The purpose of this blog is to bring women together, share with one another, and use scripture to teach all woman, including myself, what it means to be a woman that fears the Lord.
Proverbs 31:10-30
Who can find a virtous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safelty trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar. She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. She considereth s field, and buyeth it; with fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengthenth her arms. She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night. She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. She is not afraid of snow for her household: for all her household is clothed with scarlet. She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
This is not easy to be, but with the Lord it is possible, we will explore what this means.
Using scripture to show what a woman who fears the Lord looks like. Taking back the woman God meant us to be not what the world tells us. God's way is best.
