Last summer we found and bought our dream home. Long-time readers may remember that we bought our first home in our early 20’s and may also remember how we had set a goal of paying that house off in 10 years. Okay, spoiler alert, we didn’t get our first home paid off in 10 years. We were on track to be paid off in just under 12 years. Last Fall we had 3 years left to pay off our house. […]
Know Your Enemy + Living Proverbs 31 Linkup
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
Most people would say they have an enemy, and maybe more than one. I have to wonder though, do they really know their enemy? And if they really knew their enemy, would they still be enemies? Here’s the interesting thing about enemies and fighting/disagreeing with each other. We all basically want the same things; to be heard and valued, and to make this world a better place. Seriously, that’s it. The problem comes in when we disagree on how to make […]
Be a Blessing – Living Proverbs 31 Linkup

Who are you at home? Who are you in public? Are you one person one place and a different person elsewhere? I know my family definitely sees the real me while others may see a “nicer” side of me. Most of all though I want to be a blessing. I can be a daughter, wife mom, friend neighbor, whoever, but it is important to me that I be a blessing. Lately I’ve been thinking and praying a lot about being […]
If Momma Isn’t Happy, We Have a Problem
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
It’s an old saying “If Momma Isn’t Happy, then Nobody’s Happy”. I find that statement to be pretty true. As the “queens of our homes” we are largely responsible for the attitudes that are found there. How we feel about order and cleanliness will be reflected in the overall appearance of our homes, and how we feel about life will be reflected in our family’s attitude. If we are short-tempered or easily frustrated, our kids will quickly pick up on that and […]
My Prayers for My Son
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
I think every parent feels this way, the overwhelm of realizing that you are raising a child in a far different world than the one you grew up in. I find myself crying out to God daily, inundating him with my prayers for my son. I feel these prayers are important. That they keep me at the feet of God, that the tempter may know who protects my son, and that my son may know the source of mine (and […]
A Woman’s Battle is Against Gossip

Gossip. It could very easily be the woman’s besetting sin. Whereas men may struggle with keeping their thoughts pure, a woman’s battle is against gossip. A Woman’s Battle is Against Gossip I’m a talker. Anyone who knows me well at all, knows this. But more and more I’m realizing that all my talking may not always be good. In fact, many times my talking could be the very opposite of good. It didn’t use to bother me. In fact, for […]
Would I Stand Strong in Persecution?

The recent happenings in the middle east where Christians are fleeing for their lives and dying for the sake of Christ has me doing some pretty deep thinking. I found myself wondering, “would I stand strong in persecution?” Do I have the type of deep seeded faith that would help me stand up for Christ? I had read of a man whom according to the reporter was forced to say “there is no god but Allah” in order to save […]
Praying for Your Future Husband

My marriage post today is a bit different than usual. But I know there are many young ladies who read this site as well and I wanted to talk to them today. Dear single ladies, are you praying for your future husband? Not as in “Lord send me a man!” but praying for his soul. I remember reading Proverbs 31 as a young woman and the 12th verse really stood out to me. She will do him good and not […]
Classes for adults (or anyone) from Jesus
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
You know, you could take all of the self-help classes for adults that the world offers on anger management, and what to do when you are verbally attacked; but they all stem from one original idea. To stop and think before replying. Who gave this idea? Why Jesus, our Christ when he was here on the earth. In the gospel of John there is a scene. The enemies of Jesus, who know how he stands on sin, are determined to […]
Praying for your Husband’s Day

When it comes to praying for your husband’s day, are you with me in feeling like you aren’t praying as you ought for him? Sure, I will often think of him and breath a quick prayer for him. But I rarely pray purposely for him. Just like last Friday when I was talking about having a vision, I want to have a vision towards my husband as well. I’m not talking about making my vision his, or any thing like […]
Praying as Jesus Taught
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
With today being the National Day of Prayer; I thought I would talk a little bit about praying as Jesus taught. A really good quote I once heard goes like this: “We don’t pray to tell God what to do; we pray so God can tell us what to do” <– Tweet that. The quote got me to thinking about prayer and how Jesus prayed, so then I decided to look up just what he told his disciples about prayer. […]
