Proverbs 31 study, Part 2

Vs.14.  She is like the merchants ship; she bringeth food from afar.
Vs.15.  She riseth while it is yet night and giveth meat to her household, even a portion to her maidens.
Vs.16.  She considereth a field and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
 Proverbs 31:14-16

   I read here, that she only gets the best for her family, even if she has to go far off to find it. And she is a cook, she rises early to probably prepare food for the men before they leave for work for the day. And she takes care of her servants.  I also notice that she is wise with her money. she doesn't just go around buying anything that she likes, she "considereth a field and buyeth it."  She thinks out a purchase, and weighs her options, so that she gets the best deal.  and... one of my least favorite, she is a gardener. I guess I have always disliked gardening, I have always hated bugs, and there tend to be bugs in a garden:) but I guess God intended us to eat the fruit of this land, otherwise He wouldn't of provided it.  I will keep praying, always praying, that God would help me be a Proverbs 31 lady.

His robes for mine, such anguish none can know. Christ, God's beloved, condemned as though His foe. He, as though I, accursed and left alone; I, as though He, embraced and welcomed home I cling to Christ, and marvel at the cost. Jesus forsaken, God estranged from God. Bought by such love, my life is not my own. My praise - my all, shall be for Christ alone.                                                  "God, I will do whatever You want, if . . . " Be careful of the conditional prayer that we as Christians (especially myself so often) make when feeling led by God to do something. He has already given His all - why do we still question whether or not we want to obey Him fully without reserve?

                         Thank you so much for your prayers and generous donation to my mission trip to Kenya, Africa.   Your prayers, and support  helped greatly.   God blessed, and worked greatly on my trip!  It was so amazing to see how God provided for my trip through all my friends and family.  I had an amazing summer in Kenya!  I spent a week in Wisconsin, training with my team.  Our training consisted of  team building, evangelistic training, and skill group training.  The skill group I was put in was puppets.  I loved being in puppets!  It was so much fun learning to dance and play.   While in Kenya, our ministry was in the slums of Nairobi.   We visited several childrens schools and orphanages.  We performed our puppet show for them, sang, played games, and danced.  We also made them dinner, an ethnic meal called “palau”, made up of rice, meat, and various seasonings.   It was a blessing getting to serve t
