Proverbs 31 study, Part 3

Vs.17.  She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
Vs.18.  She percieveth that merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
Vs.19.  She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
 Proverbs 31:17-19
     These verses are a little harder for me to understand.  vs.17. says that "she girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms." I believe this means that she wasn't a delicate little flower that just sat there looking pretty, She was strong, and she worked hard, I guess this means that God wants us ladies to strengthen our arms, stay fit, so that we can take care of ourselves, if we need to:)  vs.18.  It says that "she perceiveth that merchandise is good, her candle goeth not our by night."  She knew how to shop, she didn't necessarily use as little money as possible, but she bought good things, that would last a long time, saving money in the long run, this is the second time using money wisely is mentioned, we would all do good to listen:)  "her candle goeth not out by night." she doesn't stop working just cause everyone else is winding down for the night.  She keeps working all the way up to the time she goes to bed, making sure her house stays in order, ready for the next day.  She works constantly.

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
