A Woman with many hats...

      As a wife, mom, teacher, counselor, community leader, and missionary, I have many hats to wear! At times, it is difficult trying to keep a balance. There are times, when I just need to take time to be with God.

     It is so good to remember that regardless of what is going on in my life, that God always accepts me for who I am, even when I have been falling apart, so broken, weak, and just needed God to wrap His arms of love around me and reassure me that I am a daughter of the King. 

      Have you ever been in a situation in which you felt as though you were only loved and accepted by what you attributed or the hat you wore?

What caused you to feel this way?

      The Proverbs 31 woman is an example for us to follow, yet it is not a requirement for God to love us.  He gives salvation freely and loves us unconditionally. We can learn much from the example of the Proverbs 31 woman and become spiritually mature. 

      In this list of character traits below, we can learn how this Proverbs 31 woman used her strengths and her abilities to provide for others around her, in which God had given her influence:
