Purpose of My Blog
Hello, everyone! My name is Shelby. I am 25 years old. I recieved Christ as my Savior in June of 1998, but still find myself constantly having to reevaluate my life and ask myself if I am living for myself or for my God? Am I applying Philippians 1:21 to my life, which states "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain."? I so desire to be a woman of God, and to make it second nature (my first nature was a sinful human, but Christ died on the cross for me to cover my sins.) Also, to make my second nature prominent over my old nature. I also desire to be a godly wife to my wonderful husband, Adam, who is a messenger for God as the pastor a church. We have been married for a little over a year now, and I still have MUCH to learn. I wish to be a godly example to the women in the church. I desire Proverbs 31:28 to be true of me. It says,"Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her." I wish this not becasue I want to be praised or to be calle blessed, but so that I can know I'm doing things God's way instead of my own, and know that Christ is showing through my life. Proverbs 31:10 says, "Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies." This is where I draw my inspiration from. I am seeking to find the virtuous woman within me, and hope to inspire some other women to do the same. I hope to fill this blog with all kinds of things such as devotionals on scriptures of how a woman of God should be, pictures of blessings in my life, Christian humor, money saving tidbits I find, ways of implimenting Christianity into everyday life, children advice (although I'm not a mother, the scriptures tell me much of how to be, and I do work with children a lot and research about them often), and whatever else I think will help find the virtue of the virtuous woman. I hope you all enjoy reading this blog. Let me know if you have any good advice to share with others as well! May God help me (He knows I need Him to do ANYTHING) and whoever else decides to seek virtue along with me.
