided he be independent. Regard the honor and moral character of the man more than all other circumstances. Think of no other greatness but that of the soul, no other riches but those of the heart. An honest, sensible, humane man, above all the littleness of vanity and extravagances of..
