My faith is VERY crucial to me and the most important thing in my life. When I make it the top priority, it makes me a better wife, mother, friend, sister, aunt, etc. It helps all the hats I wear stay rightly aligned. On an earthly basis, my family is the most important thing in my life and when I keep my faith and daily efforts to be more like Jesus at the top also, it improves everything else :)
PROVERBS 31:10-31 (New Living Translation):
“Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is more precious than rubies. Her husband can trust her, and she will
greatly enrich his life. She brings him
good, not harm, all the days of her life.
She finds wool and flax and busily spins it. She is like a merchant’s ship, bringing her
food from afar. She gets up before dawn
to prepare breakfast for her household and plan the day’s work for her servant
girls.
She goes to inspect a field and buys it; with her earnings
she plants a vineyard. She is energetic
and strong, a hard worker. She makes
sure her dealings are profitable; her lamp burns late into the night. Her hands are busy spinning thread, her fingers
twisting fiber.
She extends a helping hand to the poor and opens her arms to
the needy. She has no fear of winter for
her household, for everyone has warm clothes.
She makes her own bedspreads. She
dresses in fine linen and purple gowns.
Her husband is well known at the city gates, where he sits
with the other civic leaders. She makes
belted linen garments and sashes to sell to the merchants. She is clothed with strength and dignity, and
she laughs without fear of the future.
When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with
kindness.
She carefully watches
everything in her household and suffers nothing from laziness. Her children stand and bless her. Her husband praises her: “There are many virtuous and capable women in
the world, but you surpass them all!”
Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman
who fears the LORD will be greatly praised.
Reward her for all she has done.
Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.”
-Proverbs 31: 10-31 (New Living Translation)
