A Good Wife

I have been spending some time in Proverbs 31 learning about being a good wife.  Epilogue: The Wife of Noble Character


10 [b]A wife of noble character who can find?

She is worth far more than rubies.

11 Her husband has full confidence in her

and lacks nothing of value.

12 She brings him good, not harm,

all the days of her life.

13 She selects wool and flax

and works with eager hands.

14 She is like the merchant ships,

bringing her food from afar.

15 She gets up while it is still night;

she provides food for her family

and portions for her female servants.

16 She considers a field and buys it;

out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.

17 She sets about her work vigorously;

her arms are strong for her tasks.

18 She sees that her trading is profitable,

and her lamp does not go out at night.

19 In her hand she holds the distaff

and grasps the spindle with her fingers.

20 She opens her arms to the poor

and extends her hands to the needy.

21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;

for all of them are clothed in scarlet.

22 She makes coverings for her bed;

she is clothed in fine linen and purple.

23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,

where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.

24 She makes linen garments and sells them,

and supplies the merchants with sashes.

25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;

she can laugh at the days to come.

26 She speaks with wisdom,

and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

27 She watches over the affairs of her household

and does not eat the bread of idleness.

28 Her children arise and call her blessed;

her husband also, and he praises her:

29 “Many women do noble things,

but you surpass them all.”

30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;

but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

31 Honor her for all that her hands have done,

and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
 
There are so many things in there to work for and aspire to.... but check out this little girl:

(Sorry its sideways... I cant figure out how to flip it!)
She saved her birthday money to buy herself a fishing rod and tackle box.  She also has a special fishing hat.  This kid puts the worms on and takes the fish off.  Yup.. she is going to make a GREAT WIFE someday!! Haha.  :o)
 
I am hoping to share more on Proverbs 31, and what God is showing me... but I had to share that first!! :oD

10 Years Old & Already Called

My beautiful baby turned 10 last week. 

Wow.

10.

Dang skippy... Im a momma to a double digit midget!  :o)

And apperantly... God decided that 10 was the age to set her apart and call her for His purposes!!

One day last week, Madi, Mike and I were in the care running errands that tooke us all over the places.  Madi was using the time to talk our ears off.  She was telling us all about a dream she had and what she thought it meant.

Basically.... she said God told her that she was going to be a pastor so she can preach the Word.  She was going to do it in many other countries and she wanted to learn to speak the languages so she could preach to many people.  She was also not going to have ny kids of her own, just adopt a whole bunch.  She also was going to teach her kids to preach and to worship so they could grow up and be ministers.
She said she was going to grow up to be a hero.  She wants to lead people to Jesus.... to help them spiritually, financially, and every other way. 

Thats my kid.  Thats the little human God gave me to raise!!  Talk about a great honor!  Wow.  I am so blessed by her.  And I am so excited for her future.  I cant wait to see what God has in store for her!!!
