This month we're examining the heart posture a virtuous woman brings to her work. A Proverbs 31 woman approaches her tasks with a willing heart, geared to service, and faithful hands that those around her can trust in. She is honorable, diligent, humble, and effective. She makes wise investments on behalf of her family that cultivate good fruit. We will look at the investments we can make to cultivate good fruit in our lives, and end with a self-assessment on how we can impro

Paul tells us it is best to remain unmarried, but it is important to understand the context in which he speaks. In this post, we dive into 1 Corinthians and learn the importance of remaining completely devoted to the Lord both in singleness and in marriage.

The first, Wilderness: The Place Between Bondage and Promise, I've been working on quietly behind-the-scenes. This is a full-length Christian non-fiction book I want to keep close to my heart until it is finished. The second, is Project 31: A Year of Becoming A Proverbs 31 Woman .
