Psalms 139:7-10 says, "Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me."
I’m doing this for my friend June. It is my homework; name 10 positive things about me. They don’t necessarily need to be true to my life right now but the ideal of how I want my life to be…Proverbs 31:10 – 30 “An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life. She seeks wool and flax, and works like the ships of the merchant; she brings her food from afar. She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household and portions for her maidens. She considers a field and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard. She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong. She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night. She puts her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle. She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household are clothed in scarlet. She makes bed coverings for herself; her clothing is fine linen and purple. Her husband is known in the gates when he sits among the elders of the land. She makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers sashes to the merchant. Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: ‘Many women have done excellently but you have surpassed them all.’ Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Love her, hate her – my goal is to BE her. It may take an entire lifetime! Anyway, back to my homework. I am to speak these things into my life.
1. I spend each day beginning with a personal quiet time devoted to the LORD
2. I spend my time wisely
3. I look after and maintain the well being of my home
4. I look for creative and fun ways to educate my children
5. I maintain the harmony of my surroundings
6. I am well grounded in the scriptures
7. Others look to me for guidance and direction
8. I am wise and have discernment
9. I am generous
10. Strength and dignity are my clothing
