Some of you have waged battles against the flesh, works of repentance have been done, out of obedience to parents, to the Word, and it’s a work that needs to be acknowledged, praised, rejoiced over, and seen as valuable considering you’ve gone against the flow, perhaps sacrificing relationships which would have compromised you, purposely choosing [...]

Our good friend Candice Watters has some excellent things to say in response to the argument that daycare is actually good for mothers and children: Last Sunday, after eating scrambled eggs and donuts for brunch, we shifted to the living room for coffee and conversation with our guests, a young newly married couple in the [...]

Women used to know the importance of being in the home. They realized the gravity of their roles of being a wife and mom and knew that abdicating their roles would most certainly not be good for the family. I personally know that I could not be the wife and mom that the Lord has [...]

I used to have nightmares about mannequins when I was a little girl. Seriously. They creeped me out. No matter where the dream started, I always ended up running from an army of mannequins, gasping for air as I finally made it to Daddy’s office, tentatively calling out his name, my eyes pinned to the [...]

In the ten years since I committed my life to Jesus Christ, I have often wondered about my purpose. What are the most important things for me to be doing in life? Gradually, my focus has shifted from the question “what do I want?” to “what does God want?” I have sought God’s will when [...]

I will admit it, I love bridal shows. Not the reality type shows like “Bridezilla,” which I watched once and had to turn off after a few minutes in shame for the lady in front of the camera, but the ones that show more of the work behind the scenes of the “fuss and feathers.” [...]

From Candice Watters over at Boundless: My Mom used to encourage me with Matthew 6:33 when I’d call (at least once a week) to complain about still being single. She always took me back to that verse: “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as [...]

“A woman must have a thorough knowledge of music, singing, drawing, dancing, and the modern languages, to deserve the word; and besides all this, she must possess a certain something in her air and manner of walking, the tone of her voice, her address and expressions, or the word will be but half deserved.” ~Caroline [...]

On Babble.com, one author offered a surprisingly honest, heartfelt examination of the choices she made to delay motherhood. She points out the numerous personal and social consequences of delaying marriage and childbearing. Certainly, God’s timing is perfect in all things. However, it’s sobering to consider just how much we’ve sacrificed to conform to our modern [...]

Over the years I’ve gotten used to my ideas of traditional womanhood and godly femininity being called “too conservative,” but, even so, I’ve sometimes wondered if friends and family were right: I just needed to loosen up. After all, going to extremes can be dangerous, and being too conservative is no better than going to [...]

So, early yesterday morning, while most of the neighborhood was still abed, the boy next door headed out to work. He was sleepy and nervous about his new job and not used to the blind spot in his just acquired Blazer and… well… this was the result. The front quarter of the aforementioned Blazer looks [...]

From Jess at Making Home (thanks, Kelly, for the recommendation!) If prompted to think of “the Proverbs Woman”, anyone who has read a handful of books, skimmed a few blogs, or heard a sermon or two aimed at Christian women will automatically call to mind the Proverbs 31 woman. Land investor, wise guru, accomplished seamstress, [...]

I had an interesting conversation with someone. During this conversation, I was told that it seems like I had it all together. My life seems like it’s perfect. This person wasn’t being mean, but I had to chuckle a bit. I don’t have it all together. The perfect life happens sometimes when I’m asleep at [...]
