Growing in Grace Magazine August 2008
Posted By Jacque on August 1, 2008
Sorry none of the article links work. Our articles are no longer on GGM. You will find our articles on our personal blogs and at Training Daughters, Teaching Wives.
As it happens each month since February first, our hard work on Growing in Grace Magazine has paid off. I am so thrilled to work with such a sweet Publisher who truly walks with the Lord. She does so much in her home, at the Sarah Home for Women and on her ministries online, and I don’t think I have ever heard her complain. She always tries to display a loving and sweet attitude, and SisterLisa is truly a joy to work with!
We started Growing in Grace in January, during a particularly difficult time in our lives (after Grandma had passed away), and SisterLisa emailed me out of the blue and asked if I would be interested in collaborating with her and her daughters to create an online Christian Magazine for Bible-Believing Girls and their Moms. Knowing how well my daughters write, and how they love to write for the Lord, I agreed after considering if this was the direction God had for us. He had just released us from another writing position and we were thrilled to see what SisterLisa had in mind. After researching girls Christian magazines online, SisterLisa had found none that were particularly Christian, and knew there was a need. There are so very few print magazines out there for Christian girls that aren’t just full of pop-culture. We are not interested in that for our girls, and we wanted to share our love of the Word and desire to train our daughters up in Him with other moms and daughters.
I think we got that first issue out in a couple of weeks, and it was so good to publish it! And to see where God has brought us in just six short months is amazing to me! We have each found our places in writing, designing, advertising, publishing, editing…. the list goes on and on! Besides all of that, I get to assign the girls research articles each month as a lesson for homeschool! I mean, you can’t beat that!
I truly am proud to announce the August 2008 Issue of Growing in Grace Magazine to you! With all the planning for school and moving and coming into this final month of summer, time is really on my mind. I know it is so important for us as mothers to create and walk in Seasons of Heritage for Our Daughters as we are home with them, teaching them to live as God’s People.
Amanda is learning a lot as an eighteen-year-old about Accountability. She also shared in my heart about time and what The Consequences Are if you are not careful with it. God has also given her a heart for history too, and also for WWII, ever since she made her Great Grandfather a photo album with all of his Service photos. She was able to also research and write about The “Little Boy” Was Dropped and Honor Was Their Code, which is about the Navajo Code Talkers. We love history here, so this was a topic of discussion in our home for the past few weeks.
Hannah worked so very hard on her article about Cowboys, Ranches and Farms. I am so very proud of all the information she gathered and put into her article. I can’t wait to get to do the study on Cowboys in our homeschool this year!
I love the site! SisterLisa is such a talented graphic designer. I thought I loved last month’s stars and stripes (which I did!), but this month is so fun and refreshing with the lemonade and the lemon twists. It is really pretty. Be sure to grab the Growing in Grace graphics for your site if you don’t already have them, and also the FREE Downloadable GGM August Desktop/Wallpaper!
So, enough of my going on about it all… go ahead… take a look at the wonderful articles that are sure to inform and inspire you. Of course, I am partial to my girls’ articles, but they are all wonderful.
Also, be sure to read A Mother’s Memo this week for details on several contests and other events. If you are a Christian Digi-Scrap Designer, see A Digi-Scrap Contest. Contest ends August 15th! Be sure to leave comments and share your thoughts with the authors! And, be sure to sign the guest book too!
blessings!

Wow good promo Jacque! And so sweet of you to say those things about me. It is truly a joy working with YOU and your daughters. You have no idea how much your lives bless ours. If, er rather, WHEN your family comes to see us, I want you to teach at The Sarah Home once while you’re here.

Dear Mrs. Dixon,
Thank you for the advice on my blog. I read your comment actually before I had posted any comment on the PP blog. Just wondering but how did you read my comment before I had actually posted it? Anyway…there is no comment on PP site as you will see because once I read it in your view it was totally different. I feel so sorry for MJ getting treated this way!! Thank you Mrs. D for letting me know!!!

Hi Mrs. Dixon!
Would it make you feel better if I deleted my comment? Just let me know! I don’t want to make you unhappy!
Thanks for your comment! I actually thought that it wasn’t in the best taste for them to write a post like that, but I figured that I would take them at face value and reply like that.
I hope I didn’t make you anxious!
I hope that ya’ll are doing well!
Have a great day! Miss you!

Oh, I see that on their blog they have changed the settings so that no one can edit or delete the comments they have left. If it weren’t for that I would have changed my comment or deleted it.
