I really enjoyed my life today. When I woke up I was so looking forward to my friend Yodit's bible study. She sent an invite via Facebook to discuss Proverbs 31 and I was quick to reply. I love love love the book of Proverbs, especially chapter 31. So, I left Financial Peace class early to make the event. It was so uplifting to be around women who are striving to live holy and be unique in this crazy mixed up world. One of the best points for me was that I must remain hidden in God. In time, he will expose me, but only when the time is appropriate.
I have never been the "look at me" type of woman. More often than not, I tried to blend in because I was insecure about my hair, my skin, my this, my that. You name it. BUT as I came to know God, I believed his word. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are his works and that my so knows very well. The Proverbs 31 woman knows her worth, her value. She doesn't flaunt it. She exudes it. She is prepared for life so she can look forward to tomorrow without worry.
At 33 years old, it is sometimes difficult to remember that God has a plan that I cannot begin to fathom. I desire to be married. I desire to have children. However, I desire for it to be right and in the will of God. Proverbs says, "the Lord maketh rich and he addeth no sorrow". So, though I want to begin a family, I will wait (patiently) for God. While I'm waiting, I have a life to live. I have a purpose to fulfill. And while I'm hiding in him, I am seeking his kingdom. I am seeking his righteousness. I am working on becoming a Proverbs 31 woman. In the meantime, I will take Yodit's advice and appreciate the process. Pow3rful in Him, Chris
