Part One:Keeping Your Heart & Serving The Lord As A Young Lady

When I was growing up, I did not “date” like most girls my age. By “date”, I mean going out or spending lots of time with guys on a regular basis for fun, or for the slim possibility that I might marry one of them years down the road.
When the time for marriage came, I [...]

A quick note from the administrator….

I wanted to apologize for the lack of material in this site lately….The summer is almost over, and with all the extra activities winding down, I hope to get back to Handmaidens once more and continue what was begun. Thank you for your patience the past few months.

Trusting and Believing

I must start with my usual spill, but I don’t think I could stress it enough-Do not trust what I say. Look up what God’s Word says about these things and trust Him alone!

I had a few verses I had noticed on trust, along with a few thoughts I’d like to share. I’d like you [...]

More on Hope and a Future

I thought I’d share some notes I’ve taken over the past few Sundays at church. It seems that everywhere I look, I find more on this topic. Is the Lord trying to teach me something or what?
The words in italics are from the notes; the ‘regular’ print is my own.
Excerpt of teaching given by Mr. [...]

Evolution vs. Intelligent Design

Hi, I am sorry this is several days late. I wasn’t able to post Tuesday, and well, after that I plain forgot. I apologize.
Anyway, I went to see Expelled the other week, and have been thinking about it a lot. I really appreciate Ben Stein’s work and would recommend this documentary to others. Basically, [...]

Lost, Little Girl; Hope And A Future

I sit here at my computer, pondering ‘what in the world will I write about!’….I have to admit I’ve been procrastinating.
The reason for this is that I feel I have absolutely NOTHING to share. All my springs of creativity, and wisdom are dried up. I am at the lowest point of the valley, and the [...]

Apple Pie?

These are some verses that are still in “working progress” for me, but I thought I’d go ahead & share them with…well, with whoever reads this. They’ve been good challenging verses for me so I don’t see why you shouldn’t have to be challenged with me, “Two are better than one”. : )
1) 2 [...]

Oo! oo! More Cookies!

Here by popular request…
ZUM cookies!
Actually, it was by StoneRose’s request, but I hope the rest of you will enjoy them as well. They are thick, chewy, chocolate cookies with Andes® mint chips.
These are veeerrryy good. We stumbled across the chocolate cookie recipe and decided to add mint chips to shake it up a little. As [...]

CHOCOLATE-COFFEE-ALMOND COOKIES: BEST EVER!

Well, it seems I have missed my own deadlines quite a few times the past few weeks….and yet again on Sunday. To be honest, I don’t have much of anything to share with you, as I’m still in the middle (suspended mode) of the studies I’m currently doing.
I came across this recipe last week, and [...]

Not from here, and thankfully not from Mars

I am considering whether it would be best to start with a warning or a disclaimer. By now it is a little too late for a warning and too early for the disclaimer, so you are left with my opening thoughts-what other, more established, writers would call an introduction. If you are confused, don’t worry [...]
