Aspire To Be Proverbs 31 Women!

I posted this on 7/8 this year and have since been thinking in my heart, if God would give me/us another chance to do it right, could it be Proverbs 31 women?! Yeah, deep inside, I have this aspiration to be one! God helped me get started by aspiring to be a good wife, a good mom - created to be "his" HELP-MEET, something I never aspire to be (not from that perspective for sure!), though I would tell myself, as long as I did this, as long as I did that - but these were measures and building blocks set by mere human mixed with worldly values.... Lord Jesus would never put us to walk through waters we cannot cross - and I believe the HELP-MEET session was the preliminary course, and soon to move on to another higher level (deeper waters) - before this, its almost impossible because of the working thing - same time helper (financially) too and learning to submit, learning to appeal, but most of all, Jesus is helping shape our marriage is the most miraculous ways! Now I see new signs and new hope, that we may be uprooted from the current conditions and thereby paving a way, removing barriers so God can help me be that person God wants me to be (or women for that matter!).

Thank you Lord for giving me hope that I can be the women you intended me to be! No matter how off-course I may be, you do not count all my mistakes but instead focus on building me up towards the right course. Thank you Lord for your grace!
