Striving for that Proverbs 31 Thang!

   
     I read about the women in Proverbs 31 and think, "Can I ever get even HALF way there?" I WANT to......I REALLY want to. I want to be a blessing, to my husband, my children, my friends, my community, even the whole world! I know that's a pretty big dream, but it's the dream the Lord's given me. I study this lady and try to see her dreams, try to think about the songs she must have sang to the Lord in the night as she sewed or baked or just interceded for her family. Was she happy all the time? Did she see her dreams come true? Were her prayers answered in her life time?
     Sounds like she pressed on and into the Father's heart daily. I want to be THAT women. The one that doesn't grow weary as the days, weeks, months or longer pass with no HUGE fruit to show for her work in heaven. I want to be faithful to what the Lord's placing in me and complete the work he has set before me.
       I am back at pressing into the Lord's heart about this shop. It's all a bit overwhelming to me, so my reaction seems to be to back away from this More Than Rubies dream and try to forget about it. Wrong? Yes.  Easy?  NO! The Lord keeps placing people in my life that encourage me to go for it!
    Just today I was having a chat with a new friend and found out she's a BUSINESS MAJOR! She's like, "I think I can help you with that." What the heck???!!!! AWESOME!
     Just a little encouragement to keep pressing in. Don't give up. His dreams are WORTH all the time and tears you put into them.

I AM worth far more then rubies. And, so are you!
