Life can be so hard. There are so many difficulties that can come up each day. And I know how hard it can be to stay joyful during times like these. But when I’m going through hard parts of my life I always like to remember the story of Job. He lost all and went through an extremely difficult part of his life. But he still chose to be joyful and praise God. And that is the same attitude we each need to have when we go through hard parts in our lives. James 1:2-4 tells us “Count it all…
As daughter’s of the Lord, we should highly treasure our purity. It is one of the most important things we can possess. Whether you’re young or old, your purity should matter to you. Purity will look different in every season of life—single, married, or in a relationship. But in each of these seasons, you should work hard at guarding your purity physically, mentally, and emotionally. Psalm 119:9 ask us, “How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your [God’s] word.” Guarding your purity should be important to you because it is important to God.…
There are times when I have been so busy. Times when I have rushed through each day. I lived every day on autopilot. Doing my responsibilities and necessities without thinking beyond what had to be done. During these times I knew I needed rest. So I would make myself rest for a short while before completing the next thing on my to-do list. Even on the weekends, I would spend time scheduling my week and coming up with more things that had to be accomplished in the upcoming month. And sadly, during these times my relationship with the Lord was…
We have all lived through times of confusion. Whether it be confusion in our world, in the lives of those we know, or in our own lives. Confusion can be caused by so many things—chaos, miscommunication, differing beliefs, ect. It is something that we each have to deal with at some point in our lives. Being confused is not a bad thing. But letting that confusion disrupt your mind and spirit is. During times when you feel confused I would encourage you to go to God’s Word. It contains so much truth that will help you combat the lies and…
There is such a security in knowing what will happen in your life. To be in control of your everyday. Give yourself the opportunities you want. And be surrounded by the certain people you want. But if you are anything like me, you have realized that this is a complete impossibility. Some people may say that fate directs your life. Or karma leads your way. And other people don’t even think that much into who is controlling their lives. But as believers we can know that there is a God that controls all. In times of uncertainty and confusion, it…
In today’s culture, men are looked upon as weak beings. They are strongly viewed in a negative light. And while most men in today’s world are not the masculine Prince Charming that all of us girls look for, there are some men that still live up to this standard. These men stand for what’s right, treat women with respect, and follow God’s ways. They try their best to live a life of biblical manhood. I have written on the blog before about biblical womanhood and living out your femininity in a God-honoring way. But in this post I want to…
The season of singleness can be tough. Many girls want romance and a relationship. So when you are entitled as single, it can be very difficult. But God gives us the seasons of singleness for our good. This is a time that we can use to better ourselves and serve those around us. We don’t have to sit in misery waiting for the right guy to come along. The season of singleness can be used to help us in so many ways. If you are currently in a season of singleness, I want to encourage you during this time. Here…
