    Learning from Great Women of Faith

    June 4, 2020

    There are so many influential Christians throughout history. Their lives were great examples that we can follow. And I love to look at the lives of great women of faith who lived in years past. I want to give you a list of women from the Scriptures and from history that have impacted my life in some way. Before I give you this list I want to make one thing clear though: these women are human. They are sinners and failed many times in their lives. The only perfect example we have is the Lord. These women are great examples…

    Rethinking Your View of Beautification

    August 15, 2019

    She was beautiful. Her lips and eyes were painted in beautiful colors. And her hair was intricately braided. She was adorned in gold jewelry and fine clothes. Jezebel was beautiful. And King Ahab fell for her beauty. Although Jezebel may have been beautiful, her heart was deceitful and wicked. Jezebel’s story is told in 1 Kings. And her story was not a pretty one. Even though she made herself beautiful by painting her eyes and wearing nice things, her heart was not in the least beautiful. Many times in the Scriptures the idea of beauty and beautification is shown with…

    July 16, 2019

The culture has found ways to change women’s ideas of what modesty truly is. I just want to say that each girl will have her own convictions about modesty. And she is completely entitled to. I just want to debunk a few of the lies about Christian modesty and modesty in general. Is modesty really important? Every woman is God’s creation. He designed you beautifully, just the way you are. Culture wants women to believe that…

    7 Bible Verses Every Girl Needs to Know

    June 18, 2019

    It can be hard to be a Christian girl in today’s society. With all of the comparison that comes from social media and our peers, staying true to your God-given identity can be hard. But God gives us so many verses that will turn us back to His ways and His design for us. Here are seven verses that I believe every girl needs to know: Proverbs 31:25-26 “Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.“ Psalm 139:14 “I…

    Becoming a Modern Day Hannah

    June 6, 2019

    She kneeled down and began to pray. Tears streamed down her face as she unashamedly poured her heart out to the Lord. Hannah was an ordinary woman with ordinary struggles. But she was more than just her difficulties. She knew who her God was and how He could turn her circumstance around. Although Hannah was an ordinary woman, she had an extraordinary God. Hannah is an example to all Christian women. Here’s why: Her life was not perfect. Hannah’s story is told in 1 Samuel 1. Just from that one chapter we learn that Hannah was married to a man…

    Becoming an Esther in Today’s Society

    March 21, 2019

    She was torn from all she knew, made to live among the king’s harem, and now was to be the new queen. Esther was more than your average woman. She found favor in the king’s eyes. But she was more than just a beautiful woman. She knew her purpose as a daughter of God, and it showed. In today’s society, women who follow God’s purpose and role for their lives are looked upon as weak and stupid. But Esther gives us a great example of a woman who lived her life with God’s purpose and role in mind. She lived…
