As I mentioned in an earlier post, I am nearing adulthood, and am no where near as prepared as I would like to be. In order to continuously prepare for this upcoming season in my life, I have complied a list of scriptures to memorize, skill to master, traits to work on, and many more things. My hope is that this post not only helps me but also that it may help other young girls in preparing for whatever her future role(s) in the world may be. Now, to my favorite part… the list!
My hope is that this post not only helps me but also that it may help other young girls in preparing for whatever her future role(s) in the world may be.
Scriptures
- Proverbs 31 – For this passage, I may not memorize the whole thing, but instead, work on it verse by verse in order to develop traits similar to those of a Proverbs 31 woman.
- Titus 2 – see above
- 1 Peter 4:10-11 – memorize
- 2 Timothy 3:16-17 – memorize
- Psalm 127 – memorize
I will add more as I see fit…
Things to Read/Watch/Listen
- Return of the Daughters – documentary on “stay at home daughters”
- Created to be His Help Meet by Debi Pearl – this book is very controversial so I want to see my take on it
- Preparing To Be a Help Meet by Debi Pearl – see above
- Training our Daughters To Be Keepers at Home by Craig Ward – this book is a how-to collection of sorts; it is meant to be read over the period of seven years, but I’m going to read it much faster than that.
I will add more as I see fit…
Skills to Master
- Using a dishwasher
- Hand-washing dishes
- Making bread
- Sewing quilts
- Mixing/heating baby formula (I need to know this as a babysitter, but I have not yet cared for a newborn)
- Knitting hats, scarves, and gloves
- Ironing
- Gardening
- Learn appropriate punishments for children (not physical punishments, of course.)
I will add more as I see fit…
In the future, I will return to this list and add on to it as necessary. In order to hold myself accountable for accomplishing these things, I wanted to go ahead and publish this list.
