And you will be down the road what you are becoming now.” http://truewoman.com/?id=1718 2011-06-17T10:23:59-05:00 I admit it. The topic of woman’s appearance is trivial compared to the war on the other side of the world–but given the reality of our culture, it’s a battle that hits much closer to home. http://truewoman.com/?id=1717 2011-06-17T10:23:03-05:00 nce he told me, "It's like I'm going down a ladder into a dark hole with no way out. I feel like Job and ask God why." Yet the darkness that shadowed his last days could not erase the blessing he had been to residents, staff, and families for so long. http://truewoman.com/?id=1719 2011-06-17T10:22:04-05:00 The wedding that’s caught my attention this year isn’t the one most people were talking about early last month. I’m focused on one a little closer to home—my son’s. Since the time he was in the womb, we’ve prayed for the woman God had in mind for him and are absolutely delighted with His choice! http://truewoman.com/?id=1720 2011-06-17T10:21:00-05:00 As we’ve shared in the preparations and enjoyed giving pre-marital counsel, my mind keeps returning to the Ultimate Wedding I’m longing to attend. http://truewoman.com/?id=1721 2011-06-17T10:19:51-05:00 I’ve known something for a while now that has had me really scared, and it’s this: I’m terrified of sharing the Gospel with unbelievers. So terrified that I’ve started telling God “No, I won’t—I can’t—tell them about You.” http://truewoman.com/?id=1724 2011-06-17T10:17:44-05:00 Circumstances certainly have bearing on our reactions, but the liberating concept for me—one that my dad emphasized even more as I got into my teenage years—was, “You will not have to give account to God for what someone else does to you. You will only be held accountable for how you respond.”
