Ok so this last month I didn't really learn the art of sewing and I didn't pick up knitting needles and learn to knit, but thats ok. I did make one pillow and a christmas stocking for Joel.
I just read this in my Life Application bible about Proverbs 31:10-31
" Proverbs has a lot to say about women. How fitting that the book ends with a picture of a woman of strong character, great wisdom, many skills and great compassion.
Some people have the mistaken idea that the ideal woman is the Bible is retiring, servile, and entirely domestic. Not so! This woman is an excellent wife and mother. She is also a manufacturer, importer, manager, realtor, farmer, seamstress, upholsterer, and merchant. Her strength and dignity do not come from her amazing achievements, however. They are the result of her reverence for God. In our society, where physical appearance counts for so much, it may surprise us to realize that her appearance is never mentioned. Her attractiveness comes entirely from her character.
The woman described in this chapter has outstanding abilities. Her family's social position is high. In fact, she may not be one woman at all - she may be a composite portrait of ideal womanhood. Do not see her as a model to imitate in every detail; your days are not long enough to do everything she does! See her instead as an inspiration to be all you can be. We can't be just like her, but we can learn from her industry, integrity, and resourcefulness."
Awesome! :) Thank you Life App. Bible for sharing that. I have been putting a lot of pressure on myself about not doing much with my challenge last month. But I did do well with shopping under budget and cooking. I even learned to make home made pasta! :) I am happy with the steps I am making. I need to feel more happy about my progress instead of get myself down on what I didn't do.
Keep leading me Lord to be more like you.
Thank you.
