What’s the first thing you want a man to think of when he sees you? The way you dress tells a whole lot about the answer to that question. If we as Christian women dress to try to get guys attention then we will get that attention. They might be thinking really nice or flattering remarks about you. They might even tell you some. Yet are these thoughts the first that we want guys to think of when they see us. What about the nonbelievers who would be thinking all kinds of lustful thoughts about you? Do we really care so much about the attention from guys that we would give away our purity? Personally I don’t. If we are godly Christian girls then that is not what we should want guys to think of us. Would we not much rather men see Christ in us instead of being distracted with the way we are dressed. When a godly man looks at me I do not want his first thoughts of me to be lustful. Neither do I want his first thoughts of me to be flattery. I would much rather him see Jesus in me. I want hi...

Winter is not my favorite month. I’ve always liked summer better. I would much rather be sitting in the nice warm sun, than be freezing and always having to put on bundles of coats and jackets. I’ve never really enjoyed having to start putting on shoes again and snow makes big mud messes. But it is better to be thankful then to grumble or complain. So I have decided to make a list of thinks that I like about winter. I know that winter is not quite here, but it is definitely starting to get colder, so here are some reasons for liking winter. 1. No more spider webs to worry about walking into. 2. Walking through the woods without being tormented about getting ticks on me. 3. Stepping on the crunchy crisp leaves without having to watch out for snakes. 4. Climbing a tree without having to take off all the granddaddy-long-legs first. 5. Enjoying a cozy Tea Party with friends or sisters. 6. Sitting for a nice cup of hot Chocolate to warm my bones after coming in from the biting cold a...

( Note : before you read this and think that I am very prejudice, this was a school project and also North Carolina is the only state I have ever lived in.) North Carolina is the best state in the Union. Why in the world would I make such a radical statement as that? I’ll just delve right in and tell you my many reasons for believing this. Foremost is the beauty of NC. North Carolina is known for its clear blue skies. It also has impressive mountains and gorgeous waterfalls. NC’s outer banks have some of the most beautiful beaches in the U.S. The country side is one of rare and tranquil splendor with its beautiful rolling hills. Every season is vivid with color and life. Spring is full of new life as the flowers pop up, trees begin to bud, birds come out to sing, and squirrels chatter with excitement. Summer shines with brightness and cheer. Fall is flamboyant with color and winter, bare and cold, yet elegant when it snows. The temperatures here are just right. The summers ...

Here is a good bold message on modesty that I would encourage you to take the time to listen to. I hope you are blessed by it. http://illbehonest.com/Ladies-Does-How-You-Dress-Cause-Men-to-Lust-Albert-Martin God bless you!

The Day Begins The sun smiled upon the earth. The early dawn had given birth. Birds awoke with a song on there lips. Squirrels dug for their acorn chips. Owls doze from their midnight raid. The hen's eggs had earlier been laid. Rooster awoke and strutted about, Then cockle-doodle-dooed his morning out. All of creation has begun to stir. "It is time to get up, young sir." If you awake with a grumpy  face, God's grace can put a smile in its place. This beautiful day has now begun, And so has all the business and fun. Written by-Hannah September 3, 2011 "This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24 Have a happy day! Smile! Jesus loves you!
