Proverbs 31 Wanna Be:
Let me explain ....Recently I studied up on how to be a virtuous woman in Gods eyes.So much I learned about "the" proverbs 31 woman. First I was glad to know that she isn' t really one woman.What a relief . Anyway, proverbs 31 is simply a blueprint on what God views as virtuous for us women. What would the ideal woman look like to you? What would she look like to your husband,your son,your daughter, your sister,your mom or your friends? Would she look and act like you?Well this was certainly the eye opener question I needed to ask myself. I have focused my walk with my Savior and yep I stumble,fall and even get a bloody nose , but I keep on keeping on.I pick myself up and learn from my mistakes.
Imagine viewing your funeral.What will my loved ones say?What will I be remembered for?WOW, my entire life points right to this occasion.This is the time my legacy will be revealed.My qualities I possessed on earth will be molded into stories and memories spoke of by people at my funeral and those stories will be passed down to future generations. In a way, this blog will hold me accountable. Make sense? Think about the legacy you will some day leave . food for thought-Who you are today will impact who you will become tomorrow. I encourage you to be in pursuit of developing the qualities that will someday mold your proverbs 31 legacy.
I have been told that I am hard to understand or read. I have been talked about , just like most of you. I have been the one that others walk away from. I have been the one that some have just wanted to strangle.This is somewhat hard for me to confess as I have felt justified in doing ,saying and acting in these ways. I know now what I have always known , but not so readily to admit it, I have been prideful. Not everybody will understand Gods truth when and how I understand it.What an awesome God I serve. He has forgiven me for the bitterness and grudges. Other than having bitterness and holding grudges I am a well rounded person .LOL. I have had to apply what I read on loving people where they are and loving people for who they are. In the beginning it was hard , but it isn't as hard now as before. Still challenging but not to unbearable.What a impact.Becoming a christian didn't exempt me from sin and influences, but what I am exempt from is hell. What I do have is a forgiving God that is so full of mercy and grace.The light bulb shines brighter than ever now because I finally got "IT". I don't look to the world or people for self worth. What a freeing revelation for me.
As I close, I would like for those who take the time to read my blog to know that I am a real person with faults and excuses just like the next person and I am truly seeking out how to be the ideal virtuous woman that my God desires. Hope you will be encouraged to do the same.
