Proverbs 31 Woman
When I think of the entire Proverbs 31 passage as a tribute to the ideal woman, it’s an inspiration to me, as unattainable as it may be to meet every goal listed in that long passage! But…it’s an inspiration, and it sets my mind and heart on a WORTHY goal, because we serve a WORTHY God, and this world is filled with so much less than ideals that are worthy! My hope and prayer is that this website points you to God, and that you may find in your own time with God, to discover all of the ways that you are worthy of becoming like the Proverbs 31 Woman.
Live Your Calling
On Joy Forney’s site, she mentions being in her “sweet spot.” She says “let us revel in who God has made us to be!” I love this. I don’t fit the mold, and I’ve tried to figure out how to be authentic with who I am with this website that I believe God is calling me to do. I have wrestled with parts of it, because I don’t want to minimize Christianity by including finding bargains, because that could be perceived as materialism. And I don’t want to leave out the devotions and verses either because I believe that brings Glory to the one who deserves it all! As I procrastinate and lead myself to believe that this site is not ready or polished enough, I am missing out on sharing my heart and passion for God and for living a lifestyle that honors God, with our money, time, love and gifts. So, I’m going to go there- live in my sweet spot. Share the things that make me tick, like saving money- I’m passionate about that! My career before kids was negotiating contracts and finding ways for a big company to save money. I loved that! And now we serve in our church and I realize the needs women have for resources about raising a family, loving in marriage, and being the women of God we are created to be! I’ve learned so much in our leadership roles and in being a mom! And using photography, web design, analytics, and all of these other things that intrigue me and keep me learning…this website is such an outlet for that.
So, it’s time to stop hiding and just put it out there. It’s time to Live My Calling. And you should too!!
Welcome to Mom’s Priority
As a mother and leader in Women’s Ministry and Sunday School, I realize the value of resources that encourage us as women and moms. Mom’s Priority is here to be just that: an encouragement for moms to become stronger, wiser, more discerning, more faithful, more loving, and more capable to raise and train up people than we ever could in our strength by depending on the power of Christ in us. Through the verses, devotionals, and resources available on Mom’s Priority, I pray that you will realize the amazing responsibility you have been given, and that you can do it well, with the help of God.
