SISTER WISDOM : build a better life

Icon

Proverbs 31 in First Person

Because we need to start believing we can be what we strive to be.

I am worth more than precious jewels.

My husbands trusts in me with good reason. I do not cause him to lack that trust. I am good to him.

I gather the supplies I need and do my work willingly. I bring in the best value for my household.

I get up early; while it is still dark outside, I am planning for my household.

I make wise business investments and use the profit for further investment.

I strengthen myself physically, so that I have energy and ability to do my work.

I give appropriate value to what I produce. I don't sell myself short. I finish what I start, and even in my sleep I'm thinking of new ideas. I acquire the skills and tools I need.

I find those in need and give to them; I bring them into my life.

I don't fear difficult or lean times, because I am prudent. I prepare what we need before we need it.

I clothe myself attractively. I'm no frump. I know how to be appropriate for the occasion.

Because I show such respect for my husband's leadership, other people notice and respect him, too.

I have high standards and I do not accept less than excellence in what I do, for my household, for my business, and for myself personally.

I am strong and clothed in honor. The future looks good to me. I am not overwhelmed by changes, even when they are unexpected. I rejoice at the richness of my life.

I choose my words with wisdom and I use a tone of kindness.

I work hard and faithfully to manage my household. I am not idle. I am aware of the importance of my position.

I receive the praise and blessing of my family graciously. I do not boast of my successes. I fear the Lord.

  1. I love your blog. Thanks for following me on twitter.

Are You One of Us?

We become women who are fearless. We question assumptions; we rethink cultural norms; we refuse to take society's word for what matters, what life should be; we look for the reason behind the traditions; we take time to think through both daily habits and lifelong beliefs. We do what it takes to build a better life.

Worth Repeating

Discipline, for the Christian, begins with the body. We have only one. It is this body that is the primary material given to us for sacrifice… More spiritual failure is due, I believe, to this cause than to any other: the failure to recognize this living body as having anything to do with worship or holy sacrifice. — Elisabeth Elliot
