The Proverbs 31 Woman

I am waiting for the Proverbs 31 woman.

She is an "excellent wife." She is "far more precious than jewels." She "plants a vineyard with the fruit of her hands." She is clothed with strength and dignity. She laughs. She opens her mouth with wisdom. She fears God.

I am waiting for the woman whose heart I can trust in.

I have been waiting for what feels like forever. And I'm convinced that it won't be much longer.

Lately I have been praying specifically for this, which is something that I have never done. I've always prayed for the development of the heart that will necessary to be her husband. I've prayed for the ability to recognize her. I've prayed for strength and perseverance and wisdom and will and purity and courage and redemption and steadfastness.

Now, I eagerly and confidently pray for her coming - and for my swift and decisive pursuit of her when she is revealed.
