Day 17...Quiet Time

Today I'm thankful for quiet time! Today at nap time I was able to spend in the Word. I haven't been able to for several reasons. One because we have been busy with the hubby's grandparents and everything that is going on around here but also because when I was getting down time I was spending it watching Friends. I love Friends and can watch reruns over and over but really that's not where I should be spending my time. I knew this but chose to do it anyway.

Today though I decided that I would do my Bible study from 1 (when naptime started) until 2 when Friends came on. Well then my mom called and we talked for almost the whole hour. I had about 15 minutes left and really felt that I shouldn't stop at 2 but do the full hour that I said I would.

So I got started and you know the Book they were talking about today? Proverbs! Like Proverbs 31 and Proverbs 18:9 "One who is slack in his work is brother to on who destroys"!

OK God I think I get your point! Stop watching Friends and study my Word and do as I direct you! OK it's time to listen!

So this chapter that I was able to study in Created to be His Help Meet by Debi Pearl listed some Traits of a Good Woman that are from Proverbs 31. I'm going to share with you the list that I put together of traits that I want to work towards. (The book goes into great detail about these traits and their Biblical background).

Traits of a Good Woman that I want to embrace
  • trustworthy
  • dependable
  • inspires confidence
  • reliable
  • honest
  • deserving
  • faithful
  • loyal
  • constant in love
  • unmoved
  • industrious
  • hardworking
  • busy
  • diligent
  • patient
  • frugal
  • not wasteful
  • good management
  • self-starter
  • energetic
  • enterprising
  • daring, yet cautious
  • resourceful
  • physically strong
  • hard worker
  • willing to work long hours
  • willing to work boring jobs
  • compassionate
  • merciful
  • generous
  • easily moved to help others
  • prudent
  • competent
  • benevolent
  • confident
  • plans for the future
  • craftsman
  • brings my hubby honor
  • organizes
  • manages
  • strong character
  • discerning
  • thoughtful
  • gentle
  • conscious of responsibilities
  • reliable
  • not idle
  • doesn't focus on beauty
  • fears the LORD
I know it's a long list and will not be accomplished without God's help and I plan to pray for His help daily because I know that He keeps His promises. He promised if I work towards all of these traits and to be the woman he wants me to be then I will be...
  • rare
  • uncommon
  • unusually excellent
  • unique
  • precious
  •  matchless
  • praised by my husband
  • praised by Rex
  • honored
  • appreciated
  • esteemed
  • loved
  • reap what I have sown
  • praiseworthy
  • complimented
  • approved
  • deserving admired
  • applauded
  • worthy
Why would someone not want those promises? I want to be a good woman in God's eyes and I want to be a hard worker because that is what he has called me to be. So no more sitting around and watching Friends. At 2:00 I will be working hard either on the house or studying His word so I have the strength to continue on the path that I want to continue on. If I'm working hard there is no reason I can't have Friends on but I must be busy doing something and only listening to it. You will not find a slacker around here!

The League of Incredible Vegetables: Movie Review

Picture borrowed from  Christian Film Database Another movie review! I was so thrilled when I was walking through Best Buy before Christmas and saw this  DVD sitting on the shelf. If you are a boy mom like myself you know that they love super heroes. I struggle to find age appropriated super hero movies for Monkey to watch. He loves Spiderman, Batman, Iron Man, ect. and he has not seen any of the movies/shows that go along with them. Wait...he did watch The Avengers with Daddy one day while I was out. I haven't seen that one so I can't say what I think of it for a 3 year old. Anyway, I love Veggie Tale movies! I think that they do a good job of teaching lessons to kids in a way that they understand and I love the lessons they teach! This one is great because it is about fear and how if you trust God fear can't freeze you. If you have kids, especially boys this movie is great! It helps them get the superheros they want to watch without the bad guys th...

Y3W: I hate drama!

I really consider myself and my life pretty drama free. I try my best to keep people that seek after drama at a distance because I really just don't feel like dealing with it. I have certain family that automatically causes it but you know they are family and there isn't much you can do about it but set up boundaries to not allow it to affect your daily life. Which we do! I love all my extended family but sometimes, seriously, just grow up, stop acting like the world revolves around you and get over it. You children have their own families now! Anyway! After dealing with more family drama (disclaimer: the person I'm talking about would not be reading this so if your family and you are it's not you that I'm complaining about :) then I get a nasty note from a neighbor who is just plain being rude. And I love how they waited until I left before putting the note of the door. I haven't had a car for almost 3 full months and this week my hubby finally got his motorcy...
