I decided to jump on this 31 day writing challenge at 6:15 am on October 1st. Nothing like last minute planning! I’m typically not a last minute type of gal, however with the crazy busy week last week, the days flew by and here we are.
I decided I am going to write about something I am very, very passionate about. The Proverbs 31 Woman. Since my blog is about baking, tending to your family’s needs and taking care of your home, I thought it would work nicely with my blog topic. Not to mention, it is a great subject.
When we really started getting involved with the church we are currently at, I remember sitting in a M.O.M.S group, listening to a devotion. The speaker made the comment, “You all know the Proverbs 31 woman”.
I didn’t have a clue who the Proverbs 31 woman was.
There was a woman in Proverbs? Why was she special? Who was she? Why hadn’t I heard of her before? Since this person who was giving the devotion (though I didn’t know her well yet) seemed to know what she was talking about, I wanted to learn everything I could on the Proverbs 31 woman. Over the years, I have learned the meaning, the passion and the truth about this description of an excellent wife and mother.
My goal is to be like her.
Every day this month, we will talk about the Proverbs 31 woman and how God gave us this example on how to shape our homes and families. Stick with me as I am reminded the truths of this passage and I reveal my many shortcomings. Hope you will still like me. ;-)

Being a Proverbs 31 woman takes work. I am not perfect and find often through my life that I fail at living up to being that kind if woman. My prayer is less of me and more of Him. I want to molded and shaped into what He wants me to be not what my husband thinks I should be. I am a pastor’s wife and being in ministry….. well is a lonesome place at times. I just want to be the kind if WOMAN that my Lord wants me to be.

It does take work. It certainly is not easy. We are all to strive to be who God made us to be. We will never be perfect, yet we are to always strive to please Him. We can please Him (in one way) by respecting our husband, as the Bible commands. The Proverbs 31 woman gives us tips and ideas on how to take care of our households. I’ll pray for you! Thanks for stopping by!

I am so excited to read your posts about the Proverbs 31 woman. I recently wrote a post about her as well. Something that God showed me as I prayerfully read His Word in moments of quiet desperation. I look forward to reading what you have in store to share!
Blessings.

I’m writing about Proverbs 31 too! I’m posting a picture of the verse each day and then what I think it means. I have found some days are a little harder to understand than others, but I know by the end of the month I will know what a Godly woman is. Looking forward to reading what you think! =)

I’m looking forward to your series! I hope you enjoy reading mine. It is so great to dig into God’s word and read His truths for us, isn’t it? :-)
