What mom thing are you terrible at? (Yes, I know there's at least one thing; we're all imperfect, after all, and being a mom is one of the most difficult jobs on this earth.) What wifely thing are you awful at? What other things a Proverbs 31 Woman is supposed to be great at are you honestly horrible at?
You don't have to just shrug your shoulders and say, "The Proverbs 31 Woman is just an ideal; I can never be that." Instead, I encourage you to get down on your knees and ask God to make you a Proverbs 31 Woman.Remember what Jesus said:
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!" Matthew 7:7 - 11
Oh, there's too many to mention sometimes!
ReplyDeleteI want to keep a clean house, but my version of cleanliness and my husband's are different.
And, the part in the proverbs about the woman creating an income by buying and selling property, I've tried that and have flopped at it so far. (I've been trained, but everything I touch seems to fall apart!) It sometimes feels like I lose focus on everything and can't see the forest through the trees. :/
I definitely need to spend some time in prayer about becoming a better Proverbs 31 woman/wife/mother.
