I went back and read it and it was just plain awful.....<br />
So here's a better way to say adios.<br />
<br />
I have about 4 or five blogs I'm working with (possibly 6)<br />
Two are blogs I run with other people, and 3 are mine. One is our family blog, and two are both business and school related. (So I don't have and obligation to post as often).<br />
Anyway I recently moved (Over the weekend infact) and it is just to much to try and manage all my cyber nooks. đ<br />
And more recently I've really been feeling a conviction that blogging specifically for girls (on my own) is what I am called to do.<br />
So to make a long story short. I'm no longer going to post here. I will be leaving all the links and old posts up for your (hopeful.......) enjoyment.<br />
Lord Bless in your Journey to Sacred Womanhood.<br />

I wanted to write this in the wake of the governor of my state calling a special session this summer to pass tighter regulations on abortion.<br />
<br />
Pro-life, yes that's good, shut down abortion clinics and shut down PPH, okay you got me there.<br />
<br />
But wait what about these pregnant women, they do need help even if they don't get abortions! They can just go get back street (awful, awful) abortions that are far more dangerous, or other horrible things. These women may not receive proper pre-natal care, childbirth care, and postpartum care.<br />
I was a volunteer at a christian crisis pregnancy center for about 9 months sept. - april and it opened my eyes to a whole new level of the meaning PRO-LIFE<br />
Y'all we can't just lobby for abortion clinics to be shut down and when they are just walk saying mission accomplished! We still have to think about the poor women who really have no way of raising a child! We have to support them, help them and show Christ's love to them. It isn't enough to just end abortion! We want abortion to end because we believe that everyone is fearfully and wonderfully made right, or that murder is wrong ... right?<br />
Didn't Jesus say that what ever we do to the least of these we have done to Him?<br />
<br />
We need to care for these lost, hurting, women. Some of these women didn't have a voice on how they got pregnant. We need to help those who would seek abortions, with out shaming them. Scare tactics <u><i><b>don't work. </b></i></u> <br />
<br />
My brain is a little scattered so if this post is scattered please confuse me, I'm in a Rouge One star wars fog. (Officially my favorites star wars movie) đđđ<br />

<br />
<br />
With this heat, and our (sad) decline of modest tops mama and I decided to invest in some modest crops.<br />
HalfTees!<br />
<br />
https://www.halftee.com/<br />
<br />
I got mine today and I am loving it!<br />
<br />
(I bought the tank, and basic half tee, I think the tank one is on sale.)<br />
<br />
So I bought the tank one for tops that have sleeves and need a better neck line, and the basic for tops that don't have sleeves. (and need a better neckline) They are reversable and sooooo soft.<br />
<br />
Well I better fly got do "stuff" :P<br />

The title sounded like a prolife title. I clicked on the title Abby Johnson. I recognized it immediately several years ago I read an article about her In WORLD magazine. I read the book description and cautiously began to look it up. Abortion is not something we generally can read without being uncomfortable, truly I was a bit afraid, what morbid description was I going to find in this book. I decided to see if our library had it. It did. So still undecided on whether I would actually read it I entered the later that day when we went to the library and I picked up my hold and headed upstairs to find this book. When we got home I started reading it. I didnât stop except to eat dinner, order a copy for myself, and get ready for bed. I stayed up till midnight folks! I finished reading it early this morning. Godâs grace is so powerful , this story is amazing. You really must read it!</span></div>

mid-teens, single woman I have come to realize how much power we
have in the way we present our selves/ dress. To me covering is
another form of modesty. (I also say this because in books I have
listened to, movies I have watched I have seen a repeating pattern,
men are drawn to our hair. Yes it sounds funny but I believe it is
true.)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

prefer my face to be covered. I remember once I went to some ones
house and had done up my hair, then when we went down for supper and
the prayer was prayed I felt out of sorts even embarrassed not
having my face covered during the pray. Since then Iâve made sure
to have my hair mostly down when a prayer is possible. (Sorry that
was long winded. :D)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">That I am re-posting here with her permission. Enjoy here extremely accurate words of wisdom. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have added a few personal notes . They are in red type and italics </span></span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">I love asking questions.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Last
year I asked dozens of girls ages 12-21 what their favorite movie genre
was. Out of the dozens of different genres to choose from, 95% of them
said Romance. This year my question was most popular book genre. The
results were the same. Nearly every single girl I asked, giggled and
said, "Romance." Research confirmed that there are more love songs,
magazines, books, plays, TV shows, and movies than any other theme
recorded in history. About $1.08 billion is spent on romance novels per
year, $40million is spent on the movies. That is a ton of money being
spent on paying the people who wrote those books and screenplays, which
encourages others to also take up the profession.</span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">While
many of you may see it as harmless to read romance novels and watch
romance movies, the things that happen afterwards aren't. These books
and movies can and will have a harmful effect on you, your mind, and
your heart. I have read a total of four romance novels in my entire
seventeen years and I can probably tell you the ending of every single
love story out there despite this. You see, there's almost always this
beautiful young girl who's in a relationship with this guy. She thinks
she loves him, everyone else says they're so good for each other. A new
guy moves into the area though, he's rough looking and outspoken.
Naturally, this beautiful girl and rough guy get off to a bad start. She
hates him and they always fight, but in the end she realizes that he's
the one for her. She breaks the first boyfriend's heart and marries her
real love, the end. Really ladies, after reading your first two romance
novels, you catch on that it's never the first guy. True love is always
found in the second guy who adds excitement and adventure to the girl's
life.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white;">In
the four romance novels I read, I learned things. I learned a lot
actually, so much that I'm going to share what I know with you my
readers. And the reason I'm sharing this with you isn't to make you feel
bad or bring you down, it's to simply shed some light on what romance
novels are teaching society these days, what they are teaching you, and
what they have taught me. So here are the top ten things romance novels
have taught me:</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<div style="font-family: chalkduster; font-size: 24px;">
ââTop 10ââ</div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>(1) They're Unbelievably Unrealistic:</b></span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Let's
be honest ladies, romance novels are extremely far fetched. Life just
doesn't work that way. Men aren't that perfect, women aren't that
perfect, relationships aren't that perfect, and life itself isn't that
perfect....or if you prefer, not that dramatic. You know, there's this
one book that I read about this cowboy fella that lived in Texas. His
love was being held at gunpoint and was managing to remain calm in spite
of this. Just when the bad guy shot the gun, our cowboy flung himself
across the town and took the bullet for his beloved (of course, he
didn't die and they got married and lived "la de da" forever more).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Reality: </b>A
bullet travels at lightening speed. There is absolutely no way this
cowboy would've been able to take that bullet for his beloved. In real
life, he would've heard the gun and <u>might've </u>ran to take the
bullet (we'll allow his hat to fly off and his bandana to untie and blow
away to dance in the wind). However, he's not fast enough and his
beloved is shot while he is running to her. The bad guy, being a bad
guy, would then shoot our cowboy and take over the town. The end. Of
course, that makes for a crappy ending, so the author of this book
decided to make the cowboy a superhuman. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">That's
only one of over a million books with unbelievable storylines. I'm sure
that you can probably name a few (if not several) things in your
romance novel that are far fetched, exaggerated, if not entirely
impossible. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></span>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>(2) They Stir Our Minds:</b></span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">I
have to say that when I was reading the romance novels, I struggled
with the thoughts that entered my mind. When I would get to the detailed
account of a kiss or a stimulating description of a guy, my mind would
be stirred. Of course, some romance novels are more detailed than
others, but they all stir the mind. When you read such things, what do
you see? What do you think? The Bible says, "so my brethren, whatever is
true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever
is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or
praiseworthy, think about such things." Do romance novels cause you to
think of such things? Are you able to keep your thoughts pure when you
read them?</span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Romance
novels, to me, are a type of pornography. All of them. They contain
detailed accounts of things that I would be embarrassed to read out
loud. They have descriptions of the way a man looks or is built, how his
body is pleasing to the eye and how handsome he his. The same goes for
women. Reading this, the writers do an excellent job of putting images
in our minds. Such a good job that we might as well be viewing it on the
internet. When girls read a romance novel, they tend to want more and
more until that's all they read. One girl admitted that all she read one
year was romance novels, that's all she read. It filled her mind with
all the wrong things and it stirred her heart. You probably think that
romance novels don't have that effect on you, you can keep your thoughts
in line and your heart in check. But romance novels do stir the mind
whether you're aware of it or not, they do cause us to focus on the
wrong things in relationships, and they do cause us to fantasize about
the opposite sex in an ungodly way. The Bible says that if our hand
causes us to sin, then cut it off , and if our eyes cause us to sin then
gouge them out. If romance novels stir our minds in a sinful way, take
the novels and throw them away.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: red;"><i>Some may think that it is a bit extreme to call romance novels pornography but I wholeheartedly agree hear. Romance novels has done so much mental damage, I wish I could re-do my book selections when I was 13 -14</i></span> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><b>(3) They're The Junk Food in Our Lives:</b></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Junk
food tastes pretty good, doesn't it? Chips are pretty addicting. I
mean, you think you've only eaten a few when really you've eaten half
the bag. Then there are those cheese flavored crackers with that fake
peanut butter spread. Those are really good too, you eat those without
really thinking about it. My favorite "dessert" when growing up were
those little pudding containers with the white swirls in the chocolate.
One day, near Easter when I was about seven, my best friend and I were
in a room with other kids being babysat. All our parents were in a
meeting that night that lasted a couple of hours. It was supper time and
the ladies babysitting us, got out every type of junk food imaginable.
We ate chips, we ate those fake peanut butter cheese crackers, and drank
that sugary fruit punch and soda. Then they brought out the chocolate
eggs, the pudding containers, and peeps. Peeps are chicken shaped
marshmallows covered in sugar, they are literally sweeter than sugar
itself. Well, they gave each child five peeps, a pudding container, and a
couple chocolate eggs (these ladies weren't the brightest at
childcare). Well, I ate my chocolate eggs and pudding, then tried a
peep. I gagged, swallowed it down and gave my best friend the other four
before running to throw my plate away. My brilliant friend traded her
pudding and chocolate eggs for another girl's peeps because they were
her favorite. Every child at our table, after eating one of their peeps,
gave the rest to my friend. She ate as many as she could before we were
all ready to get up and play. You probably guessed, but my friend threw
up five minutes later and had to go to her Mom because she was so sick.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Romance
novels are like peeps. They taste good at the time, they're sweet, and
you want a lot because they're your favorite. But when you eat too many,
you get sick. Your brain gets sick. You may not realize how bad they
are for you, they make you feel good. But you will get sick if that's
all you read. Well, what about christian romance novels? You know, I've
talked to a lot of girls that think <u>Christian</u> romance novels are a
completely different thing. That they're harmless and since they're all
Christians, that it's alright. I think they're all the same thing
though. Some books, like peeps, have more sugar in them than others, but
they will all eventually make you sick.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><b>(4) They Give Us The Wrong Idea about Love:</b></span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Love
in romance novels are entirely centered around sexuality and what the
character gets. They give girl's the idea that love is giving one's body
away. After a steamy love scene in one of these books; when the guy
gets what he wants and says, "I love you," the readers believe, "hey,
that's what love looks like." Love is kisses, love is touch, love is
sweet words, love is having sex, etc. More and more girls are getting
pregnant because they're giving their bodies away in order to get this
thing called love. Christian romance novels are the same. Although the
love scenes are "toned down," they're still conveying that love is
centered around the flesh. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: red;"><i>Even some of the Christian novels are extremely sensual </i></span> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">That's not love.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Love
is when your Dad takes out the trash for your Mom. Love is when your
Mom mows the grass for your Dad. Love is when your Dad gets up early and
goes to work so he can provide for his family. Love is when your Mom
sews up the holes in your Dad's shirts and socks. Love is when your Dad
fixes things around the house even when he's tired. Love is when your
Mom does your Dad's laundry. Love is when someone puts your needs over
theirs. Love is patient. Love is kind. Love does not boast. Love is not
self seeking. Love does not envy. Love is not proud. Love does not
dishonor others. It always protects, always trusts, always perseveres,
and always hopes. Love is about others, what you can give, not what you
can get.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><b>(5) They Give Us The Wrong Idea About Men:</b></span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Guys
are amazing. They are great at fixing things, they're good at
protecting and defending what's theirs, they're handy when it comes to
moving heavy things, they make wonderful taste testers, and they are
incredible leaders and teachers. Now, seeing as most romance novels are
written by women, I can't help but feel that men are depicted wrongly
within the pages. It's terrible ladies, I know, but guys in reality and
guys in books are completely different. Nothing alike. So many girls
upon entering a relationship find themselves sorely disappointed. They
create this image of what a guy is suppose to be like based on what
they've read in the latest Jannette Oke novel. They have these
expectations, expectations that only someone who is absolutely perfect
can meet. When they get a boyfriend and realize that he's not getting
her flowers everyday, he's not complementing her hair or looks all the
time, he's not buying her chocolate, he's not writing her sweet notes or
sending her romantic text messages, and he's not acting like the dreamy
fellas in their books, they feel disappointed. They feel disappointed
and get angry at their boyfriend for not meeting their expectations.
Well, these writers are creating perfect men. They are setting the bar
much too high for our guys to meet. Do you notice how ridiculously high
this bar is? Really ladies? Do you want to bar set that high for
yourself? If you compare every single guy to what you read, you are
going to remain single for the rest of your days. Men are not perfect.
And I think they get tired and frustrated when girls expect them to do
all this and remember all that like the superguys in books. They're only
human, and humans are not perfect.</span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Also,
girls are starting to take every little thing that guys do for them; as
a sign that they're romantically interested. These books have put this
idea in young girls heads that if a guy looks at her more than once, he
likes her. If a guy opens the door for her, he must like her. If a guy
sits next to her, he obviously likes her. If a guy hugs her or offers to
carry a heavy box for her, then of course he must like her. This
generation of girls are complaining that there aren't gentlemen anymore.
Well, it's they're own fault. If they didn't automatically think a guy
was interested because he offered to do something for a girl, guys
wouldn't be afraid to be gentlemen lest it be taken the wrong way. We
have to stop comparing our guys to perfect book characters. Not only
will we be miserable, but we will make our guys miserable. They can't
meet your romance novel expectations and won't ever be able to. If we
quit feeding our minds on what the perfect guy is like and start
focusing on actual reality, things will turn out better. And you know,
the guys who are actually in our day to day lives will be more appealing
because they're real.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><b><br /><span style="background-color: white;">(6) They Give Us The Wrong Idea About Women:</span></b><br /><span style="background-color: white;">I
don't want to sound feministic, but romance novels are degrading women.
They make it sound like the girls who aren't married have absolutely no
life. They're worth nothing if they have no husband, don't cook, don't
have children, and live alone. That's not true. We don't need a man to
define our worth. We don't need children to define our worth. We don't
need a big house, lots of money, or good looks to define our worth. Us
ladies are worth so much, so much. God thinks we are priceless and don't
let anyone tell you anything different. These books caused me to feel
that the only thing I could possibly do in life was to get married, also
that I couldn't do anything without a man. But yes, I can. I can get a
job, I can fix things (might take a little longer), I can do what I
love, and I can lead a perfectly normal and happy life, all without
having a man and being married. And heck, of course I want to get
married someday, it's one of my biggest dreams. But I know and
understand that getting married won't complete my life, that's not the
point of my life, that's not the reason we should live life. Books like
these categorize women as just objects that bring pleasure to men. Girls
easily begin to believe that the only thing that they're worth is to
bring sexual pleasure to men. That's also a lie. God created women to be
man's help, to be loved by her husband as Christ loves the church, and
to be living proof that God's creations are beautiful.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><b>(7) They relay a False Sense of Happiness:</b></span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">In
romance novels we read about these characters that portray that
marriage changes everything, gives them a reason to live, and fills them
with happiness for the rest of their days. Sure, they have little
squabbles and don't really have a plan for life, but hey, they're living
off love. Sorry ladies, this is one of the biggest lies ever. Most
girls think that as soon as they find Mr. Right, everything will change.
Life will be wonderful, their problems will go away, and they will live
happily ever after. </span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Wrong.</span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">The
problems you have, the feelings you have, the life that you live, they
will follow you into your marriage. They will stay with you too, believe
me. Life isn't going to change just because you get married. Simple as
that. Watching married couples or friends that are dating, it's easy to
think that "hey, life is probably perfect when you're in a
relationship." </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Wrong again.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Life
does not change in the way you think when you get married. If you're
not happy with your life before you're married, then you'll be unhappy
with your life when you are. We have to learn to be content and happy
with our lives the way they are before we're ready for marriage or a
relationship of any kind. If we go into a relationship seeking
happiness, then we we are going to be so disappointed. Because you know,
in this life nothing can make you truly happy. You can't make you
happy, what you do can't make you happy, friends can't make you happy,
what they do can't make you happy, things can't make you happy, men
can't make you happy, what they do, what they buy, and what they give
you can't make you happy. Sure, it'll make you happy for a little bit,
but not forever. The only thing, rather the only person, that can make
you happy, is Jesus Christ. The happiness you will receive when you let
Him fill you and the love you will feel when you let Him inside your
heart, is like nothing you have ever experienced or ever will. It's
amazing, readers. No man will ever be able to love you the way Jesus
does, no man will be able to give a gift as great as the gift Jesus gave
us, and no man will ever be able to make you as happy as being in God's
wonderful plan does. When you put God first and fill yourself with Him,
then you will be able to love your future husband more than any other
on earth. </span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><b>(8) They Cause Discontentment:</b></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Life
is nothing like what you read in the books. Life is dull when you come
up for air, right? It's so easy to become discontent with your family,
your house, and the way you live. After reading these books, we start to
think that if we only had a guy then we would have it all. Well ladies,
when you finally get your guy, that's not going to be enough. You're
going to want more. You're going to want what you can't have, which is
usually the way things work. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Why is this?</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">It's
because we're selfish. Simple as that. We think the world is centered
around us. We believe that we're entitled to things, we need things, we
want things. When we fill our minds with these type of books, we're
welcoming discontentment into our hearts. We become blind to the
wonderful things in our life and we doubt that God's wonderful plan
isn't as wonderful as it's made out to be. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>(9) They Build Up False Dreams:</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The
dreams that romance novels build are just like castles of sand. They're
not sturdy and they can be swept away by the ocean's waves in a matter
of seconds. Books like these tend to give us expectations that no human
on this earth can come close to meeting. It's typical for girls to
dream, dreaming is one of the best things ever. I use to dream about
getting married, having thirteen children, living in a blue house, and
having my room be an attic with a fireplace. All girls dream like this
at some point in time. This kind of dreaming is okay, it's harmless, and
I believe that it's good for you. However, romance novels change a
girl's harmless dreams and turn them into ones that aren't. This
generation of girls are now dreaming of having guys notice her in sexual
ways, of having a guy kiss her, having a guy touch her, special dates,
and what happens on those dates. These dreams are dangerous. They will
not only hurt you, but the person you will one day marry. After you read
a romance novel, you're going to imagine how everything is going to
play out when you enter into a relationship. You're going to be building
up castles of sand. When that day comes and you meet Mr. Guy and he
isn't acting like the guy in your dreams, you're going to be unhappy.
Also, he's going to be unhappy because he can't meet your expectations
and become like the guy in your dreams. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My
sister mentioned the other day that people who write romance novels are
the ones that file for divorces the most. You see, they write their
story, build up their dream characters, and unknowingly set up
expectations. When they notice that their spouse is nothing like their
book character, they get upset, they fight, and in the end file for a
divorce.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Castles of sand.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Swept away,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white;"><b>(10) They Look Nice in Trash Cans:</b></span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">After
reaching the end of my fourth romance novel, I decided something. It
hadn't been worth my time, it hadn't taught me true things, and that all
books like this would look extremely nice in trash cans. Really, if it
hadn't been a library book, I probably would've thrown it in the trash
can.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">And
you know, this is just my opinion about these type of books. You're not
sinning if you read them. The way I see it is, romance novels are fire.
Everybody decides for themselves how much they can play with it while
still staying safe. I decided that playing with the fire was too
dangerous, I don't want to get burned. </span><span style="background-color: white;">If
you can play with it without getting hurt, lucky you. I guess ya'll are
braver than I am. So basically, if you decide to keep reading these
books, keep in mind what you've read in this post today. One of the
great things about God is that He gives us the capacity for choices. And
you know why God gave us that? It's because even though our free will,
our choices, make evil possible, it's the only thing that makes God's
love, forgiveness, and goodness, worth having.</span></span></span><br />

A CQL is a list of character qualities to look for in a future spouse ( as well as you! ) Why is it important? Well imagine you have a recipe and you go to the grocery store without knowing what you need for the recipe. That is like a girl (or guy) looking for a spouse without knowing what to look for. Make sense? But be for you go and make a list for a husband make one for your self ! You must prepare yourself sister!<br />
These lists I made I encourage you to make up your own!<br />
CQL for me :<br />
<ol>
<li>A heart for God </li>
<li>Humility and submission</li>
<li>Self control , gentleness, compassion , peace-maker</li>
<li>Heavenly Minded </li>
<li>Honesty and Integrity</li>
<li>Trustworthy ,and hardworking</li>
<li> Respect and Honor </li>
<li>Contentment and satisfaction in all situations</li>
<li>Faith and Righteousness</li>
<li>Discernment, caution ,and carefulness </li>
<li>Modesty</li>
<li>Selflessness and self sacrifice </li>
<li>Patience and willingness</li>
</ol>
to name a few<br />
<br />
CQL for spouse:(When I wrote down the list for a man I put the first few in importance to me order.)<br />
<ol>
<li>A heart for God </li>
<li>Humility</li>
<li>Leadership and Respect</li>
<li>Heavenly minded</li>
<li>Self control , gentleness, compassion , peace-maker</li>
<li>Honesty and Integrity </li>
<li>Trust worthy and hard working</li>
<li>Faith and Righteousness</li>
<li> Discernment, caution ,and carefulness </li>
<li>Selflessness and self sacrifice </li>
</ol>
<br />
Go explore the bible and make a list<br />

Modesty Is Good</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~ By Abigail Chipps </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Girls now days struggle daily with the urge to follow the latest fads
set by their peers and currant celebrities. This struggle is hard and is
very legitimate! I myself have struggled with it! <br />
I believe God's plan for his daughters is for them to stay pure and
clean to him and to the world, the fashions and fads now days leave
nothing left to the imagination: an over exposure of legs and cleavage! <br />
While this may be the latest and greatest among your friends, it is
very exposing and violating! Think about it, while you may want the hot
popular guy to look at you and whistle, he is not the only one looking
at you, young boys and older married men are seeing all this too!<br />
And also think about keeping your body for your soul mate! And not
just any guy that happens to look your way! Think about how special and
pure that is to keep your body hidden and clean and unseen until
marriage! That thought alone keeps me happy being modest!! It puts joy
in my heart!!<br />
All of you girls have your family values, and your own personal
beliefs and I do not mean in any way to seem like I am forcing my
opinions down your throat!!<br />
All I can say is that I advise you to obey the families values and
keep following your parents instructions!! They might seem dumb now! But
when you have made a few mistakes as I have you will realize that
boundaries and limits are what ground us and keep us safe! <br />

One of the fun was to keep home in your fathers house and prepare for the future is to gather recipes like this <a href="http://nourishedkitchen.com/homemade-seasoning-salt/">one</a>
! I have begun cooking the meals for breakfast and dinner Thursday
morning through Sunday night . I rather enjoy it home keeping is not
boring it is a ton of fun and very rewarding whether people give you
reward or the reward of doing a job well done Keep on pressing for
Christ sisters.<br />

Homemade Dishwasher soap! :<br />

I love this recipe because it is so simple and a much heathly alternative<br />

Question would you eat your dish soap? If not do you want that residue
on the dishes you eat off? Not me ! What I love is that all the
ingredients in this soap recipe are edible! ( yes borax is edible )<br />

1cup Borax<br />
1cup Baking soda<br />
1/2 cup citric acid food grade<br />
Mix well store in a glass jar !<br />

Beautifying our homes<br />
<br />
What young lady or woman isn't a perfectionist when is comes to cleaning the home .<br />
Throwing back the curtains making 2 bouquets for each and every room
adding a little bit of potpourri to a pretty bowl opening every window
letting the spring and summer air in as you hustle around your clean
house with fresh herbs and vegetables from your garden , lifting the
canner off the stove baking some cookies before sitting down to knitting
, sewing , or spinning?<br />
I can say if I had my way that's what the house would look like. Fresh
and ready for who ever next enters the home. Well our "dream" home may
not be reality but what if in our free time we straightened the house
like we were preparing for company? Just set aside our " hobbies" and
straighten things up a bit pick up trash that managed to make it every
where but the trash can , clean the muddy smudges off the window your
brother managed to make , pick some flowers, crush some sweet smelling
herbs and wipe the counter off were you little sister spilled the milk,
and make your home a brighter happier place!<br />
<br />
<br />
P.s. some wonderful herbs for "crushing" are Lavender, mint all kinds (
chocolate, apple, spear , pepper), lemon balm , sage I'm sure there are
many more but these are the ones that come to mind, you could even try
blending some of your herbs! If you have any herbs you would like to be
seen on this post just shoot me a comment!<br />

after I wrote about beautifying our homes and serving our families my
brother Jesse (11) and John (8) gave me a very pleasant surprise! They
cleaned up all the dinner dishes! I was exhausted after doing a mad dash
to clean up the house and cook dinner before my mom got up for work!
Thank you two! oxo </span></i><br />
