So for those of you are unfamiliar with what I'm going on about, please find below the amazing Proverbs 31. I personally believe that if society & woman adhered to these clear guidelines then many of the issues in  society would not be so prevalent! Controversial statement, you betcha! That's what this blog is going to be :) controversial, this is my little part of the internet to spread the word about this amazing calling the Lord has given me and all women. Here is the wonderful scripture:


^{King James Version}

 
10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. 11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. 12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. 13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. 14 She is like the merchants ' ships; she bringeth her food from afar. 15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. 16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. 17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. 18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night. 19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. 20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. 21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet. 22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. 23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. 24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. 25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. 26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. 27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. 28 Her children arise up , and call her blessed ; her husband also, and he praiseth her. 29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. 30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised . 31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

Hi :) day 2 of blogging and I've managed to find my blog and sign in! So back to work today after a weekend that was much to short :(  On the plus side I managed to have a chat with the DH about life and what I would like in the future and how he sees the future. I really, really would like to extend our family and as selfish as this seems this tops my prayers at the moment (has for a long, long time) Watch this space- many things have to change first.

During our discussions this weekend, my DH asked me to spend less time connected to my laptop( a huge issue I have) and to keep myself motivated keep the home and look after his wonderful provision for me and our children. I came home from work today and did it, I cleaned the house from top to bottom and you know what it felt great, I feel so good to honor my DH in this way! I'm rather a reluctant homemaker at the moment but I hope and pray that in time I shall come to enjoy and embrace this part of my blessed role.

I am determined to become the woman that he deserves and the woman that the Lord has created me to be. I started on my journey well but had a huge wobble and after quitting my job to become a full-time stay at home Mum/wife, I fell into a huge downward spiral and lost sight of my goal and even the Lord for a while :(  Tomorrow I shall tell you dear reader what went wrong, why and where I am now.

Wow- I started this blog so long ago! So what's changed? I'm debt free, but still fighting the fat.... I'm still walking with the Lord :D and the exciting thing is I've discovered Proverbs 31. The Lord for sometime, okay a long time! has laid this on my heart- I'm on a very long journey to become this woman for my husband,my Lord and myself. The journey has so far taken some detours and has been bumpy along the way. I've allowed Satan to allow feminist ways back and lost focus on what the Lord is calling me to do :( But I'm determined to do this, I've dusted myself off and will use this blog to detail my journey the highs and lows- Prepare for some brutal honesty!With this blog I pray also that I will meet other ladies who are also on the same journey. Until tomorrow Emma x
