Maidens of Virtue and Honor

In Winter of 2000, Dear Princess changed to the name of Maidens of Virtue and Honor, and merged into a section of the publication Foundation Truth. As before, I, Abigail Spinks, am laboring as editress, but Skye has gone on to other things. I am striving to accomplish the work of the Lord in this section, at His direction, and would greatly desire your prayers.

Standing Alone Discussion?

In the last issue of Dear Princess we mentioned that we were planning a “Standing Alone” discussion topic for the next section of Maidens of V and H, however as time went on, we simply did not feel God’s blessing on it and though we recieved a few submissions on the topic we did not feel that God’s blessing was in this topic for this time. We’re sorry we didn’t mention this last issue—it quite slipped our minds. We appreciate those who wrote and perhaps may have this disscussion another time, but for now we will not. See “We Need Your Help!” for the discussion topic that we feel the Lord wants us to pursue at this time. If you feel burdened we would be most interested to see your articles upon this subject.

On Writing and Contributions

“The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad.”* (Psalm 126:3) Has the Lord done anything for you? We would be so encouraged to hear about it! Whether you have found any helpful tips or hints in learning a skill, or the Lord has been teaching you a lesson, given you help or answered prayer, please feel free to share. In this way, you can encourage, challenge, and strengthen others in the right, for we are called to “consider one another to provoke [stir up, spur] unto love and to good works.”* (Hebrews 10:24)

If you are feeling like you have nothing to share, please search your heart and find why. As daughters of the King, our hearts should be full of His praises, and lips ready to tell of His goodness. If that is not the case, we should find out what ails us. Don’t be cheated out of the blessing of sharing what the Lord has done for you or is teaching you! Do not let the devil tell you it is boastful or prideful to write and share what God has taught you—you are only glorifying the Teacher, which we are commanded to do.

We would greatly appreciate hearing from mothers, grandmothers, older sisters—we have much to learn from you. Please do write and share what experience in the Narrow Way has taught you (Titus 2:3-5).

For those of you who have written; thank you all for your letters, which are a great source of encouragement to us. For as “iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.”* (Proverbs 27:17) Your comments, concerns and suggestions are welcome so please feel free to write in if you have any. Keep in mind that we consider your letters for printing; therefore please state in your letter if you wish it not to be printed or done so anonymously.
