You Know Her?

Hey guys, how have you been? Today, I'm going to tell you about my role model. I love this woman. But then, that probably goes without saying. I mean, she IS my role model. If you knew her you would love her too. Everyone who knows her does. She is such an inspiration. I do not really know anyone like her. She is in a league of her own. Oh! I just want to be like her.

I should tell you her name and how to meet her. Yeah, you could actually meet her. Isn't that great? A role model you could actually meet. Her name....drum rolls please.....her name is.....err.....ah, I don't know her name o. But I'd tell you what I call her - The Proverbs 31 Woman. Ehen! Now you get the gist? You know her? You don't? If you don't know her....well, you now know where to find her. Yes. In Proverbs 31, from verse 10 down.

For the lazy...sorry....busy ones here, I have decided to copy and paste her story from the New Living Translation of YouVersion Bible here. Read, be inspired, and emulate, Ladies.

Here......
10 Who can find a virtuous and capable wife?
She is more precious than rubies. 11 Her husband can trust her,
and she will greatly enrich his life. 12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life. 13 She finds wool and flax
and busily spins it. 14 She is like a merchant’s ship,
bringing her food from afar. 15 She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household
and plan the day’s work for her servant girls. 16 She goes to inspect a field and buys it;
with her earnings she plants a vineyard. 17 She is energetic and strong,
a hard worker. 18 She makes sure her dealings are profitable;
her lamp burns late into the night. 19 Her hands are busy spinning thread,
her fingers twisting fiber. 20 She extends a helping hand to the poor
and opens her arms to the needy. 21 She has no fear of winter for her household,
for everyone has warm clothes. 22 She makes her own bedspreads.
She dresses in fine linen and purple gowns. 23 Her husband is well known at the city gates,
where he sits with the other civic leaders. 24 She makes belted linen garments
and sashes to sell to the merchants. 25 She is clothed with strength and dignity,
and she laughs without fear of the future. 26 When she speaks, her words are wise,
and she gives instructions with kindness. 27 She carefully watches everything in her household
and suffers nothing from laziness. 28 Her children stand and bless her.
Her husband praises her: 29 “There are many virtuous and capable women in the world,
but you surpass them all!” 30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last;
but a woman who fears the LORD will be greatly praised. 31 Reward her for all she has done.
Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.

Ciao.....
