Friday thoughts

1 Timothy 2:9-10
"I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety....with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God."

Proverbs 31:20
"She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy."

As women, we need to have a Kingdom-focus instead of a me-focus.*

In everything she (a wise woman) does - from the way she dresses to the way she orders her day - she seeks to delight in Christ and put His beauty and excellence on dispay. Getting love, getting a guy, getting "stuff," or getting her self to the point where she feels "self-actualized" isn't her overriding goal. Enjoying and glorifying God is. She focuses on building His kindgom - not on building her own.*

The Girl-Gone-Wise understands that regardless of whether she is single or married, her overriding purpose is to display Christ and to be busy with the kingdom work that He has for her in that season of her life.*

I'm still here. There must be something God wants me to do today.*
