Welcome

Welcome to Woman Sense from Proverbs!  If you are female of any age, race, or marital status and desire God's best for your life, to grow in wisdom, and to be all that he has destined to be, then this blog is for you.. as well as for me.  As I am typing this I realize that this is a tall order to fill and a little voice in the back of my is head whispering "How are you going to do that?"  The short answer is, I am not.  The purpose of this blog is to allow the principles of the book of Proverbs speak to us directly and guide us through this journey.  I will simply be the facilitator and it is my hope that you will be too as it is not only okay to comment and discuss these principles but also to disagree.  All I ask is that you are respectful in your comments and disagreement.  Now, I already know what some of you are thinking.  As a married woman, you may be rolling your eyes thinking,  "Uh oh.  Another study of the Proverbs 31 woman.  She was that chick who had it all together at home and still had time for gathering food from afar, purchasing real estate, gardening, running a business, creating a stunning wardrobe for herself and her family, and still managed to have her children not only appreciate but bless her.  In addition she also had servants.  I cannot possibly live up to that."  At the same time many of my single sisters have already tuned out (as I often did when I was single), thinking, "Uh oh, another Proverbs 31 woman study.  Not applicable to me since I am single."  So the question begs to be answered, is this a study of the Proverbs 31 woman so many of us love to hate?  Yes and no.  Yes, we will get there eventually, but no not yet.  All I can say is that there is so much more in this 31 chapter book that speaks to us as women in our daily lives than just the last chapter... more than I myself ever imagined.  My hope and prayer is that exploring the book of Proverbs together, chapter by chapter, we will gain valuable insights and applicable wisdom that will add a certain richness and sweetness to our daily lives, even now in the 21st century.   And who knows... by the time we get to Proverbs 31 perhaps this woman will not seem so intimidating and we might even learn to love her and see a little bit more of ourselves in her.
