TagA Whole New Perspective on the Proverbs 31 Woman
Proverbs 31…We know it like the back of our hand. We’ve read, studied and dissected this lone chapter of the Bible set apart specifically for women. I personally grew up listening to my mom read this chapter over and over and listened to her teach it to women. I’ve done countless studies on the “Proverbs 31 Woman” and tried earnestly to meet the expectations set for women in this..
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..
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

Classical Literature
“Since it is so likely that children will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage. Otherwise you are making their destiny not brighter but darker.”

The Power of Our Prayers
A woman’s prayers are so important and precious to God and her family. The other day I kept reminding myself to pray for two specific things that were really weighing on my heart. Within the next 24 hours God had answered and blessed both of my prayer petitions! I am not saying that if you avidly pray that God will answer your prayers the next day; but rather there is power in our prayers!..
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..
Are Your Dreams His Dreams?
Is your will Gods own? Is your future, your dreams and desires God’s? And how can you tell? How can you tell if your will is what God desires for your life.
I spent my whole life running from Gods plan for me. I knew what I was supposed to do because it was in the Bible, it was what my mom had taught me, it was what God himself had spoken into me. To be a wife and mother and keeper of my home...
Take My Voice, & Let Me Sing
Take my voice, and let me sing always, only, for my King.
Take my lips, and let them be filled with messages from Thee.
Take my silver and my gold; not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect, and use every power as Thou shalt choose.
Words: Frances R. Havergal.
I love this second stanza…. Take my voice, and let me sing. Having these words stuck in your head during the day lets you put..
