Femininity is in tatters. The family has been split apart. Churches worldwide are weakening. What must be done to regain the purity of a life that seeks to honour Jesus? How can we re-capture the depth of His love for us? How can femininity and true beauty be regained?

It starts with the Gospel. It starts with an almighty, sovereign God who “did not spare His own Son,” a Saviour who “for the joy set before Him endured the Cross,” a Holy Spirit “who is in you,” empowering you to do His will.

The Gospel is Jesus Christ

He came, He gave
He is mighty to save
To all who will repent and believe

This blog is dedicated to re-capturing femininity; femininity as God designed it. Femininity in our culture is desperately lost. Scripture testifies of this in Proverbs 31. “An excellent wife, who can find? For her worth is far above jewels.” A wife of excellence is more rare that precious gems. In the 21st century, this is sadly apparent.

So let us raise the bar to a level of excellence that is rare and mysterious. Let us live our growing years with patience, our single years with dedication, our waiting years with service, our longing years with purity, our married years with faithfulness, and our entire lives under the blessings of our eternal covenant with the Prince of our souls, Jesus Christ.

May He have all the glory!

God Answers

"Ladies, don't tell me how busy you are because I know. I'm busy too. We all are, and I just think sometimes, all this activity—God would rather have a lot less of it and just more of us.

You know what? I find I have to be ruthless with my schedule. There are people I can't meet with. There are people I can't see. There are letters I can't write. There are places I can't go. There are speaking engagements I can't take.

Now, I'm not saying I never do any of those things, but I have to limit those things. Sometimes people don't understand why I'm not doing more things, why I'm not more social.

You know what? It's because I've decided that in this life I want to be getting ready to meet God, and that means I want to be listening to Him. That takes time.

You've got to make time. It's not just going to happen in your schedule. You've got to carve out the time. Set it apart. Set it aside.

Go to your watchpost. Go to your tower. Look out to see what God will say to you, and in His way, and in God's time, He will answer you."
