"Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate."
Proverbs 31:31
Every woman should read chapter 31 of Proverbs for inspiration and instruction on how to be a Godly woman. Let's look at some of the adjectives used in this chapter to describe a woman of faith: merciful, observant, trustworthy, helpful, energetic, reverent, dignified, and wise. WOW! I have a just a few of those traits on a good day much less have all of those traits all day every day! :)
Jesus knows we are not perfect, and he loves us for being imperfect. A few of you may look at this chapter in Proverbs and feel overwhelmed that you will never measure up to what God desires. My advice to you is to substitute the overwhelming feeling with the feeling of inspiration. These biblical traits should always inspire us as women, and set off a burning desire in our hearts to grow closer to God every day. God bless you all!

Words
"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but harsh words stir up anger."
Proverbs 15:1
I have to remember this verse A LOT now that I am a wife and parent. As humans we tend to say exactly what we want to and care little about others feelings. We all remember the saying "Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me.".....not meaning to put this bluntly but whoever said that is a big fat LIAR! :) Words can hurt. As Christians, our words should mimic what Jesus would say. We must choose words that are compassionate and rich in Spirit. Don't get me wrong moms sometimes there are times when we should have a harsh tone and correct our children, but never should we yell in anger towards them. For all of you that read this blog today my prayer for you is that you stop and think before you speak. Are the words that are coming out of your mouth ones that Jesus would say?
God bless and feel free to leave comments for discussion.

Who am I?
Some people would call me shy, some people would call me funny, some people could refer to me as a wife, mother, sister, daughter, or friend, but I would rather be called a Jesus Freak. That's right! A JESUS FREAK! I love my Savior and that is who this blog is for. I feel God has encouraged me to start a blog for others to follow our walk in the ministry. I am talking about my husband Zack and our two sons, Tucker and Noah. We currently serve at Second Baptist Church in Great Falls, SC where my husband is the pastor. We long to reach people through Christ's love and see many souls SAVED! My goal is to write a blog every few days keeping you posted about our family and share some thoughts on God's word. May God continue to bless each of you and please pray for our family's daily walk in the ministry.
Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul.
1 Peter 2:11
