Ginny - True Woman Day 2

Good Morning Girlz!

S - Proverbs 31:10-31

O - I like the two statements Nancy makes, "On her own, no woman can be like the woman we read about it Proverbs 31." and "Any woman, who is a child of God, can be liks this woman."  I also like how Nancy points out that becoming a true woman is a process.

A - I guess I experienced Nancy's contradicting statements a little this past weekend.  I had gone and gone and gone here and there and here and there and all I needed to do and all I wanted to do was be at my house getting things cleaned, in order, and taken care of.  All of this climaxed at 3:30 in the morning on Sunday.  I woke up, wide awake and couldn't go back to sleep, so I got up and for the next 5 hours before I got in the shower for church I got so much done.  Everything that I had been thinking about in my head that I needed to do, but had no time to do it got done during those wee hours of the morning.  It was great, but then at about 4:00 Sunday afternoon it all hit.  I got so tired and I couldn't stop.  I had gone all day since 3:30 and I still had more to go.  I hadn't been home all day and there were 2 things left to do before I could get to the house that evening.  That night at church was our monthly prayer meeting, and I remember Him saying to me, "as tired as you are, I can still renew you."  No matter how tired I am or worn out or frustrated or lonely or hopeless there is still strength found in our Lord.  He makes something from nothing. 

Nancy says this in today's entry: "But first is the fact that she fears the Lord. She’s a woman who reverences God. And that is more important than everything else she does."  Beyond all that we do and all the ways we help others out and all the ways we take care of everything, we must fear the Lord and know that it is only from His strength that all is made possible.

P - Lord I want to be renewed by You.  I want all that I do to be done because I love You and fear You.  Please make me into a Proverbs 31 woman.

  1. It's so cool what God can do through us if we just listen! Yesterday I prayed to keep my eyes open for who I could minister to and low and behold a girl in town who was needing some baby things got in touch with me and I was able to give her a car seat, bouncy seat, pump, and bassinet!!! All of which she couldn't afford to buy and I was able to provide for her from what God had given us!
    I need to pray more earnestly more often, I'm learning!
