What I Didn’t Want My Girls to Know About Dating

  When it came to guys and dating as a young women, did you feel like you went at it alone? No one gave you any direction on figuring the whole thing out? My youth pastor tried. He told me to make out “my list” – …the one with all of the qualities I was going to look for in a guy. Wow, was that one long list! Faithful Honest Stable Hard-working Kind Funny… With my list in my head and in my heart, I began the search. What someone failed to tell me was when you’re 19 years old, finding …

Could Our Best Plans Not Be the Best? ~ by Lynn Cowell

  My dream left me feelings frighten and shaky. I knew it wasn’t real, yet anxiety filled my heart. My daughter had gotten married and I had played no part it. Not in the proposal, not in the planning. No part whatsoever. In my dream, I was a guest in the back of the church, watching. As her favorite music began to play, my mind began to swirl. “My girl is getting married! Why am I just sitting here?” Rushing to the bride’s room, I found her. Her bridal outfit was a reflection of her unique style; completely different from …

Changing Our Position for a New Perspective ~ by Lynn Cowell

  My heart was broken again; my crush crushing me.  I remember questioning: Why, God? Why not him? Why break up now? When God asked me to choose Him over him, my young heart obeyed, but not without a struggle. Lacking history with God, I hadn’t yet experienced the blessings of obedience. So I obeyed and hoped God knew what He was doing. Through the breakups and broken hearts, God was moving me to a new place where He could reveal a side of Him I hadn’t experienced. I had to move “out of love” with a boyfriend in order to move …

Do You Hear Him? ~ by Lynn Cowell

Do You Hear Him? With a very busy day ahead of me, a dark cloud of stress hung overhead. Having written my “to-do” list, I asked the Holy Spirit to help me hear His timeline so I could get it all done! Tackling number one, I felt a nudge on my heart, “Start with worshipping Me.” I don’t really have time for that, Lord! But peace came as I made a decision to start the day right. Setting my list aside, I turned on worship music in my living room. As I listened to scriptures woven throughout the lyrics, I saw again how …

Is There Really “The One?” ~ by Lynn Cowell

“On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, ‘Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.’” John 7:37-38 (NIV) As soon as we were old enough to understand fairy tales, we’re told to start looking for the one. Someday my prince will come. Someday I’ll find my love. As we got older, Prince Charming looked a bit different. Our teenage hearts thrilled when the latest vocal sensation sang about finding us and how our love …

The Treasure is in the Water ~ by Lynn Cowell

The Treasure is in the Water My husband and I had saved for a year to go snorkeling. With all the sacrifices we had made, I couldn’t believe we were finally on the white sandy shore. Confidently, I grabbed my gear and prepared to jump into the clear blue water. But it wasn’t like I had imagined. The mask felt funny once I got it on; how was I supposed to breathe? My heart fluttered as my anxiety grew. My mind screamed, Dive in! Get out there. This is an opportunity of a lifetime! But my feet stayed planted on dry …

Keep Parts of Your Heart a Secret by Lynn Cowell

Keep Parts of Your Heart a Secret   Facebook, Twitter, Vine, Instagram, Snap Chat…(when does it end), it’s easy to follow each detail of your sometimes roller coaster life. Girl flirts with boy. Boy returns the favor. Girls spills her guts to said boy. Boy breaks up. Girl spills more – only this time it is pain. This scenario isn’t just girls; it could easily be reversed. Because you now have access to each other non-stop, the “getting-to-know” period is now on steroids. A girl and guy can literally know everything there is to know about each other in just …
