Yesterday Handsome gave me the most wonderful thing, he gave me a day to clean the house!!! I absolutely love and enjoy cleaning. I never feel more accomplished than when the floors have been vacuumed and mopped, the sinks sparkling, the kitchen spotless, and the living room without clutter. Ahhh...life is good! : ) I haven't always been this way and I think my mother, God bless her, was really holding her breath for awhile hoping that I would grow out of that stage, I did. I think when I was about 13 or 14 I read Proverbs 31:10-31 for the first time. I remember just being in awe of this woman that God describes and in my heart decided that was who I wanted be. Thank you Lord, that I had parents that encouraged this and helped me when I was anything but that woman.
Every time I read through it I become even more energized to be that wife for my husband, because more than anything I want to hear when I get to heaven, "Many daughters have done nobly, but you excel them all." I want my Lord to see a woman that both fears Him and loves Him enough to give of all of her abilities every day not just the days she feels like it. If you haven't read through this portion of scripture lately, I encourage you to do so. It is one of the places in scripture that God really lays out what He wants to see in the beautiful women He has created.
Beautiful Women that fear the Lord! |
Warning: This is not for the faint of heart, but choosing to follow the Lord isn't either. Choose wisely this day who you will be.
Love ya,
The Adventurous Farm Wife
