I Want to Be a Proverbs 31 Woman
Seeds of Faith

I want to be a Proverbs 31 Woman. I want to be a "woman of worth," where “far beyond jewels” is my value. I want to strive to be a better individual, day in and day out. I want to be considered unique, one-of-a-kind, and surely not easy.

I want to be a Proverbs 31 Woman. I want to be someone whose judgment can be trusted. I want to be independent and aspiring. I want to reach for the stars, all the while being loyal to those around me. I want to stay away from hurting others, even those I barely know. I want to benefit them completely before I try to benefit myself. I want to bring everyone “profit, not loss, all the days of [my] life.”

I want to be a Proverbs 31 woman. I want to be a provider for my future family someday. Moreover, I want to humble myself before them. I want to do everything in my power to make things satisfying for their lives. I want to be generous and kind, even to those outside my family. I want to be clothed in strength, both physically and mentally. I want to be strong when my faith is tested; I want to be a rock for those who look up to me.

I want to be a Proverbs 31 woman. I want to give big-heartedly and with everything in me. I want to be an open ear, a comforter, and a loyal friend. I desire to be generous above all. I want to “reach out [my] hands to the poor and extend my [arm] to the needy.” I want to give until there is nothing left in me, knowing that God will provide whatever is needed in return. I want to be giving and caring, but not just on the days where it is easy. I want to go outside my comfort zone and sit with a stranger. I want to see others suffering and not pity them, but understand and empathize with them. I want to be compassionate.

I want to be a Proverbs 31 woman. I want my future husband to be someone respected and highly esteemed by everyone he meets. I want him to be “prominent at the city gates as he sits with elders of the land.” I want to be confident in who I am and my God. I want to be “clothed in strength and dignity and laugh at the days to come.” I want to be worry-free, but not careless. I want to have complete trust in my God, my hero, my provider, my savior, my everything.

I want to be a Proverbs 31 woman. I want to “open my mouth in wisdom” with “kindly instruction on my tongue.” I want to be a woman of advice, not a gossiper. I want to be a woman of forgiveness, not a body full of hate. I want to give good guidance and counsel to my future children. I want to be patient with them. I want to be thoughtful, and I want to be admired. I want my future children to “rise up and call [me] blessed” as well as my future husband to respect me. I want to be someone worth praising and approving, but humble enough to know my actions come from my God.

I want to be a Proverbs 31 woman. I want know that “charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting.” I want to fix my actions before I fix my makeup. I want to fix my attitude before I fix my hair. I want to know that my true worth lies within, not in the shape of my body or the clothes in my closet. I want to realize that a woman “who fears the Lord is to be praised.”

I want to be a Proverbs 31 woman. “Many are the women of proven worth, but you have excelled them all.” I want to be that woman. Sometimes she seems distant from me and completely unattainable. Don’t let the devil feed your fear. That woman is hidden deep down inside all of us if we choose to let her shine. We are utterly capable of being that woman. I long to be her, not because I am competitive and not because I am jealous, but because I have one Who is above me Who wants more from me. I want to be her because she puts her faith first and her God above all. She is content in who she is and in who her God made her to be. She knows that God is with her, and His plans are better than she could've ever imagined. I want to know Him just like she does.

“Acclaim her for the work of her hands, and let her deeds praise her at the city gates.”

I want to be a Proverbs 31 woman.

Come and strive to be one with me.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
