Righteous Relationships
This Level will continue building on the healthy relationship skills we found in God’s Truth in Level 7. The goal of this level will be to find truth about dating, courting, marriage, and love relationships, according to Scripture. Our goal is to facilitate conversations and guidelines to be set by each family for their own daughter (or mentored girl). We will ask and discuss a lot of questions so that you can come up with your own ideas, definitions, plans, and convictions. I hope this year can be a guide to help you navigate (with mom) the righteous path God has for you. Truly, not any one path will look that same…but the goal is that each one honors God. This will all collectively go in a notebook you can keep and look back on for a long, long time. We will also spend a lot of time talking about beauty, inner beauty, and how we define and develop those within ourselves.
Through the Etiquette Factory’s dating book, we are going to explore Godly dating standards. Having some special guest speakers to demo ‘beauty’ is a fabulous touch. Speaking of beauty, we will be reading a book about defining our beauty: Backwards Beauty also by Jessie Minassian (the author from last level’s book). We will also spend a lot of time talking about beauty, inner beauty, and how we define and develop those within ourselves.
The craft? Hope Totes!!
This is a spin off the old tradition of creating a Hope Chest as a young female. The Hope Chest was a solid wooden box that would hold treasure for an upcoming time. This could be a woman leaving home for an adventure, new employment, or because she was getting married and starting a new life.
In this level, we want to prepare for the future God has specifically for you. In the spirit of fun and hope, we will make meaningful items to give you a sense of belonging, history, memories, and also anticipation.
