Introducing – Feminine Beauty
Femininity – it’s a beautiful art. True femininity is like a rare exotic flower, surprising and beautiful to the eye.
God created women to be feminine and that’s a fact. True beauty is feminine beauty. God designed men to be attracted to feminine woman (in most cases).
Femininity is something we have almost lost today among women. Yet femininity only increases it’s beauty like a fragrant rose among rough thorns.
The picture of an elegant feminine bride on her day comes to my mind to illustrate what I want to say. What makes her so very, very beautiful to see? It is her distinct feminine beauty. It is also his distinct masculinity together a beautiful picture, God’s plan.
This is just a beginning of what I want to share on the topic of femininity. Ladies we need to hear today what it looks like for us to be truly feminine and proud of who God created and designed us to be. He created us to be beautiful women. And the only way to have this beauty is to do things His perfect way…

The beautiful summer days have been flying by! We have been so busy this whole summer visiting here and there and working here at the Inn. It’s been a great summer. I hate to think of it coming to a close, but with the close of summer come the beginnings of autumn and all the beauty of the short season. There are so many things to look forward to as I think about the quilting classes I would love to take, the bible study for young woman I need to start and also planning for the next “Gathering”.
God is so good. We went to the beach yesterday and enjoyed time as a family. There’s nothing like just spending time with your very own family in simple yet beautiful places. We had a good day. I love spending time with Kyle and Elizabeth such a good couple.
This next week is the CRIM Race. It will be absolutely crazy at the Front Desk. I’m glad Mom is planning on helping me with a lot of it. It’s almost more than I can handle. I do a lot of the work of getting things ready and checking everyone in. The Inn is almost fully booked.
Then we are singing at my Uncle’s church Sunday then next Sunday we will be going to Kentucky again! We are going for Mom’s family reunion and Kyle and Elizabeth are coming too. Then we will be singing on the town square for the “Silver Mine” festival.
Life has been good and very busy. God is so good to us. His blessings flow daily, hourly to us. I often think of people who waken each morning without a living Hope. They live without Hope! As I was driving the car into town the other day I heard a song. This song pulled at my heart and I was trying to hold back the tears as I drove. I realized that He is the only one that can grab my heart like that can enrapture me in His amazing love and my heart wants to sing and cry all at the same time. Wow His love IS amazing! And I awaken with so much Hope and happiness in life…
This is the quilt I finished with the help of a dear lady here Mrs. Krause. I loved making it and now it is hanging above my bed. I would love to make more of them I really enjoyed making this one. It turned out so beautifully, even if I do day so. I was happy with it.
I am also working on curtians to match it and they are turning out really cute. I embroidered along the bottom of the hem small daisy flowers. They make my room look so much better. I also bought a cute light blue picture frame that goes so well with my colors and would love to put a family beach picture there.
Looking ahead to the years and memories they will share together as a perfect couple in love. God really does make “all things beautiful in His time”.
They are so beautiful together! Can’t wait to see there children. And yes I am ready for them to have one.
Kyle and Elizabeth are so happy together. It gives me hope that God really does KNOW us fully and who we need as a life partner, even more than we do. Kyle is such a good husband and Elizabeth is a wonderful wife and loves to keep home. God has blessed them.
My dear parent’s whom I love and couldn’t live without. I really love this picture it turned out beautifully. It’s almost been 26 years of marriage!
It was wonderful to dip my toes in the beautiful water of Lake Michigan. We had a great time as a family again.
We just got home from the Conference in Indianapolis. It was so good. I really, really enjoyed working in Commit for the first time. God had me there to teach me.
As I sat there and listened to Christiania (Reed) Maas speak, on videotape, about loving the Lord I realized I heard this before. One of the points was to “remember special spots that you have had with the Lord, places you’ve made decisions or commitments to Him”. She talked about them being special places you will never ever forget. I had already been thinking about this. The amazing thing was that 6 years ago I was in almost the very exact same spot in the same part of the same room as I was before listening to the same talk. I was thinking of how much I have grown in Him over the years but more convinced of my lack of love for my Dear Jesus. He knew I needed to hear it again.
There I knelt by my chair thanked Him for what He has done and asked again for Him to renew my love for Him. I asked Him to forgive me for the lack of love and fully surrendered my love to Him once again to be His forever. I remembered kneeling in the same spot six years ago and realized this place was my “special spot with my Lord”. I will always look at that place as my special place; there in that auditorium on the right side, a little farther up then in the middle is my “special spot” with the Lord where He has renewed, inspired and loved me.
He did some things in my life I will not soon forget. Mostly just pulling my heart back to His and assuring me to rest, where I am most happy. I love Him! And so much want to love Him more. I have been convicted and renewed and strengthened and inspired and challenged and loved.
I was also inspired to start a bible study with some younger girls this fall. I am excited because I know this is something God wants me to do. I am also going to be planning the Winter Gathering 2006! I am very excited about that as well.
I have come home wanting to cut things out of my life that have been taking me away from Him. I want to do the simple things in my Christian walk like pray! I want to read my Bible! I want to memorize scripture! And most of all I just want to love the Lord with all the pieces of my heart.
We had a great time. Here are some pictures …
Here we are in Indianapolis at the training center where we stayed. We had a great time.
