It’s a Good Thing…

September 12, 2011 by Guest Author 11 Comments

What comes to your mind when you hear the line “Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes” from the song, “My Favorite Things”? One that comes to my mind is that of an image of purity. A bunch of sweet little girls wearing white dresses with blue sashes. Little girls that aren’t “worldly wise”; little girls that don’t know much about evil but know a lot about good. What’s so bad about being this pure at the age of 18, 19 or 20? Obviously, there are some things that older girls will need to know that little girls don’t, but here’s some food for thought:

It’s a good thing when a young woman hasn’t had the typical “sex education” that most have because she knows that sex is saved for the marriage bed and anything outside of that is sin.

It’s a good thing when a young woman doesn’t go see every blockbuster film that comes to theaters because there is content that is not pleasing to God.

It’s a good thing when a young woman is willing to be unconventional in her fashion choices because modesty is more important to her than fashion.

It’s a good thing when a young woman doesn’t read the book that EVERYBODY is reading because she knows that there are elements of that book that aren’t pleasing to God and knows that she could easily get sucked in to its addictive pull.

It’s a good thing when a young woman sacrifices her love for theater/art/music/etc. because there is no Godly outlet near her.

It’s a good thing when a young woman trusts the advice of her parents and trusted adults more than the advice of her peers.

It’s a good thing when a young woman doesn’t know every blasphemous word out there because she hasn’t exposed herself to such things.

It’s a good thing when a young woman is confident enough in her God-given role and womanhood to be able to willingly submit to her father and in the future her husband.

 

It’s a good thing when a young woman is friendly with the young men around her but isn’t flirtatious and doesn’t throw herself at them.

It’s a good thing when a young woman has never kissed a man because she wants to save that special first kiss for the man she will marry.

It’s a good thing when a young woman doesn’t find her fulfillment in the mirror, or in a relationship, or in a job, but she finds her ultimate fulfillment in the Lord.
Sometimes it’s a good thing to go against the grain.

Welcome to Come Fill Your Cup!

CFYC About Image Welcome! We are so glad you stopped by. Come Fill Your Cup is a group of Christian ladies dedicated to equipping women for study and service. We know you are busy and that life’s hectic pace pulls you in so many directions, but you can’t truly be the woman God desires unless you take time to fill your own cup…not with spa days (though we love a good spa!) or the latest novel…but with God’s Holy Word. We want to help you with that! Our goal is to reach you in the midst of your busy day and give you encouragement, education, and fellowship as you strive to live the life God has laid before you. Our prayer is that we can help fill your cup so that you, in turn, can overflow to all those around you. So, as we like to say…come fill your cup, and let it overflow!
