Daughter, Wife, Mother, Woman.....
As I stood kneading my soon to be braided "challah" bread, I could see the swishing of my skirt below and the soft movement of my hair sway during each effort to knead my dough. I thought to myself, "How lovely I feel".... working with my hands (covered in flour) to provide for my family with what my Husband has given me, what Yahweh has provided! While listening to my son's giggle and run around in the other room and my sweet daughter sleeping near by on her pink seat. I felt like a woman, I real woman of Yahweh. A daughter wanting to bring Honor to my Heavenly Father by being that that he has called her to be! I am thankful for moments like this, it reminds me I am getting somewhere. I am succeeding on this path for Set-Apartness. One step at a time. I love the feeling of being a virtuous woman and a praise to my Husband and children. I desire to be one that brings Honor..... as a Daughter, Wife, Mother and as a Woman.
Pro 31:10 Who does find a capable wife? For she is worth far more than rubies.
Pro 31:11 The heart of her husband shall trust her, And he has no lack of gain.
Pro 31:12 She shall do him good, and not evil, All the days of her life.
Pro 31:13 She shall seek wool and flax, And with delight she works with her hands.
Pro 31:14 She shall be as the ships of Tarshish, She brings in her food from afar.
Pro 31:15 She also rises while it is still night, And provides food for her household, And a portion for her girls.
Pro 31:16 She shall consider a field and buy it; From her profits she shall plant a vineyard.
Pro 31:17 She shall gird herself with strength, And strengthen her arms.
Pro 31:18 She shall taste when her gain is good; Her lamp does not go out by night.
Pro 31:19 She shall stretch out her hands to the distaff, And her hand shall hold the spindle.
Pro 31:20 She shall extend her hand to the poor, And she shall reach out her hands to the needy.
Pro 31:21 She is not afraid of snow for her household, For all her household is dressed in scarlet.
Pro 31:22 She shall make tapestry for herself; She is dressed in fine linen and purple.
Pro 31:23 Her husband is known in the gates, When he sits among the elders of the land.
Pro 31:24 She shall make fine linen and sell them, And shall give girdles for the merchants.
Pro 31:25 Strength and splendour are her garments, And she rejoices in time to come.
Pro 31:26 She shall open her mouth with wisdom, And on her tongue is the Torah of kindness.
Pro 31:27 She watches over the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness.
Pro 31:28 Her children shall rise up and call her blessed; Her husband too, and he praises her:
Pro 31:29 “Many daughters have done nobly, But you have risen over them all.”
Pro 31:30 Loveliness is deceptive And prettiness is vain, A woman who fears יהוה is to be praised.
Pro 31:31 Give her of the fruit of her hands, And let her works praise her in the gates.

May all you lovely women of Yahweh be blessed for your love and provision to "Keep" your Home!

Sady, that is a beautiful post. Sometimes it is so easy to miss realizing the blessing in doing what He has created us to do. I often have to remind myself that I am doing the works I was created for and that I haven't missed His purpose in me(because I always think I am not doing enough). What a lovely picture you describe of a woman in His service. Thank you Sady!
