Being at Home...

Being at home is not always easy. Maybe if you are alone... but then again, if you are like me, you'd go crazy.
Tuesday, I was reading God's word in Proverbs 9 and boy did He ever feed me a buffet. I thought I'd share it with you... earlier this week mind you but now I finally have a bit of time.

If you want your household to go forward, to grow:

Vs. 1 says, that "wisdom hath builded her house"

• build it up, encourage the people you are with
  
• use the wisdom God gave you
• do right ALL the time

Vs. 2 says, "She hath killed her beasts"

• It requires effort to bring change

"She hath mingled her wine"

• requires attention and organisation

"She hath also furnished her table"

• have fun, be creative and think of others (as she "furnished" her table, she thinks of those who will be there)

Vs. 3 says, "She hath sent forth her maidens"

• ask for help; delegate the responsibilities

"She crieth upon the highest places of the city"

• watch the movie "Sound of Music" LOL just kidding...
• don't hold back on going the distance to make sure you communicate with people.

Vs. 7-9

• don't focus on those who are not willing to change, focus on those who want to grow and walk with the Lord.

It is a vital part of a mother and wife's ministry to help our household grow and draw closer to God. It's hard but so rewarding. I am not always victorious but the Lord is Good and He is Merciful. Life is so much more fulfilling and purposeful in following Christ.
