About Lacy
Lacy Self is a 15 year old Christian maiden living in out in the country, in Virginia. Lacy is striving to become a true Godly woman and seeks to obey the Lord in her life, and encourage others to do the same. She was convicted in 2007 to begin wearing a Biblical Christian headcovering (1 Corinthians 11:6), and has been wearing skirts and dresses (modest apparel) for several years now.
Living on a small farm, Lacy gets to learn about, train, and care for all kind of chickens, turkeys, guinea birds, ducks, and collie dogs. She loves to be around animals of all kinds, and enjoys the work of taking care of them. Lacy and her family call their home and farm “Beechnut Hill”, because of the numerous amount of beechnut trees that grow on their property, and because their house is on top of a small hill.
Lacy has always been homeschooled, and has recently finished her textbook education at 9th grade. She is now trying to focus on learning how to cook, sew, bake, clean, take care of the home, and study the Word of God. She desires above all else to please the Lord in everything she does.
Other things Lacy enjoys doing is playing her psaltery instrument, reading good books, playing Ping-Pong in the barn, riding her bicycle with her brother Levi, photography, and working with graphics.
Lacy especially enjoys making Scripture wallpapers in her graphics program. She seeks to use her talent for this to make custom wallpapers for anyone who asks.
She is the youngest of two children, her brother Levi is the oldest and is seventeen years old. He is also homeschooled and enjoys working with computers and Linux and has a blog by the name of Diligently Seeking. Please drop over for a visit and consider leaving him a comment! 
Lacy’s mother, Donna, is a Stay-At-Home-Mom and an excellent ‘Keeper of the Home’. She is constantly busy cooking desserts and food, baking, sewing and keeping the house tidy, along with her newly acquired skill of making bread!
The Self family has their own personal website entitled Obeying The Truth. On their website they have a good many challenging, thought provoking articles, tracts, preaching messages and even some music. There are also articles about the false doctrines that are abundant in the churches today. The About Us page on their website tells a bit more about the Self family and their beliefs.
The website is mostly maintained by Lacy’s father, Bill, and her brother Levi helps with the technical end. It is their hope that you will be challenged, encouraged, and enlightened by your visit.
The family loves to receive comments about their website on the Guestbook. Whether it’s questions regarding their beliefs, articles, or just a comment, do leave one!
A Godly Maiden blog is Lacy’s corner on the web to share her thoughts and musings with her readers. She hopes you will be encouraged, challenged, and inspired by what you read here. She also hopes you will share your thoughts about what she has written by leaving a comment!
Lacy can be contacted by email using this address, or by leaving a comment. If you prefer your comment to be private, you may include that in your message.

Lacy,
Your blog is beautiful and very well writtten. Your mother has done a great job of teaching you.
I, too, am a Christian, but I am unfamiliar with “headcovering.” Could you explain?
Thanks,
Shannon

Shannon ~ Thank you for your comment! I try to be ‘well written’, my Mother’s favorite subject was English!!!
The command for headcovering in the Bible can be found in 1 Corinthians 11:1-13.. It says in verses 5 and 6,
But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
Which tells me that women should cover their heads when we pray or prophesy (spelling?).

Hi Lacy, I stumbled accross your pages while hunting a christian desktop picture, you have made some great ones.
You are soooooo blessed to have grown up where you have with godly parents and away from so many temptations and worldly things. I hope and pray that you will remain pure of heart and walk always in God’s ways. Bless you and all of your family, as you serve Jesus, Our Father and the Holy Spirit.

Hi Lacy. I am 14 and I am also a Christian. I wish I new you because I believe you are a very good person and I would like to do the things you do like raising chickens and guines. I am also homeschooled and the only friends I have are on the computer and family, but in the end all you really have is your family. As others have said your blog is very beautiful and very encouraging to others like myself.

Lacy, you’re a breath of fresh air in a world of immodesty and popular Christianity. I believe God will use you for GREAT things. Thanks for making these wonderful wallpapers available, I plan to use them on our projector system for KIDS Church.
You took me back a few years, girl! I also raised chickens as a teen. Keep up the good fight and see ya in the new Kingdom!

Lacy,
I like the new fall pictures at the top of your blog. Your photography keeps getting better and better. Perhaps you should take a course in it.
Wednesday, 22. October 2008
akhomeschoolfun ~ Thank you, although the fall background picture at the top wasn’t taken by me.
I had told Mom I would’ve liked to use one of my own, but I can’t seem to take any good ones around here. The leaves are going from green to brown, and there really isn’t any good ‘fall colors’ to photograph!
Albert ~ Thank you for your encouraging words and comment!!
I’m glad you enjoyed the wallpapers! Chickens are very fun to raise!

I am a Christian girl from England, and whilst I have differing opinions on homeschooling and other things (I feel that God calls some women to careers, for example I wish to teach young children), I admire the way you choose to seek the Lord in everything, and eschew the world’s way. I have been really inspired to start covering my head for church at least, and perhaps every day!
I am a history student and I love reading about the Reformation that happened here in England. I have found women like Lady Jane Grey very inspiring for a long time now, and find the call to be a virtuous and Godly maiden stronger than ever!
God bless you and your family (and your farm :))
