by Tiffany S. from Virtuous Daughters, March 2008~Volume 7, Number 12 Peer pressure has a powerful influence on young people especially. Although it can be positive, the phrase usually gives a negative connotation. Because this is a prevalent force, we must learn how to defend our faith and convictions without compromising, even in “little” things.
In a way, peer pressure has been a common thing for many years. Trends in clothing, accessories, and attitudes are a classic example. Laura Ingalls Wilder implied in her book, Little Town on the Prairie, that she buckled under peer pressure. She wore the clothing in style (because it was in style), despite the fact that it did not match her personal tastes. by Cindy from Virtuous Daughters, October 2003~Volume 3, Number 7 Girls, have you ever had a really hard day and nothing has gone right? You got up late, had to rush through breakfast to get started on school work, then you’ve got piano practice and chores to do before helping mom with dinner, and the list goes on and on? You can say—no shout—with Elijah, “I’ve had enough, Lord!” (1 Kings 19:4)
by Brittany S. from Virtuous Daughters, August/September 2019~Volume 19, Number 3 Michael Faraday was a great scientist who dedicated his life to exploring the mystery of electricity. Among his accomplishments was the invention of the first electric motor. Yet Faraday was also devoted to unveiling the mysteries of God's Word, which he read and memorized every morning and evening and preached on Sundays.
by Sarah from Virtuous Daughters, December 2013~Volume 13, Number 9 “Thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.” {Isaiah 30:21}
Dear Sisters, Have you ever had your hearing tested? Do you ever wonder if you need to have it tested—like when you keep forgetting what your mom told you to do this morning—or didn’t even hear her tell you to do it? We all have a problem at times with our listening skills, but I think for most of us it is not because we cannot physically hear, but because we do not turn our minds “on” when our parents are speaking to us. |
