Come away from old friendships which may tempt you back to the flesh pots of Egypt. Leave all those things. Come away to private communion.

O take care that you come away from the world and make your dedication perfect, comeplete, unreserved, sincer, and spotless." Charles H. Spuregon.

The more we SEEK Him the more we come to KNOW what His plan and purpose is for our life. The more we PURSUE Him, the more we gain HIS PERSPECTIVE on any problem we might be facing. The more we WORSHIP Him, the more we BECOME His }|{ Set-apart Princess }|{" -Leslie Ludy

About Ministry
"I have seen God take the broken, deformed things of this world, bless them with new life and sanctify them for His special purpose. From a broken tree, God provides shade in the summer. From a deeply scarred youth, He forms a person of unusual compassion and understanding, a model of hope to the disheartened of the inner city. From the twisted personality of a counselor, he shapes a healer of emotional pain and uses a rebellious nature for creative purposes. - I am reassured to know that the straightness of my grain is not a precondition of usefulness to God. And I am humbled to see that out of the twistedness of my wounds, He designs for me a special place of service." - Robert D. Lupton
About Marriage

"Marriage is a living organism. It is at every moment either growing or dying. And growth always means change."


"A woman must realize that it is godly to be sexy, and a man must realize that it is sexy to be godly." - Rebecca Jones


“Part of the mystery of marriage is that you are ONE, not only in your joys, gains, and victories, but also in your humiliations, losses, and brokenness. Part of your lifelong unconditional commitment is to bear reproach with him. The consequences of his choices will deeply affect you as well. But, in your willingness to share in his losses, you become a living illustration of the heart and spirit of JESUS, enabling Him to extend GRACE and healing through your wounded body. Yours is a high and holy calling. And in embracing and fulfilling it, you will experience a greater intimacy and oneness with the Savior, than most will ever know this side of heaven.” - Nancy Lee DeMoss


"When your husband is sick, and you're all alone with your kids, and you have no more reserves of strength (not that I would have any recent experience with this) and you start to protest, "this isn't really what I signed up for!", THAT'S the moment when God reminds you.... "these ARE the vows you took. This is what that meant, though you didn't see this situation as the future of those words. All you could see was the "love" Hollywood sells. But
that was just the igniting flame." - Jess

"Woman was made out of a rib of Adam; not made out of his head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal to him, under his arm to be protected by him, and near his heart to be beloved." - Matthew Henry


Being my husband's helper doesn't mean I love myself less, it means I love Nathan more. - Morgan

About Womanhood


"Scripture never discounts the female intellect, downplays the talents and abilities of women, or discourages the right use of women’s spiritual gifts. But whenever the Bible expressly talks about the marks of an excellent woman, the stress is always on feminine virtue. The most significant women in Scripture were influential not because of their careers, but because of their character. " -John MacArthur


“A woman whose heart is not touched by the sickness of sorrow and whose hands do not go out in relief where it is in her power to help, that kind of woman lacks one of the elements which make the glory of womanhood. Some homes bless no lives outside their own circle. Others are perpetually pouring out sweetness and fragrance. The ideal, Christian home is a far-reaching benediction. Its doors stand ever open with a welcome to everyone who comes seeking shelter from the storm or sympathy in sorrow or help in trial. Some wife, weary already, her hands over-full with the multiplied cares and duties of her household life, may plead that she has no strength to spend in sympathy and help for others, but it is truly wonderful how light these added burdens seem when they are taken up in love." – J. R. Miller


“When the mists of earth have gone on forever, such a woman will appear in her Lord’s own presence with rejoicing, bearing her sheaves with her. At His feet, she will cast down the fruit of her hands and the works accomplished through His grace to have all surveyed by Christ. How sweet to hear His words of approval in the gate." - H. A. Iornside

"A true woman’s sanctified, feminine instincts make her a channel of compassion to the afflicted and the oppressed." - Susan Hunt



About being a Wife

“No wife can overestimate the influence she wields over her husband, or the measure in which his character, his career, and his very destiny are laid in her hands for shaping.” - J. R. Miller


About Life

"It's never too late to be who you were meant to be." -Elliot


"Once you're a pickle you can't be a cucumber again" :D - Danae 


"Heroes are made long before they do anything courageous."


"Because the end is more important than the beginning." - Morgan Dean, 9/19/10

There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore, and who always will. So don't worry about people from your past - there's a reason they didn't make it to your future.

"When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want and if they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them."
-Marilyn Monroe

"Love sought is good, but given unsought is better" - W. Shakespeare

"I believe that everything happens for a reason; People change so you can learn to let go; Things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they're right; You believe lies, so that you can learn to trust no one but [Jesus]; And sometimes good things fall apart so that even better things can fall together."
-Anonymous

"Cinderella walked on broken glass. Sleeping Beauty let a whole lifetime pass. Belle fell in love with a hideous beast. Jasmine married a common thief. Ariel walked on land for love and life. Snow White barely escaped a knife. It was all about blood, sweat, and tears, because love, means facing your biggest fears."

"Watching you walk out of my life hasn’t made me bitter about love, but rather, it has shown me that if I wanted so badly to be with the wrong person, how beautiful it will be when the right one comes along." - Bethany's page :)

"Someday someone will walk into your life and make you realize why it didnt work out with anyone else."
