It is wonderful to have other women bloggers who are so like minded. That is so encouraging to me. I know I have learned a lot from them and have even seen some error in my thinking at times. That kind of reproof is so helpful in my life! I have been so blessed by meeting some very special women out there through my blog. So for today's post and the culmination to the discussions we have had here on courtship and dating, I would like to link to some of my favorite blogs and a few extra links that pertain to this topic.

The Purple Cellar is one of my all time favorite blogs...I think this must be because Lydia is so wise and has so much to teach others! I have learned a lot from her! Please read this post and while you are there go ahead and read some more...you will be challenged as well as encouraged to live more godly today.

I have a new favorite added to my recommended reading. Passionate Homemaking has been so refreshing to read! I love her healthy living lifestyle, her Biblical convictions, and her beautiful courtship story! You must read that! This is what I am praying for with my daughters! I could just spend all day at her place reading...but my life allows for about only 3 minutes there. Also, there is a link on her blog for *Christa Taylor*, her family owned business...which is a great women's clothing online shop! The clothing is modest, which is sometimes hard to find! I ordered a couple of things recently! I recommend it for cute and modest clothing for you and your older daughters!

Kim at Mercy Days has a way of saying what I think in less than 100 words(well, maybe a little more)...which is a talent! I love her simple outlook found here.

Here is another courtship story...a must read! I love reading these!

I will close with this great article...it contains some helpful information.

Thanks for reading all my posts on this topic. We take it pretty seriously...can you tell? Ha! Seriously, though...we love our children and truly just want God's best for them! There is a strong pull to stray from this way of thinking, because dating and s*exual impurity is so much the norm in our society. It will take diligence on our part as well as a passion for purity from our children's hearts. That is our prayer...that the Lord would draw them to Himself and cause their lives to be radically different from the world...that He would be glorified...and that God would be treasured and magnified through their lives.

Also, as you can see I revamping my blog roll. I have my recommended reading up for now and am trying to get the rest figured out. Thanks for your patience!
