Looking to God's Standards

Founders Note: Today on blog we have one of our monthly contributors Kiki. She is sharing her heart on this months theme Purity. Be sure to find out more about her here on our about page.

purity
Purity. It's a packed word, isn't it? I think purity can be a touchy subject with a lot of people--me included. As Christians, it's something that we strive for. It's something that we know is right and yet in this world, it's seen as a negative and something that's just not realistic. It can make living life a little bit harder, can't it? I don't write this to say discourage you, but it is often the truth in our lives.

The world tells us one thing and quite often, His Word tells us the other. And that's when I came across this pin. A little reminder that purity isn't about what others tell us to do. It's not about what's cool or what the celebrities are doing (or not doing, for the matter).

It's not about comparing ourselves to our friends or co-workers. It's about doing what's right for us, what God calls us, as His daughters and His followers, to do. So no, purity isn't about the world. It's about God. No one said that living this life would be easy, but it is possible. And that's all because we've got Jesus.

    What a great post, Kiki! I really think purity is different for every woman. I know some women who feel called to dress extremely modest and others who don't have to go to that extreme. But it's all about seeking God and aligning how we dress to how He has called us!

The Wetherills Say I Do | Guest Post

Founders Note: Today on the blog we have one of our August sponsors Madison of The Wetherills Say I Do . She is also one of my blogging friends, I have enjoyed working with her this month and am excited to continue in the future, she is a sweet girl with a big heart for others and Jesus! Today She is sharing her heart on this months theme: Beauty in the Brokenness. So be sure to check out her blog at the links below! If you've ever heard a group of people share their testimonies, a lot of them have a common thread: brokenness. A lot of now believers had to come to a very low point in their lives before they had their breaking moment of calling out to Jesus. Have you ever wondered why that is? Why is it that so many of us have to hit rock bottom before we'll realize our infinite need for a Savior? I don't know the answer to that question, but I do know that in my darkest moments, I've seen the Lord hand out grace and turn brokenness into beauty. We all tend t...

Finding Comfort in the "Waiting Room"

Founders Note: Today's post is written by our new friend Brooke. Her blog is called "Living as a Single Gal". (you can find the link below) We've just discovered Brooke's blog and we look forward to unwrapping more of the great wisdom she has to share. Without further ado, here is her post... Imagine, if you will, that you are in a waiting room. The room is crowded; people standing, people on chairs, people sitting on the floor; this room is totally packed full. And all of these people are waiting. Waiting for what you may ask? That’s simple; love. You are standing in a corner with some of your girlfriends having some laughs. Then one of them gets called out of the room. Then another. Then another; another one bites the dust. One by one all of your single girlfriends are leaving the waiting room and finding true love. Not only are your friends leaving you, but the rest room seems to empty out significantly. And then there’s you. --...
