“I just wanted to express my appreciation for everything on this site–it is such an encouragement to me. I am the oldest in my family–the only girl–and I don’t have very many older women to turn to for a lot of the Christian stuff. I appreciate the mentoring that all of you on this site have unwittingly given me. This site has helped me grow in my relationship with God and given me peace at many times when I have desperately needed it. It was through this site that I discovered the curly potential my hair had and now I enjoy having curly hair. I have enjoyed all the pictures that are posted–they’re just so sweet. And all the advice you ladies give on waiting, love, marriage, God, writing, learning, and so forth has not fallen on deaf ears. Thank you so much for this encouraging blog!”
“I just wanted to let you know what a blessing this website is to me! I just came across it two weeks ago or so, and all of you have been such a wonderful inspiration to me. I’m the only person in my family who is a practicing Christian, and most of my life I had no idea Who Jesus was. I’m getting married soon (to a wonderful, godly man) and since I wasn’t brought up in a Christian home, I’ve been looking for examples of women who are raising children to know and love Christ. Needless to say, I’ve found them right here at YLCF!! I’m just so happy I’ve found other women who married young and are happy homemakers. Thank you for your witness and God bless you all!!”
“The blog has been an encouragement to me and often to my parents. Realizing that there are other ladies who seek Jesus through all seasons of life is a strength every sister needs.”
“I love your site! It has really made a difference in my life. I like to say that YLCF was the reason I made it through my teen years with a faith well grounded in Christ and a greater love for my family. God led me to your site at just the right time in my life. It was a crossroads. I am not sure I would have taken the right road if it had not been for you all. So, you see, you saved my life in a way. You pointed me towards everlasting life with the Father of all. Thank you all so very much. Never doubt that you are making a difference.”
“I cannot tell you what an encouragement YLCF has been to me. I feel as though we are all friends and have so much in common even though I’ll probably never meet any of you this side of heaven! Thanks so much for the encouragement to young wives and mothers! Keep it up!”
“I truly appreciate all the articles and helps shared on the YLCF. I have been blessed many, many times and I’m always refreshed by the humility and grace I see reflected in your hearts.”
“You’re doing a wonderful job networking Christian young ladies–I’ve enjoyed the fellowship and insights.”
“I love the thoughtful biblical and sometimes ‘homey’ articles that you write. I am on night shift at the moment in the hospital where I am working and in quiet moments I browse round your web page with a cup of tea! ”
“I have to say that I absolutely adore this website! I have been so encouraged and so blessed. I’m constantly encouraged by the homeschool stories, courtship stories….and everything in between.”
“I was encouraged, refreshed, inspired, and convicted by the articles you had–you’re doing a fantastic job!”
“Very direct to issues that need to be addressed in today’s topsy-turvy world.”
“The main feeling I had as I meandered through the pages was, wow–I’m not alone! There are like-minded young ladies and men out there who are taking a stand and living a dedicated life for Christ, too. The Journal, for me, is a way to connect and read about other Christian young people who are striving to be all that God would have them be.”
“I just wanted to say how much I love your website! It is my home page. I love the articles and the godly perspective, it encourages me so much in my dream of being a Christian writer. Thank you!”
“Just the other day, I was crying to God for help! Life seemed all mixed up and it was all I could do to keep my head above water. ylcf.org ‘just happened’ to come up on google… It was such a breath of fresh air. I’ve been exploring every nook and crany of YLCF. I laughed through Josh Carden’s humor and rejoiced through all the courtship stories. No, I didn’t cry.. I was too busy just praising God for you and the other girls!”
“Darling girls, you have no idea what a blessing your website has been. With joy, I found out that girls like you really do still exist. Sometimes I wondered. I’ve been exploring every nook and crany of your site, drinking deeply from this wonderful fountain. I’m always looking for articles that I can print off and read on the bus. It’s wonderful! Your blog is the first thing I check when I get to work each morning…”
“Thank you so much for your ministry – for writing your website and pointing to Jesus in everything you write. My family is involved in ministry here in Great Britain and I know that ministry takes time and effort, a heart dedicated to God and to the ministry He has called us to, and a lot of patience!”
“This is one blog that I’m sure to check every day and am always so excited to see a new post. No matter what the topic is, I know that I will be inspired, encouraged or enlightened (or all three!). YLCF has had an impact on my life in many ways–practically, spiritually, emotionally, etc. Many former ‘loves’ of my life have been awakened again. You have reminded me of the joy of experiencing a beautiful world created by our Almighty God, the mission and influence of a Godly woman wherever she may go and the daily struggle and serenity of being a Christian young woman.”
“I hope it’s an encouragement for you to know that God is using you to bless so many young ladies. He is working through you. There’s such a need out there for godly examples to today’s young girls. Keep it up!”
“I am a longtime reader of your beautiful blog. Surrounded as I am by the trappings of modern life and all that the culture likes to force on us, it is my favorite retreat. Every day I like to sit down with a vat of green tea and open YLCF to see what new posts are up. What a beautiful, inspiring, and God-centered website you ladies have created. It played a massive role in bringing me to Christ. By looking for Anne of Green Gables on the internet at the age of 16 or 17, I stumbled on your work and was amazed. There in front of me was a perfect picture of everything I felt missing in my life, and had hardly even realized I craved. Your work has been so worth it!”
“The main feeling I had as I meandered through the pages was, wow–I’m not alone! There are like-minded young ladies and men out there who are taking a stand and living a dedicated life for Christ, too.
