"She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household and plan the day's work for her servant girls." -Proverbs 31:15
"She is energetic and strong, a hard worker. She makes sure her dealings are profitable; her lamp burns late into the night." -Proverbs 31:17-18
"She extends a helping hand to the poor and opens her arms to the needy. She has no fear of winter for her household, for everyone has warm clothes. She makes her own bedspread. She dresses in fine linen and purple gowns. Her husband is well known at the city gates, where he sits with the other civic leaders."-Proverbs 31:20-23
"She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness. She carefully watches everything in her household and suffers nothing from laziness."-Proverbs 31:25-27
"Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised." -Proverbs 31:30-All these verses are from the NLT version of the Bible.
"But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives."-Galatians 5:20-25 (NLT)
These are a few verses that came to mind when I was thinking about how the Lord could and is preparing me as a wife for someday. The Lord is giving me jobs that also has helped and prepared me to become that wife and mother that I always wanted to be. Like right now, I am a lead teacher and it is helping me become more patience, have more self-control, and know what peace looks like along with many other things.
The job has also helped me notice what I am good at and what special gifts I have that it is really crazy. It has showed me that I could be lazier but I am a hardworking type of gal. It also shows me that I will do anything for the children at my job even if it means working from or at home. I will even spend money on them if it makes learning more fun for them. It shows that I am extending my hands to the poor and needy. It might not be the kind we think about but they are little children in need of learning things like how to walk, how to color, and other things like that.
I know I need to work on those things more because those things plus more are never-ending things for a child or even for me to learn. Most of the time, I learn how to be a person and how to be more grateful from the children themselves then I do from myself. That is why I love working with children. They are so outspoken and don't even think about what they are saying and most of the time it is what we need to hear.
They are some things I need to work on too. Things like dressing up more often and I think again this job as helped me with that. I need and want to make and sew more things but it is hard when it is only you living by yourself. That one might have to wait. I feel that I am praised a lot more at this job and that they see pass what I do and push me to what I can do and I love that challenge. They know I can do things and will do things if I am pushed most of the time. They take my college degree into account.
It is just strange how a job can prepare you for life but then again my job is a job that a mother and women should do everyday if they have children. I know I will need to learn these verses over with each stage of life and children's life but at least I have a good feeling about what it is suppose to feel like. I even got a good feeling of what a wife is suppose to be like. She is suppose to be there a support her husband no matter what the cost is or how she does it. It can be seeing him face to face or through prayer or both.
I just need to be that kind of wife that will enrich his and bring him good all the days of his life. I need to be a wife that a guy can trust with everything and anything. I am really trying to be that wife. I know I might need to back off in some situations a little bit more then others and I am trying. I think I am getting better at it then I was when I was younger but you can never stop that especially when your guy's or husband work is growing to where he wants it to be or going up the ladder to where he wants to be.
Life is all about learning because there is so many different stages of life. We have to learn in every single stage of it. These verses are just some that I am going to keep with me and in my mind for the years to come. In a strange way. they have already been in my mind so I can't let them go. It is something I always have strived for and always will. It is a dream that I want to come true for me.
So Lord, Prepare Me and keep preparing me in Your Eyes, not the world's eyes.
