Where have I been for the past two months you ask? Well, my blog hiatus has been completely unintentional. Simply put, I have been busy. Life got chaotic, crazy and unmanageable (from a human perspective). However, amidst the frenzy, I have been forced to reflect. It was this time last year that things began to …
“She goes to inspect a field and buys it; with her earnings she plants a vineyard. She is energetic and strong, a hard worker. She makes sure her dealings are profitable; her lamp burns late into the night.” This verse came at such an opportune time, perhaps that is the reason I have had so …
“She goes to inspect a field and buys it; with her earnings she plants a vineyard. She is energetic and strong, a hard worker. She makes sure her dealings are profitable; her lamp burns late into the night.” I lumped 16-18 together because I thought it would be hard to talk about one without talking …
“She finds wool and flax and busily spins it. She is like a merchant’s ship, bringing food from afar.” The word that comes to mind is “resourceful”. I see a woman that works hard at finding the highest quality goods for as little as possible. She gathers it up, puts her twist on it and brings it …
When I say that I met some wonderful women of God this past week, Traci Morrow is a primary example. Her words speak to me, and I hope that her message speaks to you, too. As you know, I’ve been all about finding that balance between mind, body and soul. I think this video blog hits the …
I love the language in these two verses for the picture they paint in my head. Per Wikipedia, a merchant vessel is a ship that transports cargo or passengers. Hmmmm. When I read that, I pictured a mom with 5 kids and a Cheerio-infested minivan. Maybe there’s something to that. Then there are the action …
“She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household and plan the day’s work for her servant girls.” Proverbs 31:15 It’s confession time. I love to sleep. Don’t we all? The inability to sleep late at least once a week was a huge adjustment for me when I became a mother. I’m a night-owl, therefore I …
I know, I know, verses 13 and 14. I’ll come back to them. It is so not my personality to skip around. If you know me well, you know I am a chronological, linear, follow-the-rules type of person. But, verse 15 jumped out at me this week, so I’m going to go against the flow …
Her husband can trust her …. I think this phrase wraps a lot of meaning into five little words. My immediate impression was of course my husband can trust me, what’s not to trust? I am completely loyal to him and him alone. But, it’s not just about loyalty. Can he trust me to run our home efficiently …
Here are the next two verses from Proverbs 31: “Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.” Seems pretty straightforward, doesn’t it? Out of curiousity, I looked up the King James Version of these verses and thought it was helpful …
