Marks of a Woman

Read this (can’t remember where) and thought I should make a note of it. To be praying for these things. ::sigh::
A real woman . . .
…is glad she’s a woman and rejoices in her femininity, expressing it through her attitude, appearance and bearing. (1 Timothy 2:9-10)
…does not compete for equality with men or chafe at [...]

Let Me Be Woman

It’s been a challenging season of learning what it means to be a godly woman. As I’ve been attempting (!!) to teach Titus 2 to my small group I’ve had to learn A LOT (being somewhat of a younger-older woman and not knowing how a lot of Titus 2 applies to the single),  think through [...]

Modesty of the heart…

There is a time and place to open up and share our sin struggles and personal concerns, and if we are careful to apply Peter’s words about the modesty of personal restraint, we will be wise not only about the time and the place, but also about the people we choose to share our hearts [...]

One Great Love

I could be wrong but I think romance, love and dating are topics I seldom think about on my blog…yet its been on my mind quite a bit these days/weeks BECAUSE its the topic of the upcoming College retreat.
However with my close friends its discussed from time to time… in terms of what love and [...]

Hello, College Life

While this blogpost title might be a bit misleading, I did not go back to school (though technically I go to A school everyday)…most people that I have caught up with lately know that I joined the college staff at LBC.
And I have loved every bit of it.
Forgive me for the cliche, but I have [...]

“If I stand before Him as a cup waiting to be filled with psychological satisfaction, I will never feel quite full. Why?
First, because my lusts are boundless; by their very nature, they can’t be filled.
Second, because Jesus does not intend to satisfy my selfish desires. Instead He intends to break the cup of psychological need  [...]

The List…what I want to be.

I had a brief heart-to-heart with Esther a few weeks ago (i have a feeling that anytime she talks with one of us younger ladies its a from the heart). First she had reminded me that who you are at home, is who you really are. After I shared with her how I am disciplined…in [...]

The Gospel.

“The gospel is Christ crucified.”
Consider what these few words mean: Jesus Christ willingly stepped out of heaven to be our sacrifice. He lived a perfect life—though fully man and tempted in every way, he did not sin.
He willingly walked the road to the hill called Calvary so that his blood could be shed on the [...]

Discipline

“This word disciplines suggests a conscious divestment of encumbrances and then a determined investment of all our energies. The disciplined godly woman rids herself of associations, habits, and attitudes that impede godliness. Then she invests her energy in the pursuit of Godliness…”
Legalism says “I will do this thing to gain merit with God,” While [...]

Waiting for Magic

At LBC we’ve just starting an Sunday evening sermon series on relationships entitled “DTR-2″. Tonight was the second session entitled “Waiting for Magic”.
Now I have to confess that for so many years I was very disillusioned about what dating relationships should be like and why they were going to be so exciting. I was informed [...]
