There are days when my belief in God is severely tested. Notsomuch that I have doubts about God, I never doubt God. I just doubt my ability to serve him. Today is one in a series of those days. It starts with these thoughts on marriage and being a good woman. I believe in being that Proverbs woman, you know that one the bible talks about: A Virtuous Woman serves God with all of her heart, mind, and soul. She seeks His will for her life and follows His ways. She respects her husband. She does him good all the days of her life. She is trustworthy and a helpmeet. She TEACHES her children the ways of her Father in heaven. She nurtures her children with the love of Christ, disciplines them with care and wisdom, and trains them in the way they should go. She cares for her body. She prepares healthy food for her family. She also serves her husband, her family, her friends, and her neighbors with a gentle and loving spirit. She is charitable. A virtuous woman seeks her husband’s approval before making purchases and spends money wisely. She is careful to purchase quality items which her family needs. She WORKS willingly with her hands. She sings praises to God and does not grumble while completing her tasks. She creates an inviting atmosphere of warmth and love for her family and guests. She uses hospitality to minister to those around her. She does her best to use her time wisely. She works diligently to complete her daily tasks. She does not spend time dwelling on those things that do not please the Lord. And a virtuous woman is a woman of worth and beauty. She has the inner beauty that only comes from Christ. She uses her creativity and sense of style to create beauty in her life and the lives of her loved ones.
