The Girlhood Home Companion Magazine

Posted in Titus 2 Moments

This magazine, "The Girlhood Companion" is currently on our "wish list," as we are doing a heavy character training promotion this year within our home. I am hoping to get this for dd's birthday - shhhh don't tell her (tee hee). It is a magazine suggested for girls ages 10-18, which focus' on Godly Character.  Each issue covers a different character trait, and looks at it from a deeper level through articles, editorials and personal stories that reach the heart of our daughter's. It is considered to be a keepsake treasure.  I love this write-up about the magazine by its author Jill Novak:

The word companion is found only 13 times in the Bible. In the Greek New Testament the word sugkoinonos means: participant with others in anything, a joint partnership. Another word which is closely related to it is sunergos, meaning: a companion of labor, one who labors in furthering the cause of Christ. I think these two words perfectly describe the ministry of The Girlhood Home Companion. We are joint partners with your daughter, helping her to participate in all that is feminine and lovely as she grows in the Lord, and a companion in labor, helping her cultivate godly character qualities, thus furthering the cause of Christ. During the Victorian era, when life moved at a much slower pace, there were distinct periods of development in a girl’s life: babyhood, childhood, girlhood, and womanhood. I have seen a marked difference between the girl my oldest daughter used to be, and the lovely woman she has become in Christ. One thing I firmly believe is that girlhood is a priceless training ground that should not be rushed. I am often asked what ages are appropriate for The Girlhood Home Companion. We like to think that you will read the companion to younger daughters, ages 10-11, and discuss it with older daughters, ages 12-18. Of course, there is no reason why you cannot gather with all of your daughters, young and old (and grandmothers, too), to read and discuss the articles found within these pages. In fact, we think that reading The Girlhood weekly at afternoon tea would make a lovely tradition. In that case, dear mother, you will have to hide The Girlhood from your daughters the minute it arrives in the mail.

Hop on over to Jill's blog to get to know her better.

Just thought I would share with you something special :-) Note:  I was not paid or unctioned in any way to endorse this product.  It is just something that piqued my interest as a mom of a daughter that will some day be a wife.

Sep. 26, 2007 - Thank you!

Posted by JillNovak

Dear Kelly,
I just wanted to thank you for recommending the Girlhood. It was so kind of you to take the time to write about it. I am always so humbled when somebody takes time out of their busy day to give thanks. I pray that God will enable me to continue to bless girls and their mothers (and grandmothers) through this precious publication. Thank you so much for encouraging me. I pray that many moms and daughter's will find this publication through the internet and faithful women like you who lead them to it.
Thank you again, and may God continue to be glorified through your blog.

God bless you,
Jill Novak

Kelly is spunky, very unconventional at times, fun to talk with, my best friend, and an incredible Mom and mentor to our dd. She is not afraid to lovingly hear from and tell people the truth when it is required, and is a true covenant friend. She is passionate about her relationship with the Lord, justice and righteousness, and you may see that in our blog. She loves people deeply, and sometimes gets hurt because of it - wearing her heart on her sleeve. Hearing her talk on the phone, laugh and have fun with her friends always makes me grin from the other room. She has great JOY!

He is also an incredible Father to Pure One, and the love of my life.

Pure One is our 12 year old daughter, whose real name actually means "pure one." She loves Art, Dance, spending time with friends, Drama class, going to musicals and plays, playing the piano, fashion, video games (in moderation), and anything sports related. She also has a keen discernment about people and is sensitive to the Holy Spirit in a beautiful way. She has such a pure heart of worship before the Lord, and it is so inspirational to us.

"The truth is, if we claim Christ, we are never justified in being unkind, cold, indifferent, or cruel. Even if true serious sin needs to be addressed or dealt with, it should be in love, and love is kind, gentle, long-suffering, it seeks to elevate others, it is hopeful, assumes the best, etc. .."

~ Jen Igarashi in her post from June 14th, 2007 "I Wanna Be A Buffalo"


"As parent educators, we need to embrace a new notion of learning. We need to help the child discern the Lords will and equip him to answer his particular call. It is the heart and soul of the child we want to touch. For our purposes, we need to engage the heart in order to effectively educate the child. Our vision of a well-educated child is a child who has a heart for learning, a child who has the tools he needs to continue to learn for a lifetime and the love to want to do it."

~ Edith Stein


"A blessed thing it is for any man or woman to have a friend, one human soul whom we can trust utterly, who knows the best and worst of us, and who loves us in spite of all our faults.�"

~ Charles Kingsley


"Knowing the past about a person doesn't make us prophetic, but calling them into their future does! The question has never been, "Can we read the history of a man?" The question has always been, "Can we restore the future of a man?" Anyone can read the history of the man, but the Heart of the Father is to release the unfulfilled destiny of His broken children."

~ Denny Steyne
Mountain of Worship


"Out of defeat can come the best in human nature. As Christians face storms of adversity, they may rise with more beauty. They are like trees that grow on mountain ridges -- battered by winds, yet trees in which we find the strongest wood."

~ Billy Graham
