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..
The Hidden Person of the Heart
“Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.”
You are beautiful just the way you are. I am not speaking of outward beauty but when you were born God gave you a beautiful spirit. You..
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
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..
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..
Faultless in the Glory of His Presence!
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling,
And to present you faultless
Before the presence of His Glory with exceeding joy,
To God our Savior,
Who alone is wise,
Be glory and majesty,
Dominion and power,
Both now and forever. Amen. Jude 1:24-25
Jesus does not just stop with loving us. He wants to protect us! He will not let us stumble into danger, He will be our keeper and uphold us..

~The Kitchen Truly is the Heart of Home~
Everyone loves walking into the kitchen and finding something delicious or refreshing to eat. The most wonderful things are created in kitchens! Everyone walks in and out of the kitchen all day… (in my house at least) The kitchen is the most beautiful room in a house, why? Because so much goes on in there! Little tummies get fed, loved ones are blessed,..
