WOW! An entire month has gone by and not a single posting. That's because I haven't been taking "time out" like I should've. Back in January, me and a couple of friends took a trip out of town and it was SO needed. I rested, but not completely. So in a few weeks, I plan to take another trip, but this one is for the soul purpose of resting my mind and body. There are many times when we take a day off and just lay around, but guess what??? Our minds are still running!
If you're anything like me, you feel guilty when you sit and do absolutely nothing. BUT - there is nothing wrong with that. We have to stop every now and then or we'll go so fast that we pass life by (and not life passing us by).
So, stop - close your eyes - take a deep breath...Now just relax...

Are You a Virtuous Woman?
When I hear about the Proverbs 31 woman, it often makes me reflect on my traits and characteristics. The other day I came across an article that I thought was very good and brought the Proverbs 31 woman alive in the 21st century. Here is what is said:
How awesome is this?!?!?!
"What we find is a strong, dignified, multitalented, caring woman who is an individual in her own right. This woman has money to invest, servants to look after and real estate to manage. She is her husband’s partner, and she is completely trusted with the responsibility for their lands, property and goods.
She has the business skills to buy and sell in the market, along with the heartfelt sensitivity and compassion to care for and fulfill the needs of people who are less fortunate. Cheerfully and energetically she tackles the challenges each day brings. Her husband and children love and respect her for her kind, generous and caring nature.
But with all her responsibilities, first and foremost, she looks to God. Her primary concern is God’s will in her life. She is a woman after God’s own heart. Let’s examine the characteristics of this remarkable woman — a role model for Christian women today."
