What Characterizes a Proverbs 31 Woman?
​​​​The best answer to this question can be found in Provers 31:10-31. The Virtuous Woman described in this chapter is both inspirational and influential. She characterizes the ultimate wise and industrious woman of faith throughout history.
​
Apart from the fact that she was likely not a real person but an "ideal" set forth to us by the Holy Spirit, we can derive from the text, exactly what the Lord thinks of this woman.
​
The Lord thinks this woman is amazing! Just look at everything this Virtuous woman can do!
​
She can manage the house, the children, the meals, the servants, all with grace and dignity — and she can run and operate her own business, too!
​
Not to mention, the simple fact that her husband LOVES her and considers her to be more valuable than rubies. Wow.
​
Even her children rise up and call her blessed!! I'm sure this included adult children as well...
​
And her husband is known in the gates — meaning, people have esteem for who he is — because he has a lovely devoted wife taking care of things at home.
​
I believe this "ideal" woman was placed in Scripture to show every generation of women what we are capable of doing.
​​​
What is the Calling of a Woman of Faith and Virtue?
When I was a young wife and mother, I would read over Proverbs 31 many times a day. My intent was to capture the essence of who this Virtuous Woman was and infuse my heart and spirit with her spunk and creativity.
​
The Virtuous Woman was my role model for many years and I set my heart to be just like her.
​
Through her example, my heart's desire was towards my home, my family, making meals, and creating a beautiful atmosphere where love could flourish.
​
I wanted to be a blessing to my family and be pleasing to God in everything I said and did. ​

How to Pursue the Call of Becoming a Proverbs 31 Woman
​​My press to be pleasing to God, led me on a path of seeking to become my best self. This desire ushered grace into my heart, and gave me the ability to be a good mom and a faithful wife.​
I sought self-help books, devotionals, and prayer books for added reading material to grow and mature as a woman of God.
​My mornings were filled with Bible reading, and my afternoons (during naptimes) were filled with devotions.
The Lord moved within my spirit during these times and I felt a new understanding of what pleases God fill my heart and soul.
Discover the Best Practices that will Produce Love, Joy, and Peace in Heart and Home
​On this website ministry, I share my most treasured insights into becoming a woman of faith that pleases God. This is my life's testimony.
I am currently a pastor's wife, and this title came to me because, long ago, I chose to be influenced by this Virtuous Woman.​
I quickly realized, the only way I could become a woman of faith was through discipline and hard work, and, wouldn't you know it, this is the main character trait of the Virtuous Woman.
"Strength and honor are her clothing."​
A strong woman of God does not balk at the time to come (her schedule, or tasks) because she is fully prepared to meet any challenge.
Her heart, soul, and mind is held steady because her anchor is in the Lord.
