My new book for young ladies is here!

I am so excited to announce that my first E-book, A Young Lady Who Wants More, for middle school and high school age young ladies is available now!

This brand new series of Modeling Christ Studies are designed to supplement my book, How To Be a Super Model: A Guide To Inner Beauty. My goal is to encourage and challenge young women to seek Jesus with their whole hearts; modeling their lives after Him.

I realize that it’s a countercultural message to live a life set apart from the crowd, seeking to be a young woman who glorifies God with her life. My desire is to present a strong Biblical view of young-womanhood and instill a vision of serving the Lord in youth, in a lighthearted and practical way.

* Each study is divided into short four-week devotionals in .pdf form. They may be downloaded to fit into your favorite binder or kept on your home computer. I recommend these studies for young ladies in middle school and high school. They are intended for individual devotions, small group Bible studies, youth groups, and Sunday school classes.

Excerpt: Once upon a time… there was a young lady who believed there was more to life than lip-gloss, text messages, and trips to the mall. Deep inside she knew that although the world around her found it acceptable for girls her age to rebel, dishonor their parents, dress immodestly, listen to filth, and ultimately to “just fit in”; she was different. She chose to be different. She made daily choices to live for someone other than herself. By opening God’s Word she found out she was created by a loving Heavenly Father who wanted a relationship with her and who had a divine plan and purpose for her life. He had so much more for her than this world could hope to offer. This young woman chose to set a godly example in her home, in her church, and in the world around her through her speech, life, love, faith, and purity. Yes, she made an impact on her generation by modeling her life after Jesus Christ…

The summer of my 14th birthday, the verse 1Timothy 4:12 became my goal. It says,

Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity.

It amazed me that God’s Word says that we, as young people, should set an example for believers. Aren’t adults supposed to set the example for us? Yes, of course they are. But we too are called to set an example in every area of our lives.

Most people in our culture believe that teenagers are rebellious, immature, selfish, and greedy. I strongly believe that perspective is wrong! I believe that the Bible clearly shows us that our young lives should be the exact opposite. My dear sister, did you know that the word “teenager” is never even used in the Bible? Only words like “young man,” “youth,” or “young woman.” In fact, in Myth of the Teenager by Dr. Michael Platt, he says, “There were no ‘teenagers’ before World War II.… Instead of Teenagers, there were Youths. Youths were young people who wanted to become adults. However confused, wayward, or silly they acted, however many mistakes they made, they looked to the future. They knew that adult life was different than a child's life. They planned to grow up, leave childhood behind, and become adults. They were aware that life is more than youth.”

Did you know that according to the dictionary the word “teen” means grief, misery, or damage and the word “age” means a stage of life. Thus, the teenage years are referring to years of grief and misery. No thank you! On the other hand the word “young” means an early stage of life, while the word “woman” means feminine in nature. I don’t see anything miserable about that definition.

The point I’m getting at is that God never meant our young lives to be filled with misery. That was something the devil made up to deceive and hurt us. We are young and we are women. Sure, we are learning a lot, things may get tough, and we will sin. We have all fallen short of God’s glory. But we do not need to make mistakes the way the world expects. We should make it our goal to steer clear of rebellion and selfishness, becoming strong and godly young ladies in our youth! We need to raise the standard, ladies.

Do you feel more like a “teenager” or a “young woman”?

Which would your parents say you are most like?
