Sixteen Ways to Improve Your Relationship With Your Parents
Lies Young Women Believe is an excellent website for teen girls, and is based on the book by the same title. The site, as well as the book, does discuss mature topics at times, so you may want to be careful which posts or parts of the book your daughter reads. (We have read the book together as a family; it’s solid on Bible principles, while being compassionate and truthful.) This post lists 16 resolutions for teenagers by John Piper.
The Ecuadorian Martyrs
Tim Challies has a great article on “the 56th anniversary of the deaths of the missionary martyrs to Ecuador: Jim Elliot, Nate Saint, Peter Fleming, Ed McCully, and Roger Youderian.” Jim Elliot was the husband of Elisabeth Elliot, my favorite Christian author and female speaker. You can read transcripts of her radio program, Gateway to Joy here. Elisabeth’s website is here, where you can find wonderful devotions to enjoy daily, as well as other resources to help you as a Christian lady, no matter your walk in life.

Great (Homeschool) Expectations
Many homeschoolers think that their children will turn out godly just because they are homeschooling or because they are doing “everything right”. This great article addresses this issue. “But the fact is that there are no guarantees. And to those who point fingers and say, ‘Well, if you just do it right, your kids will turn out right,’ I say ‘Beans!’ I realize there’s no question that my husband and I made mistakes. All parents do. But when I think of how the Israelites treated God (see Exodus), why did I expect that none of my children would rebel or go in a different direction from the way we pointed them? Clearly each person must make their own way in life (and hopefully toward God). Not even the love of a homeschooling parent can overcome the effects of sin in the world. . .We tried our best, but we’re learning that ultimately, our adult children’s lives are between them and God.” Be sure to read the whole article.
