#be faithful

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. - Philippians 4:6

[wingsandfeather]

When you choose God first, everything changes for the better. You only need to trust Him and know that whatever happens to you, it's God trying to pull you from a terrible situation, job, family, friend, or partner. It's hard to believe at first, and questions start rising one after another, accompanied by sleepless nights, loss of appetite, low energy, fewer happy moments, and so on.

However, the moment you put EVERYTHING in the hands of your Creator, those feelings change. That's what being faithful means: trusting God with every inch of your soul and body.

I trust your process, God.

I know that I'm never alone and that you always guide me to show me the hidden truth that I couldn't see or believe. I'm forever grateful for your care.

I pray that you always keep me on the right track, always closer to You, and far from those who would mislead me.

Amen

- K

The Virtuous Wife

Guide to Becoming a Proverbs 31 Woman

A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.

We can develop a noble character by following Gods teachings! Let’s dig a little deeper.

Her husband has full confidence in her.

Trust is built over time. Just as we trust fully in the Lord, we also must trust fully in our husbands and vice versa.

This isn’t only about remaining loyal, but also about being emotionally vulnerable in marriage.

She works with eager hands.

Life is a blessing! God does not promise us an easy life, but one in which we can trust in His continual guidance. So, that being said, make the most of your time.

Doing the dishes means we have food to eat. Washing laundry means we’re blessed with clothes to wear. Be grateful for all things!

She gets up while it is dark; she provides food for her family.

I’m not a morning person. Not at all. But God has blessed me with the gift of time and I am learning to value each moment by waking up early to spend time with Him.

Women are beautiful. We have an amazing opportunity to show our love to our families through services like cooking. Just like Jesus!

She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.

Do all things for the Lord! Even mundane chores can be a form of worship and service.

Femininity is not an equivalent to being weak. Rather, she is a strong woman and a provider.

She sees that her trading is profitable.

As much as I love shopping, it’s important to recognize the importance of money management!

She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.

Jesus calls us to humbly serve others. Some ways to do this are to volunteer at a local food pantry, donate to charities, donate old clothes or food, give blood, visit residents at a nursing home, etc!

Don’t forget the key word: humbly. What we do in secret, our Father will reward us for!

Her husband is respected at the city gate.

Marriage is a union of two flesh becoming one. We are representatives of our husbands!

Likewise, it’s essential to choose a husband wisely. A man of God.

She is clothed with strength and dignity, she can laugh at the days to come.

Strength comes from the Lord. Rely on His power and understanding, not your own.

Laughing at the days to come means having complete faith that God will provide. Rejoice always, in the good and bad, for this is the will of the Father!

She speaks with wisdom and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

Let your wisdom and instruction be the words of God through you. Study your Bible everyday, even for just a few minutes, and pray that He will give you understanding.

She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.

Watch over your loved ones and guide them to Christ.

Idleness is a trap! It leaves us feeling guilty and like we’ve wasted our time, whereas being productive makes us happy and feeling accomplished. Please, utilize the precious time God has given you to serve Him.

Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.

This verse is about how your faithfulness and service to God will be a light to others. Let your children see your blessings, attribute them to God, and be praised.

Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

Charm and physical beauty are not qualities that God is looking for, neither is a man of God prioritizing.

Let your beauty be from within. Fear the Lord, or in other words, respect Him and recognize the great works He has done.

Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

All of the above seem like quite a lot to keep in mind, but it’s a journey God will guide us through.

Keep in mind that this is not for nothing, but for the glory of God! Not only will you be praised by your loved ones, but by the Almighty!

Palestine will be free in our lifetime 🇵🇸🍉🕊️ Don't look away, and let's keep supporting Palestine in any way we can.

that scene in tlo where thalia tells percy he can't start feeling sorry for luke bc luke made his choices. and thalia reveals that the reason they couldn't make it to camp in time for all of them to make it to camp was bc luke kept picking fights. and annabeth never saw this as wrong bc luke was her hero. so thalia had to pick up the pieces. and percy thinking both that luke was put in a cruel position and that luke was putting others in a cruel position. and percy is the only character who understood both sides of luke bc annabeth sees only the best of him and thalia sees only the worst. and that's why percy is the prophecy kid and the one who gives luke the knife. bc annabeth had spent the entire series essentially giving luke the knife when he didn't deserve it. and thalia was never going to give luke the knife. but percy is the only one who can see exactly when luke deserves the knife.

Quite possibly the funniest shit I have ever seen in my life

[mysteriouslyjollyheart]

I don't have the proper words

To even begin to convey

Just how very much

The Lord means to me today.

All through the years

Faithfully, He has stayed.

Through rebellion and sin

And the times that I strayed.

He has always stayed faithful

His love always remains.

With my repentance

He quickly forgave.

He said His love is forever

That fact will never change.

When it's impossible

He can always make a way.

He consoles and comforts

Encourages me to behave.

He asks me to listen

His commands to obey.

To live like I should and

From all sin to abstain.

Perfection and worthiness

Can not be obtained.

Good works alone

Won't cause me to gain.

Right is still right, wrong is still wrong

That is still pretty plain.

Intolerance for injustice

Hatetred of evil

Now runs through my veins.

For even an appearance of evil

I am to refrain.

I hate to see others hurt

Suffering in shame.

Often giving God all of the blame.

He is a good God

He doesn't cause sickness or trouble

He does not inflict pain.

For each and every soul

He longs to gain.

That's the whole reason we're here

Fighting the good fight of faith.

To save every last one

That's exactly why Jesus came.

Love, Amy

"Do not forget, and always think in your heart, in your memory, in your soul, that you have been offered and given to Marie (...) Do not be ungrateful and forgetful, because she does not reject the prayer made to her, but she welcomes her with kindness. So be faithful, (…) run generously with this desire of Mary."

~ St. Catherine of Siena, Letter 92 of St Catherine to Fr Robert of Naples
