31 Days of Virtue: Day 1

  I love being a wife! I love everything about it! I like the cleaning, the cooking, the washing clothes and dishes, and I love my husband! Yes, we do have rough times like any other marriage, but we always get through them. Because one of my desires is to be the wife God wants me to be, I have decided to study more deeply what that means - to be the wife God wants me to be. And what that means, I believe, is to be the woman God wants me to be - to be a woman like the woman of Proverbs 31.

  The woman of Proverbs 31 is a virtuous woman. According to dictionary.com, the definition of virtue is moral excellence; goodness; righteousness. These characteristics are what I will be studying more about over the next 31 days. These characteristics are what I am striving for in my own life. Here are just a few things I will be writing about for the next month:
- Being a helper (Genesis 2:18)
- Being sensible (Proverbs 19:14)
- Fear the LORD (Proverbs 31:30)
- Be submissive (Ephesians 5:22)
- Be reverent (Titus 2:3)
- Be pure (Titus 2:5)

  I hope you will join me on this journey of discovering what God has called us to be as women and wives. It is sure to be eye-opening! To find out what other bloggers will be writing about for the month of October, visit my 31 Days page. You can visit each of their sites from there.

  Enjoy!

A Virtuous Woman: 31 Days Project

Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. Proverbs 31:10


Who is a virtuous woman? A virtuous woman is someone who is good, righteous, worthy, faithful, honorable, moral, upright, and honest.


I would like to explore the Word of God for 31 days beginning October 1st and find this virtuous woman. I want to be this virtuous woman, but not for myself. I want to be this virtuous woman to glorify my God. I want to be this virtuous woman as a gift to my husband. I love being a wife. One of my deepest desires is to be the wife God wants me to be for my husband. But how can I know what kind of wife that is, how can I know who a virtuous woman is and what her characteristics comprise of unless I study and search for her?


I hope you will join me on this search. Married or not, all women can benefit from knowing who a virtuous woman is and taking her characteristics as our own. If you would like to place this badge on your blog or website to help spread the word, you are more than welcome to it!
