The Proverbs 31 Project

Many of you already know how much I enjoy the Proverbs. I feel as thought they have much practical advice to offer, especially in today's day and age when it is so easy to get off track. In fact, my "life verse" for many years has been Proverbs 3:5-6

^"5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart

   and lean not on your own understanding;

⁶ in all your ways submit to him,

   and he will make your paths straight."

As I have grown older I have found out just how true those words are. Submitting to God takes every ounce of energy a person can muster along with some help from the Holy Spirit. However, nothing is more fulfilling. There is a divine peace that comes when we walk with the Lord and Him alone.

SO this year I decided to set monthly goals to help me submit to His will for my life. To help me do this I have turned to the Proverbs 31 description of what a godly woman should be. From that description I have taken 12 attributes (one for each month) and have written them on my desktop calender. I will spend each day praying for that month's attribute to become evident in my life and set mini-goals for the week that help me put them into action. Here are the 12 attributes:

A Godly Woman:

1. Is trustworthy/ reliable
2. Works to meet the needs of others
3. Is proactive
4. Has a positive attitude
5. Is discerning
6. Is a good provider
7. Is a hard worker
8. Has dignity
9. Trusts God's will
10. Is confident
11. Is wise
12. Is a mentor

I have added this as a new section to my blog and will post my updates and goals for each month! Be on the lookout for January's coming soon :)
