Proverbs 31 - Week 2

/

I always viewed the Proverbs 31 woman as a recipe for failure, so I basically wrote her off as being "an impossible goal" to attain. But through this study, the Lord really showed me that He is not asking me to be perfect. He has instead placed a guide before me and a goal to work toward, and that this is something that is to be worked toward through the duration of a lifetime. Too many times as women we write off the Proverbs 31 woman, but knowing that ALL Scripture is God-breathed, I believe this is something that God really wants us to look at! And like I said before, perfection is not the goal! The goal is to become more and more like Christ little by little, day by day.

Embracing My Now

/

So God has done something very cool in my heart the last couple of weeks! To be real, for the longest time I viewed my family as a hindrance to the calling that God put on my life. I wanted to be on the front lines of fighting human trafficking and traveling around the world with Trice as missionaries for Jesus. With “Achiever” as my #1 strength, my bucket list and to-do list were ever growing. After having Emerson, I tried to set aside my dreams for a little while, and I thought I was doing a good job… and then I had Etta Jayne! Having a new baby again comes along with no me-time whatsoever; and having two kids means less energy and time that I have to pursue my dreams and visions. The last few months, I lay in bed at night so frustrated because I kept waiting for my BIG moment, and it seemed that my family just kept. getting. in. my. way! I know it sounds awful, but hey, I’m just being real!

Honey.. I Made a Mistake.

/

Trice and I have had a fantastic 4 years of marriage together. I love him more today than yesterday, and I will continue to love him until the day I die. For real. He is the apple of my eye, the butter on my bread, the cream in my coffee, the white on my rice... you get the gist! In our 4 years of marriage, as most of you know, we have been through a LOT. Moves, kids, new jobs... lots and lots of life changes. And along with these life changes, sometimes mistakes are made. I make mistakes and so does he.

Satisfied.

Trice and I have something super special. I am more in love with him today than I was yesterday, but I’m not going to say it has all been smooth sailing. In the beginning, people would say, “Y’all are so in love with each other — it’s just because it’s the newlywed phase.” Almost as if it would be inevitable that within a matter of time and life experience we would grow to despise one another. SO encouraging, right? And then some time went by. I studied my butt off in my last year of college. And then I got pregnant unexpectedly (which by the way, can you say BEST surprise EVER?). And then we bought a house. And then we moved again. And again! And now almost four years later, I don’t think anyone can say that we are so in love with each other “just because we are newlyweds.” We have gone through a LOT in our marriage thus far, and we are still in love.
