I love Proverbs and I like to read one a day since it has one for every day of the month so why not make it a habit and add on to my daily devotional time. It doesn't hurt to ask God for wisdom and he will give it to all those that ask Him and I learn all the time from his word which is Living Water! He is an awesome daddy! I wanted to share my insight that I have received when I was reading Proverb 31.

Proverb 31:10-31 is about a woman who has the qualities God esteem us to have. But as I read and meditate on it over a couple of weeks when I knew I had to write about it as I was going to do this for this Hop...Verses 25-26 spoke to me....and I been writing in my journal and wanted to share with you what I have learned for myself and even maybe for you to consider.

25 She is clothed with strength and dignity, she can laugh at the days to come. 26 She speaks with wisdom and faithful instructions is on her tongue.

These words had my heart stuck on them and I thought okay Lord what do you want me to get from them...then I meditated for days thinking I am in trouble if I don't get it soon...lol...but I know God has his timing and I have to wait on him and not on my own understanding....then it came almost a week later after I have asked...he is reminding although I am going through a difficult time that I have inner strength to get through it because of him I can...he carries me beyond the crest and then the days to come I will look back on the experiences that I have had and be able to laugh at them and be happy and have dignity that I have made it through and share my joy with others as well as be able to help others because of it. Trials can't be avoided but we have the tools and the book to get through them with God on our side ever step of the way. Then 26 by my difficulties I can share wisdom from my trials what I have learned and be a light to others.

I try to attain the qualities that God wants us to have as a woman but it is difficult to be a "perfect" woman but I can still do my best as I can and eventually I will be what God wants although I am already in his eyes...and so are you beloved. Don't forget he wants to transform us into amazing women we are becoming in his eyes...isn't that awesome that He loves us in spite of our imperfections but WE ARE AMAZING IN HIS EYES NOW!!!! that is such a great joy to me because I can still mess up and I have messed up but I am being loved anyways!! woohooo that makes his grace wonderful that I don't have to work hard because He is doing it in me as he transforms me and you!! :) So continue to meditate on his words as He wants the best for you and as he transforms you to change and be the woman you dreamed to be and as He thinks you are now. Be blessed! and remember him in tough situations that he is refining you and getting you through the fires and making you an AMAZING woman! :)

Thanks for letting me share my story and now you can look at my project and What I decided to make was a journal for several ladies that are fabulous to me and I know to God too...I wanted it to be a "Hip Happy Upbeat" look for my amazing friends! and maybe you know someone you can make it for....



Here is the Recipe:
8 1/2 x 11 white cardstock paper (scored at 5 1/4 and 5 3/4)
Printed paper cut to size (mine is from a long time ago in one of those Walmart packs)
and cut a strip of another paper from the same pack for some fake ribbon look
then I stamped with Versa Mark green for the stamps sayings and on Orange cardstock
then popped with dots onto green cardstock for uplift to give it dimension.

Easy peasy...enjoy and remember you are a fabulous woman!!! :) and God loves you and so do I!!

I forgot to mention....yeppers I do have some blog candy but not sure what to give yet so it has to be a surprise (squeals) so don't forget to leave your email addy so I can get a hold of you!! :)
