I'm so excited! It seems I will have to step things up a notch around here...LOL! Thank you so much for hosting such a wonderful giveaway Miss Jen! And Congratulations to Amy and Rachel as well. :)
I'm a young woman who is truly blessed... blessed to be a woman, blessed to be a daughter and blessed to be a child of God. I have a passion for theology and anything that relates to homemaking!
It is my desire to live a life depicted in
I Corinthians 10:31
"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."
"The fact that I am a woman does not make me a different kind of christian, But the fact that I am a christian does make me a different kind of woman." ~Elisabeth Elliot
"A gracious woman retaineth honor..." ~Proverbs 11:16
"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." ~Romans 5:8
"Read and you will be educated." ~Anonymous
"Reading a great work of literature can truly be likened to having a conversation with a great mind." ~Jennie Chancey
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” ~Dr. Seuss
"Home is the grandest of all institutions." ~Charles Haddon Spurgeon
O give us homes built firm upon the Saviour, Where Christ is Head, and Counselor and Guide; Where ev'ry child is taught His love and favor And gives his heart to Christ, the crucified: How sweet to know that tho' his footsteps waver His faithful Lord is walking by his side! -Barbra Hart
"Stay at home my heart and rest, homekeeping hearts are happiest." ~ Longfellow
"Six things are requisite to create a happy home. Integrity must be the architect, and tidiness the upholsterer. It must be warmed by affection, and lightened with cheerfulness, and industry must be the ventilator, renewing the atmosphere and bringing in fresh salubrity day by day; while over all, as a protecting and glory, nothing will suffice except the blessings of God." ~Rev. Hamilton 1878
"...But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."~Joshua 24:15
"Thank God, O women for the quietude of your home, and that you are queen in it. Men come at eventide to the home; but all day long you are there, beautifying it, sanctifying it, adorning it, blessing it. Better be there than wear a queen's coronet. Better be there than carry the purse of a princess. It may be a very humble home. There may be no carpet on the floor. There may be no pictures on the wall. There may be no silks in the wardrobe; but, by your faith in God, and your cheerful demeanor, you may garniture that place with more splendor than the upholsterer's hand ever kindled." ~ T. DeWitt Talmage
"...So train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled." ~Titus 2:4-5
"A community is not likely to be overthrown where woman fulfills her mission, for by the power of her noble heart, she will raise it from its ruins, and restore it again to prosperity and joy."--John Angell James, Female Piety
"...women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works." ~1 Timothy 2:9-10
"Unaffected modesty is the sweetest charm of female excellence, the richest gem in the diadem of her honor." ~Webster's 1828 Dictionary
"Proverbs tells us that a virtuous woman "works with her hands with delight" and "does not eat the bread of idleness." A godly woman is one who sees her life as mission of service. What others view as a burden, she views as a blessing and opportunity." ~Christine Russell
"The career of motherhood and homemaking is beyond value and needs no justification. It's importance is incalculable." - Katherine Short
"Christian contentment is that sweet, inward, quiet, gracious frame of spirit, which freely submits to and delights in God's wise and fatherly disposal in every condition."- Jeremiah Burroughs
"If we had no Winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; If we did not sometimes taste adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome." ~Anne Bradstreet
"Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer."- Psalm 19:14
"You have but one life to live and it will soon pass, and only what you do for Jesus will last." ~Unknown
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." -Proverbs 3:5-6
"How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear It soothes his sorrow, heals his wounds, And drives away his fears." -John Newton
“I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.”- Laura Ingalls Wilder
"Wait for the Lord; Be strong, and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord."-Psalm 21:14
"Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things."- Philippians 4:8
"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words." - D. Roberts
"If you please man and never please God, you have nothing; If you please God and man forsakes you, you have everything." -Dorothy Patterson
"The joy of the LORD is your strength."- Nehemiah 8:10
"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." -Ecclesiastes 3:1
“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, 'What! You too? I thought I was the only one”- C.S. Lewis
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." - Jeremiah 29:11
"Happiness quite unshared can scarcely be called happiness; it has no taste." - Charlotte Brontë
"This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." -Psalm 118:24
"Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore." -Psalm 16:11

Music is an agreeable harmony for the honor of God and the permissible delights of the soul. -J. S. Bach
“Why do women want to dress like men when they’re fortunate enough to be women? Why lose femininity, which is one of our greatest charms? We get more accomplished by being charming than we would be flaunting around in pants and smoking. I’m very fond of men. I think they are wonderful creatures. I love them dearly. But I don’t want to look like one. When women gave up their long skirts, they made a grave error…" -Tasha Tudor
