I'm a Wonder Woman Wannabe!

In the month of June I studied Proverbs during my morning quiet times. I read one chapter a day for 30 days. Now here in July, I have been dwelling on Proverbs chapter 31. Have you ever read Proverbs 31? The Godly woman described here is truly a Wonder Woman! Here's some of what this Godly woman does in her week...

She works with eager hands

Brings her food from far off

Gets up while it is dark to prepare for her day

Stays up late working

Provides food for her family

Considers a field, buys it, and plants a vineyard

She works vigorously

Her arms are strong for her tasks

She sews her family's clothes

She helps the poor

Her husband is respected

She speaks with wisdom

She watches over the affairs of her house

She does not eat the bread of idleness

She fears God

Oh my - this woman is Wonder Woman!!! I'm a Wonder Woman Wannabe!!!

Please do not ever think because I write this blog I think I have it all together. I do not want to deceive you into thinking this - I am on a journey to living well - and no one will live perfectly well - till we are with our sweet Savior in heaven - but until then I am striving to be a woman who works with the attitudes of the Proverbs 31 woman - to be eager as I manage my home. To work vigorously serving my family and not get stuck at my computer all day long (hehe! as I am tempted to do). To not eat the bread of idleness but to have a plan for the day and accomplish it.

If you are tempted to be lazy, whiny, cranky, or bored with your housework - I want to challenge you to sit for 10 minutes and just soak in Proverbs 31:10-31. Pray that God exchanges your grumpy heart for an eager one!

And remember - keeping your children entertained all day long does not lead to Godliness. Bring them along side of you as you work with eager hands and train them also to have an eager heart as they work to the glory of God! When you don't give children a focus - they focus on themselves.

Walk with the King!
