The Gift of Her Clothing
Strength and dignity are her clothing. (Proverbs 31:25) In this photo, I’m wearing my new/old favorite top. I discovered this little treasure in the midst of a pile of clothes my mom was getting ready to donate. My mom has given so much to me—new clothes and old, but my most favorite “hammy downs” are…

The Gift of Being a Woman
Women’s Day is right around the corner, and I’ve been thinking lately about what it means to be a woman. A woman at her best is driven by love not leadership, peace not power, connection not control. This doesn’t mean women can’t be leaders, but it shouldn’t be her driving force nor her end goal.…

The Gift of a Woman’s Joy
Lately, I’ve really been enjoying my floral finger painting. It’s really brought out two sides of my personality that are precious to me—my femininity as well as my inner-child. “Some days, you just have to take off work, put on some classical music and paint some flowers.” I told myself, and that’s exactly what I…

The Gift of Loving Lavender
I have a closet full of bright, bold colors; they have always made me feel alive and confident. As I was getting ready for church one morning recently, I noticed a sweater at the back of my closet for the first time in a long time—soft, delicate, and lavender with flowers on it. I remembered…

The Gift of Knowing Him: Taking a Closer Look at Proverbs 31:25
She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. (Proverbs 31:25) I’ve been meditating on this scripture lately. What does it mean to be clothed with strength and dignity? You can’t go to the mall and find either of these things. Strength and dignity is spiritual clothing—they come from…

The Gift of a Wife: Becoming the Proverbs 31 Woman
He who finds a wife finds a good thing. (Proverbs 18:22) What makes a wife? A wedding ceremony, a ring on your finger, a shared bank account and living space? I want to make a bit of an ironic claim: The “Proverbs 31 woman” was a wife before she had a husband and would have…

The Gift of Surrender: Resting in God’s Strength
To the women reading today, have you ever had your significant other offer to carry something heavy for you? Maybe it was something you knew you could carry on your own, but they offered to carry it, anyway. I want to encourage you to let him; always let him. Surrendering takes a certain level of…

The Gift of Her
Men, When you find the one who lets you lead, lead her towards the Lord. When you find the one who supports you, stand by her. When you find the one who finds refuge in the Lord, protect her. When you find the one who shows you her vulnerability, carry her. When you find the…

The Gift of Waiting
Women, Wait for the one who loves the Lord more than you. Wait for the one who will never leave you confused, wondering where you stand. Wait for the one who will never abandon nor give up on you. Wait for the one who takes better care of you than his most prized possession. Wait…
