Conquering My Inner Feminist
It’s not fair. Three little words that sparked the feminist movement. Women didn’t think it was fair that men were treated more importantly than women. They thought they were viewed with lesser value than the men and it wasn’t fair. In some aspects this was true and in some cultures today women are treated with little to no respect. But in my personal opinion I think America has become infested..
Welcome to A Lovely Calling
Welcome to the new name and website for Young Keepers of the Home. We are so excited to begin a new chapter in this ministry! We can’t wait to see how the Lord will use this blog and ministry for the glory of His name. We hope you will join us and come along for the ride.
Now, we know it’s a big change, and some people have asked “Why the change”? And here is our reply.
Our ministry used to..
Can I Really Trust God With My Future?
“If I do things my way I will be happy. I can’t trust God with something like this!”
“God’s ways are too religious for me, I need to make things happen my way or else I won’t be happy.”
“Only I know what I need. My future is my problem. Jesus can just come along with me for when I need help.”
“This is too precious a thing to trust God with.”
All of these statements are made from people who have..
When You Become Jealous of the World
If you are at all like me, you have a busy life, with lots to do, lots of work, lots of family, and a lot of responsibility. My family owns and operates a web design business from home; we home-school, cook and clean, care for a 20 acre Ranch, and care for each other on a daily basis.
With all of the work that is put into our farm and business it’s easy to become discontent and unhappy with the..
Top 10 Blog Posts of 2014!
Hello there, Beautiful!
It is the start of a new year, new goals, new friends, new days to begin and enjoy. As we look back on the year we have just experienced we are reminded of the times we were made stronger through hard days, the times we smiled and laughed so hard we couldn’t control ourselves, the times we loved deeply, and the times we cried ourselves to sleep. But we look ahead,..
What Your Dream Guy Wants in a Girl
I recently did an interview on the topic of dating, marriage and courtship. I was giving my thoughts on romance, boundaries, guys and how I want my future relationship to work out.
One of the questions the lady interviewing me asked was “what qualities are you looking for in guy?”
Talk about a super basic question that I should easily know the answer to. Wrong! I was totally caught off guard..
Be the Influence Instead of Being Influenced
The other day I was listening to a conversation between my youngest sister and youngest brother. As I sat there (harmlessly) listening to this conversation I heard my sister mimic something I had said earlier that day. I had no idea that Cali had been in the room when I said it but apparently she was and had just repeated me. Same tone of voice and everything!
This got me thinking. It just goes..
A Hospitable Heart for the Holidays
Oh yes, it’s that time of year again and I am soooo beyond excited for the upcoming holidays. At my house we have many traditions that I like to hold dear to my heart and it’s what makes me so cheery right around this time of year. Another reason why I love the holiday season is because of all the warm friendship that is felt between friends and family members. Home is at the center of..
Virtue and Chivalry in the 21st Century
The other day I was on Facebook and an ad for fashion came up that had the tagline describing their clothes as: “Noble, Elegant, Sexy, and Pure.” I thought, “Huh, that doesn’t sound right.” I mean, how did the word “Sexy” sneak its way in between the three other words?
In our generation, most people (mostly young people aged 13-30) just don’t even know the meaning of words like nobility,..
Purity, a Thing of the Past
Last night was the launch of Taylor Swift’s new and “improved” album, 1989. Girls everywhere are raving about the new pop icon’s greatest success and her amazing new style of music. I can’t help but notice that Taylor got her popularity by singing about broken relationships and whimsical love story songs. Don’t get me wrong. I love Taylor Swift and I used to truly respect and look up to this..
