Proverbs 31

I am loving laurennicolelove right now (there is a link on the right side of my blog). She is artsy and passionate and loves God. One of her posts talks about how the women we are and will become is between us and God...you can read this post here. I love her interpretation of Proverbs 31 and I thought I would share:

A valuable woman who can find?

She is worth more than diamonds and gold.

Her man brags about her

and because of her, needs nothing else.

She fills his life with good things, not problems,

every day of their life.

She loves hunting for pretty things

And making beautiful things to sell online. (Yep, I said it.)

She's just like a small business,

earning a living around the world.

She pulls late nights

To make things for her family

and for her friends.

She finds things she is passionate about

and invests in them

paying for them out of her own earnings.

She works hard because she knows what she loves,

her arms are built for what she does.

She knows that what she invests her time in is worth it,

and her light stays on late into the night.

In her hands she grips the tools she needs,

she knows how to use them and how to create.

She throws open her doors to the poor

and gives freely to everyone that needs anything she has.

When life gets hard, she has no fear for her family

for she has made sure all of them are clothed well.

She decorates her home to reflect herself,

and dresses well.

Her man is respected in what he does,

everyone around him admires him.

She creates clothing, art - anything she loves

and sells it off.

She is strong and confident in her reputation,

she can laugh in the face of anything, fearing nothing.

She speaks wisdom and truth,

and can guide others well and easily.

She is aware of everything in her home,

and never suffers from laziness.

Her children stand up and tell others of who she is,

her man also - he sings her praises.

She knows that charm can have no foundation

and that some beauty does not last

but she fears the Lord, and she will be praised for it.

Give her the reward that she has so well earned

and let everything she does bring her praise wherever she goes.
