I created this blog to share my life as a housewife and to drive me be creative in the use of my time. I don't have a regular job and no children yet so I usually have lots of free time. It's nice not to be stressed by a regular work but sometimes days can get so exhaustingly boring and having hypothyroidism make it even more difficult to deal with. There are times that I don't want to get up in the morning and I easily get depressed, and sometimes I can be oblivious to just about anything. I felt like I'm not myself this past two years and It's hard to explain why I feel like this and I don't like it! I find myself everyday in constant battle with my own self, and it's really hard for me but not only but for my husband as well. And most of all I know this is not honoring to God, how I'm dealing with my suffering shows my lack of faith that God will help me get through it. I let my suffering overcome me rather than lifting it to God and ask him for strength to overcome it. I know I need to act now, I don't want to find myself in a deep pit isolated and miserable. I need to fight this for husband and be a woman that God wants me to be.
Proverbs 31:10-31 is the passage I have read recently and it is an inspiration to be a better me, to use my talents and gifting even more, to learn new things, to do service to others, to invest in people's live, to be strong, happy and content, and to trust God with his plan for my life. And I want to share this new journey with you all.
In this blog you will read stuff about my cooking adventures, my art projects, my ministry as a wife and a teacher, and my thoughts about being woman.
Here is Proverbs 31:10-31, I wonder if there would come a time that I will be described like the woman in this passage, I think it won't be my goal to be this woman but my goal is to glorify my Creator by using his gifts to me for his honor and to do what I do to give him glory.
The Woman Who Fears the Lord
10 An excellent wife who can find?
She is far more precious than jewels.
11 The heart of her husband trusts in her,
and he will have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good, and not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She seeks wool and flax,
and works with willing hands.
14 She is like the ships of the merchant;
she brings her food from afar.
15 She rises while it is yet night
and provides food for her household
and portions for her maidens.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.
17 She dresses herself with strength
and makes her arms strong.
18 She perceives that her merchandise is profitable.
Her lamp does not go out at night.
19 She puts her hands to the distaff,
and her hands hold the spindle.
20 She opens her hand to the poor
and reaches out her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of snow for her household,
for all her household are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes bed coverings for herself;
her clothing is fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates
when he sits among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them;
she delivers sashes to the merchant.
25 Strength and dignity are her clothing,
and she laughs at the time to come.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom,
and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
27 She looks well to the ways of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise up and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many women have done excellently,
but you surpass them all.”
30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands,
and let her works praise her in the gates.
