Becoming a Proverbs 31 Woman by Shalene

Who can find a virtuous wife?
For her worth is far above rubies. The heart of her husband safely trusts her; So he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days of her life. Proverbs 31:10-12 NKJV

I am praying each day that I become more and more like the woman described in Proverbs 31. A virtuous wife, caring for her husband and children and fearing the Lord. I fear perhaps I am failing. I spend 3-4 hours each day reading the words of my friends and fellow bloggers, and writing my own posts; and I find that I am not spending an equal amount of time with my family. Therefore, I am praying that the Lord give me guidance as to how I can continue to witness and minister to those that read this blog, and yet still place my God and my family first.

Though the words of this blog, in one way serve the Lord, by not placing my family in it's correct priority, I am not serving Him as I should. Therefore, I ask for your prayers, my friends, that I can find the path the God wills for me. Pray too, that that path will still include this blog, if that be His will.

I am heart sick by the thought of not writing anymore, as I truly enjoy it, and I truly enjoy reading all the like-minded believers in the midst, but should that be His will, I will go that route. Perhaps this is the reason for my "writer's block" I've been experiencing the last few days. I cannot seem to find anything to write about, though I spend much time in the Word as well. I've also prayed that the Lord would give me the words to write. I think He has been answering me all along.

Though this post is not happy, I ask you to pray for me, and for the Lord to show me what I must do. I pray for the peace in my husband's heart and for my children to know that they are in their proper position in my life. I pray for you, that even without me to add my words to those out there, that you would still find peace in the Lord through the others. I am only one person anyway. Do I really do any good? I am crying now, at even the thought, but I must be sure that this "hobby" of mine has not become an idol to me. That my words have not become false and hollow. I leave you with that for now. Please pray for me, as I will be for you.

There is no MORE to this post.
