Welcome to my contribution to Word-Filled Wednesday, hosted this week by Lori at All You Have To Give. Be sure to check out her blog, and the links below it, for more visual inspiration from Scripture. (Glad to be back after a couple weeks off!)
I've been thinking a lot about my "motherly" and "wifely" duties lately - as the homemaker, chauffer (LOL if you only knew how much), maid, cook, homework police, cleaner, lover, etc. At times it feels overwhelming. I REALLY want to be the Proverbs 31 woman. When I read through the passage, I get overwhelmed just about every time. I'm just SO thrilled it ends the way it does!
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Proverbs 31:30
Thanks for stopping by! be sure to stop by Lori's blog for more visual inspiration from scripture.
