Missions Night Idea

1/6/2025

 
by Candace & Christianne
from Virtuous Daughters, August 2007~Volume 7, Number 5

Do you have a heart for missions? Have you ever wondered how to practically prepare to maybe one day go into the missions field?
  
​One idea that our family has implemented to learn about the nations, pray for laborers to enter His harvest field, and to get a heart for missions is to have a monthly missions night.

Faithful in the Small Things

12/30/2024

 
by Amanda
from Virtuous Daughters, May 2015~Volume 15, Number 2

What do you think are the most desired qualities in a wife and mother? That she can cook a mouth-watering roast? Or bake up scrumptious scones? Or maybe keep the home neat as a pin? Maybe running a household of ten smoothly? Or maybe being able to knit a cardigan, teach seven homeschoolers, and feed the baby all at the same time?! All these skills are wonderful and would be greatly appreciated by a husband :), but the most important thing as we prepare to be a godly wife and mother is…

our relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.

Is Our Life Really Ours?

10/7/2024

 
by Sarah
from Virtuous Daughters, October 2014~Volume 14, Number 7

“Stop!! There's a car coming!” I cried out impulsively, as we started to accelerate after a stop sign at a highway intersection. A car, fast approaching at highway speeds, was less than 120 feet away and headed straight toward our vehicle. In that millisecond, I knew there was scarcely time for our vehicle to stop before we were completely in the lane of the incoming car, and a t-bone collision was inevitable.
  
As I sensed the oncoming wreck, I knew—without a shadow of a doubt—this would be it. We have had close calls in our travels before, from which God had always so mercifully delivered us—but this time, I felt so keenly it was too close to be a “close call”—it would be “the call” for me to go Home.

Prepare

8/12/2024

 
by Christianne
from Virtuous Daughters, April 2008~Volume 8, Number 1

People prepare for many things: they prepare for college, retirement, events, vacation, foreign travel, etc. If they are traveling, they will research the place they are traveling to, the culture, the food, the language, and the people. Since people go to such lengths to prepare for these short-term pursuits, young ladies should be going to great lengths to prepare for something that will last longer—marriage.

The Mindset of a Heart Truly Waiting for the Lord

7/1/2024

 
by Kristen
from Virtuous Daughters, September 2015~Volume 15, Number 6
“Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD!”  ~Psalm 27:14
 
Singleness can be such a lonely, discontented period for many young women.  However, it doesn’t have to be that way! An attitude of discontentment is an inward problem of the heart.  Instead of looking outward for things that will change our circumstances, we must look inward and change the condition of our hearts.  Our Heavenly Father wants us to rejoice always, in all circumstances, and through all trials that get thrown our way.  We don’t have the “right” to pick and choose, we must rejoice in all things in order to follow in the footsteps of our Savior.  Joy and contentment are choices, not emotions, which is why the Apostle Paul wrote, “I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation.”

Thoughts on Singleness

6/24/2024

 
by Brianna
from Virtuous Daughters, November 2015~Volume 15, Number 8

When I think back on my single years, I am thankful.
  
Thankful that God is sovereign.
  
​I am amazed at how every detail of my life, family, decisions, was purposefully preparing me for the future. I didn’t know it at the time. I wasn’t always feeling a whole lot of gratitude for my circumstances, but still—despite me—God had a plan.

Building a Home-Based Enterprise - Why, How, & What?

6/26/2023

 
by Kristin
from Virtuous Daughters, May 2010~Volume 10, Number 2

Entrepreneurialism. What is it exactly, besides a big word that many people can’t spell? To be an entrepreneur is defined as: “A person who has possession of a new enterprise, venture or idea, and assumes significant accountability for the inherent risks and the outcome.” Or, in simpler terms, having an idea for a way to make a profit and starting to do it. The business world is full of entrepreneurs, successful businesses, raising capital, and more, but what does entrepreneurialism have to do with young ladies?

Clean with Joy!

4/10/2023

 
by Melanie
from Virtuous Daughters, February 2007~Volume 6, Number 11

Dear Virtuous Daughters,

​Cleaning is one of those things I don’t like to do, but I feel very glad once I’ve done it. (Exercising is another!) What helps me the most is to make a list of tasks needed to be completed. Then I feel I can break it down into smaller jobs. I feel overwhelmed when there is too much to do. I have to see it as a smaller job, and then I can tackle it.
