Making Your Home Sing Monday

Have you stopped by MomstheWord today??

Making your home sing Mondays

I am a work-in-progress when it comes to being a Proverbs 31 wife and mother. That is to say, it takes a lot of work, and there hasn't been much progress. :) I am starting a series of 'Making Your Home Sing Mondays' based on this "virtuous woman... for her price is far above rubies." (Proverbs 31:10 KJV)

I know that God loves me unconditionally, and that though I have not in any way deserved it, I have been given the gift of His forgiveness. That alone is treasure enough and the only real gift anyone needs. And though I know that becoming this woman won't make Him love me more, knowing that it would enable me to show love more abundantly to my family is also a gift.

For this week, I'll just start by saying that I am committing to studying the ways of this woman, and making my heart more malleable that I could become more like her. This will be a personal study, but the fruits of it will certainly be reaped by my husband, my son, and my home. By seeking God's wisdom and example for me in His Word, I will be a better wife, mother, and homemaker.

  1. I look forward to reading your posts. I love the Proverbs 31 woman and enjoy reading and studying about her.

    Who wouldn't want to be a blessing to their husband and their children? I love your definition of progress, lol!

    When I was a young mom I felt like such a failure because I did not measure up. But it was the Lord showing me that He needed to do the work, and I needed to trust Him to do it instead of trying to make it happen in my own strength.

    Thank you for joining us and can't wait for next Monday!
