Hello to all the young ladies who will run across this blog!
My wish is that you will see your value in the eyes of God and from a different perspective than that of the world.
The world may consider a young lady accomplished who is highly educated, musically talented or can speak multiple languages, and while there is absolutely nothing wrong with these things, it will not be your highest calling during your life.
I know if you are young, you're not really thinking about the days of marriage and motherhood, and many a young woman reaches this time in their life with absolutely no skills to do it well. Much time is spent preparing a young woman to make money and be a careerwoman, but little to no time spent on teaching her skills in making a home or caring for those in it.
It is so very important that you become a "talented girl" in the area of caring for the home, others and yourself. There will come a time when a clean and orderly home will be important to the well being of everyone under your domain. You will need skills in the simple tasks of everyday life: how to clean a floor, vacuum, launder clothes, plan a meal and cook it. Now, early in your life, would be a great time to learn these skills and it would be a great help to your parents.
If you happen to live in a home where it is disorderly and chaotic, you could bring much needed calm and peace to the atmosphere by offering help in cooking and cleaning. There are many books and videos on YouTube on how to clean various rooms, etc. They are actually fun to watch, and I have learned a lot watching them.
You will also need to learn how to care for others, parents, children, and pets. Everything that lives in the same home with you will need someone to care for them. We must do this well! It is fun to nurture your home as you peacefully go along cleaning and meditating on the goodness of God, being thankful for the roof over your head and the many blessings you have been given.
Even if your home life is not currently as you would like it to be due to some strife in your household (parents or siblings that fight, disarray or other dysfunction), you can make the atmosphere better by providing a cheerful outlook and attitude for others to see. You may never know how you impact others with a cheerful nature, but many years down the road, others may remember you as a blessing and a light to the world.
This crazy world we live in needs young girls and women who want to be different, who long for the old paths. Paths that are tried and true and have brought happiness and joy to those who have chosen them. Let Jesus guide you on the path of true joy, and don't let this world tear you down, thought it may try.
Psalm 2:12 says: "Blessed are all who take refuge in Him."
Him refers to Jesus. We all want to be blessed. It means to a favor or gift from God. God's favor on you!
