So I finally decided to start a blog. I have been thinking about it for a while now, and I am obsessed with keeping up with other blogs on my Google Reader, so I thought I should give it a shot. This will be a place for me to share about everything that is going on in our lives, and sort-of a journal for me to have somewhere to put my thoughts as I strive to become a "Proverbs 31 woman."
The name for this blog comes from Proverbs 31(duh), specifically verses 10-31, in which the ideal woman, wife, mother (at least in my opinion), is described. I have always really loved this chapter of the Bible as I have become a wife and, more recently, a future momma. These verses describe a woman who is godly, of outstanding character, a loving wife, and a nurturing mother. A lot of the time, though, a housewife is thought of someone who is mild-mannered and soft-spoken, and possibly somewhat of a "push-over." This is not the Proverbs 31 woman! While she is humble and caring, she is also intelligent, hardworking, tough, and a clever entrepreneur. God calls us as women to care for our families and our homes and to be servants to our husbands and others, but He does not call us to be cowards or to live fruitless lives. I think this is the reason I am so drawn to the Proverbs 31 woman, and want to strive to be like her. Everyone who knows me knows that I am, for the most part, soft-spoken and unassuming, but I want to be more. I want to be a humble servant, but I also want to be a bold follower of Christ and a strong example for my family.
All of this is just to give you an idea of where I am coming from for this blog. I plan to write about all things going on in our lives-love, marriage, pregnancy, new baby, home, projects-everything! Also, I am possibly, hopefully, definitely? planning an starting some new "adventures" that will be documented here.
Thank you so much for reading, and check back often for updates!
