Anyhow, He has been convicting me of complaining about that. I speak so highly of the Proverbs 31 woman and yet when I am following her example ("She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family...) I complain and want sympathy! Yikes! Needless to say, I no longer complain but I truly do find joy in going and preparing for my family. The other part is couponing! Yes, I have joined those 'crazy' ladies! I said I wouldn't but after rereading Proverbs 31 I think that this is a biblical thing that as a godly wife/mother I should do. And the weird thing is, I enjoy it! I find myself getting so excited when I leave a store and have saved more than I spent! It's addicting because I'm always trying to beat my savings each week!Anyhow, say all that to say, I challenge you as a woman of God to reread Proverbs 31 and to ask Him what it is He'd like to show you about your life these days! Beware that change might be ahead!
Great... I love this challenge, I read that chapter a few times already this morning and have really been convicted of the whole waking up early thing too. I really value the sleep that I am able to get, so this will be tough for me, but I know that is the only time of the day I can truly spend with the Lord.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for your couponing adventure, that's what it is!! I wish everyone could catch that bug... and by the way, I am soooo not crazy!
Yay! You did it:). I'm adding you to my list now....
ReplyDeleteAnd couponing...ugh. Gets my brain all jumbled up. Maybe one day I'll join you. And I was just thinking of Proverbs 31 yesterday...hmm.
