Her Happiness

WHAT IS LOVE MISSIONS

"LOVE GOD with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself."

The Torrans Tablet

I love being a woman.  I love being a mother. I love that right now is a season of happiness in my life.

Not all times of living are happy.  Seasons sometimes are sad, stressful, and scary. Sad situations do make me appreciate days and hopefully months that are relatively drama free.

In Proverbs 31, we see a woman who apparently is experiencing a happy, healthy, peaceful, perfect season and life.  In my mind, I think, how does she do everything so well?  In my heart, I feel like I will never measure up.

But one thing I notice is that she is joyful. I notice she is smiling, energetic, trustworthy, kind, wise and blessed. But I also get the idea that she is old enough to have lived and conquered and struggled and survived.

Not every woman in the Bible is called "The Virtuous Woman".  Each woman had her own story.  You, wonderful woman who is reading this, have a journey written by your GOD WHO loves you.

I love being a daughter of the KING.  I try to love what I am learning in the hopeful times, but also in the hard.  And I pray to be a woman about whom people someday can say "there is something real about her happiness."  SOMEONE real.

Anyway I can.

Because I, also, am not Home yet.
