"An excellent woman who can find? She is worth far more than precious jewels." -Proverbs 31:10
I mentioned in my first post that excellence, by the world's definition, is more often than not based on money. The lives of people who have abundant finances are considered desirable. However with God, true riches lie behind good works, and a pure heart, and waiting on him.
So here is how this will work. The excellent woman is described in Proverbs 31, verses 10-31. Verse 10 (mentioned above) speaks about her worth to those around her. That leaves twenty verses which specifically describe her attributes (vs 11-31). There are 50 weeks left in the year 2010, and twenty verses to work toward. Fifty weeks and twenty verses broken down (with expert math) leads to the ratio of 1 verse, every 2 1/2 weeks.
I will study 1 verse every 2 1/2 weeks, applying it to my simple little life. I plan on bringing in some outside sources, and talk about things I've learned. I will write once a week, maybe twice if i work up the gusto.
If you are reading this, pray for me! I am praying, but hoping I can have the support of my friends. I'm so thankful to God that I live in a country where I can freely study the scripture, and His wisdom. May this quest be pleasing to Him, and may it bless those around me.
God Bless,
Caryn
