Welcome...

Dear Proverbs 31 Woman...Welcome!

Yes that's right...you are a Proverbs 31 woman whether you feel like one or not!  Whether you are married, single, divorced, widowed, young or old, you are a Proverbs 31 woman.  Most of us have heard about this super chic who does it all.  Is it even possible to attain such character and live to such a high standard and still keep your sanity?  Well, in your own strength the answer is no.  However, if you accept the call to live this way and partner with the Holy Spirit in your life it is absolutely attainable!  By the way - don't worry.  It's not as hard as you think!

I'm learning daily how to live as a Proverbs 31 woman.  I have by no means mastered this lifestyle.  Each day I'm faced with a choice to live, think, speak, act, organize, prepare, plan, lead, parent, shepard and love better than I did the day before.  Oh yes, each day presents its challenges, however, when you understand how you are called to live it makes all the difference!

There is a call of God on Christian women to live at a higher level.  Well, all Christians actually.  You may have heard the terms "above reproach" or "in this world but not of it."  Living like everyone else just won't cut it.  We cannot fall into the trap of conforming to this world; to what our society says is acceptable.  We need to conform ourselves TO the Word and be transformed BY the Word!

Proverbs 31 is the standard for me.  It's my personal challenge to be a woman of virtue, character, integrity, honesty, diligence, consistency, hospitality, creativity, wisdom and strength. 

I ask you to accept the call and receive the challenges that Proverbs 31 present to us as women!

Are you with me?
Lydia
