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!

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.

Our homes and all..

What is a Woman?
What is a woman?
What is a woman if she is not kind?
What is a woman if she has not grace?
What is a woman if she is not pure and gentle?
What is a woman if she does not love?
Not just anyone can be a woman. It takes strength of mind, heart and soul. It takes undefiled love and devotion to ones family, friends and Lord.
A 13 year old girl with a sweet demeanor and a spirit that is one with the..
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..
