The peek inside a confident, seemingly happy and stress-free 24 year old Seattle girl. I want to share with you what I have in my heart and head that I can't share with anyone else. Will you be there to listen to my heart beat and stand beside me?
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I have always prided myself from a very tender age to be somewhat of an independent woman. I never wanted my life to revolve around anyone or anything except my self and my own happiness.
And then I grew up.
I love being there for the important people in my life. I love making sure that their world is running smoothly. Knowing that they have a full tummy, no stress, clean clothes, and a clean house makes ME so happy and fulfilled!
I bitch about not getting enough help around the house and I know that it is an oxymoron since I love to provide that. I am not superwoman though. As much as I would love to have my house running perfectly with out a gripe I can’t do that and work and go to school full-time.
One of my biggest dreams is to be able to afford for me to be a stay at home mom and wife. So many people think that means I just want the lazy way out. Its just so not true.
I want to be able to have a place for my husband to come home to where he can forget about the stresses of his day and not be nagged about doing his share with house work. I want a place that fosters creativity in my children. I want TV to be out of my house or hiddin away from the family play areas.
I want to take adventures daily with my family and pray nightly.
I want my house to be a house full of love and grace and praise.
I want music playin in every room and nightly dance parties around the kitchen.
I want my children to know God from the very start of their lives.
I want to do volunteer work and show my family what grace is.
It sounds so ridiculous but there is no reason it can’t be accomplished.
You just have to find the right person that has those same dreams. You just have to have faith that God will allow you to find a way to make it work.
Oh, and you have to be strong enough to let go of the life you live now to go after the life you know is right for you!
10 [a] A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still dark;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her servant girls.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all.”
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 Give her the reward she has earned,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
