I am on a new path in life and Church is a new one for me. It not that I haven’t had faith its just that I have let it slip at times. I have always believed in GOD and loved church just going to one that I could communicate with was my problem. I have gone to several churches in my life and they all showed to be a true blessing at that time in my life. I would never say that they never showed me anything or helped in anyway because they have, but lately I have really enjoyed the company of the women at the church I am trying to go to now. I feel like GOD is trying to tell me I need them right now, I need their spiritual guidance right now. Tonight we talked about a Woman of GOD in proverbs 31 :10 The Wife of a Noble Character
As I sat there and they read what a noble woman did and how can we compare ourselves to this noble woman or how can we be this woman…I started to think maybe that is my problem. Maybe i haven’t been noble enough for my family? Maybe I need to work on doing my motherly duties better, wifely duties, and less on the little things in life. For example the verses say this:
Proverbs 31:10-18
” A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies” 11 her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. 12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.13 She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.14 She is like the merchant ships,bringing her food from afar. 15 She gets up while it is still dark she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls.16 She considers a field and buys it,out if her earnings she plants a vineyard. 17 She sets about her work vigorously, her arms strong for her tasks.18 She sees that her trading is profitable and her lamp does not go out at night.
For these verses it talks about how strong and smart she is and how she handles her duties as a wife. What can I do in this day and age to do more for my family to show them my love and faithfulness.
- I could show more compassion for my husband and what he does for us.
- I could take better control of my life as I am now.
- Be more dependent on myself and not others
There is alot we can do as women of GOD to be better wives and mothers. I mean I consider myself a great mother, but I could not complain so much when the kids don’t comply to what I want them to do, I could do it for myself, I kept reading the rest of the passages and found this woman was a hard working, loving, forgiving, faithful, strong woman. I needed this I needed to read this.
Another thing it goes to talk about it how we should not just led GOD lead our lives but have him be a huge part in our lives. The children need church, I need it and so does my husband. We are really working on being a more GODLY family! I am proud of everything we do but we could do so much more to show our appreciation.
Ever since Brandon turned 1 I have thought to myself one day I will show the world how GOD gave me him to show us all we are not alone, not the same, not perfect, and that he only does the things he does to show us he loves us. Brandon is my miracle, my insight to heaven and how precious life is. Everyday I learn from this child how not to get upset over the little things, how precious life is each day, how a smile can light someones day. If there is one thing I can say about being a mom of special needs child it is that GOD knows what he is doing when he gives you this child.SO hold on tight to that child, and your others, kiss your children everyday, teach them the word, hold them, tell them you love them, and GOD will show you the right path for you and them.
SO on with all of my rambling I just want to say thank you to everyone who has been a part of my life and remember GOD has a plan for everyone and we are all a part of it and he will show you the way sooner or later. For me it took 31 years but I see what I am suppose to do and how and I am tying my best to grasp it.
I hope this helps someone understand how a mom, wife, friend, and church friend is suppose to be towards one another not just for show but for yourselves.

I love this so much. Yes, I believe that our little ones are sent to us for a reason. I know that I have grown is so many ways that I wouldn’t have been able to do — or at least not as easily — without our little Sammy. The days can still be extremely hard, but having that perspective does help soften the pain. Thank you for sharing your faith and your beautiful family.
