Proverbs 31

I'm embarking on a new journey.  Well, not really so new for me, but I digress.

I don't know who or what God has in store for me anymore.  I used to think I knew God's plan, but pretty much everything I thought, God said, "Surprise!  Not really!"  So I've just been listening and learning to be patient....NOT one of my strong suits and Mom, I don't need you to agree.

Many of you know I've been really studying this year how to be the best wife I can be.  I've been reading books like Before You Plan Your Wedding, Plan Your Marriage and Love and Respect.  Well, plans have unfortunately changed, but my feelings haven't. No matter who God has for me, I still want to be the best.  So I've decided to study and memorize Proverbs 31:10-31!  It's a passage in the Bible about being a Godly wife. 

I know there are people out there who think that this goal is stupid, who think that me wanting a "God-honoring marriage" is silly, after all who really needs God as the center of your marriage if you love each other!?  But to those people out there, I say to you.....Been there, done that.  And I don't want it anymore. 

So, you'll probably see some posts over the next several weeks about some things I've taken away from that passage and EVENTUALLY, if we're hanging out, you can ask me to recite the passage and I'll say, "With pleasure!"
