A Wise Woman Builds Her House!

"A wise woman builds her house" comes from the book of wisdom, Proverbs. She doesn't literally get out there with brick, cement, sheet rock, etc. (wouldn't that be something), but she fashions herself according to sacred morals and principles of truth. She is slow to anger and speaks to enlighten and encourage others. She loves at all times and speaks the truth in her heart. She is a woman of virtue and is perfect not because she doesn't make a mistake, but perfect in knowing her self worth in spite of. She is complete within herself and knows her place when relating to men, displaying honor at all times. She will do her mate/husband good all the days of his life and teach her children according to the law set in agreement by the two of them. She makes the house a home, for the entire family. And here she stands, blessed and highly favored.

Your Response Determines Your Wisdom!

^{In the book of wisdom, Proverbs 9:8-9 declares:} Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

Reprove means: 1. To voice or convey disapproval of; rebuke. 2. To find fault with..

Scorner means: 1. One who scorns; a despiser; a contemner; 2. One who has a disdain feeling towards a person or object considered despicable or unworthy

According to Proverbs and the definitions above, a scorner seems to be the opposite of a wise man. So it is safe to say that a scorner is a fool. We are either foolish or wise by our reaction or response to corrective criticism. Life is about continuous growth that comes with learning and being a life long student of progress. Listening and taking head to that which can help improve our performance and productivity counts us as wise. Wisdom is the principle thing and is considered to be far above riches. Wisdom is the answer to any problem, circumstance or challenge one may face in life. The answer brings peace and joy. The book of wisdom also declares that a fool/scorner and his money will soon depart. What good is it to win the lottery for millions of dollars and waste it all due to lack of wisdom to increase and keep it circulating.

Wisdom is the principle thing and in all get understanding.

Greater is He.......

If we are created in the image and likeness of God, that makes us co-creators. (Gen 26-28) We were already blessed and equipped with His Divine power within to accomplish any thing we desire. There is no such word as "I can't" in our vocabulary (Phil 4:13) declares, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. What dreams have you put on the back burner of your mind because you think it's too late or you "can't" afford to do it? STOP! That's only fear-False Evidence Appearing Real- God would never give birds the desire to fly south if south didn't exist. Don't you know you are His masterpiece, the best out of all creations...He saved the best for last and commanded us to be fruitful, multiply, replenish and have dominion. This is proof that our desires are; de-of; sire-the Father. Therefore if you and I have a desire, the destiny is awaiting. Start NOW!

Corrective Criticism-Can You Handle It?

Open rebuke is better than secret love. What does this mean? Many people may disagree with this statement, but it comes right from the book of wisdom, Proverbs. To rebuke someone is to bring correction. For example, if a child is wondering in the street, will you whisper to them or yell to get their attention so they can get out of harms way. So, it is with open rebuke. Correction should be given immediately, not worrying about hurting someone's feelings...and let's not be quick to correct someone just for our own glory. We must check ourselves as well. Are we open to corrective criticism? Can we "man-up" and take responsibility for our mistakes without defending our wrongness or making excuses? The sacred scriptures also mention, faithful are the wounds of a friend. Those who love us will tell the truth no matter what and be there in our time of healing.

The Beauty in Just Being You!

True beauty is appreciated when we DO NOT compare ourselves to others. Individually, we are all born with uniqueness; from facial features, body structure, height, etc. This means that you and I cannot be duplicated. That's a wonderful thing. We are all fearfully and wonderfully made, Marvelous are the works of He who created us! I'm so happy no one looks just like me. Although I favor my sisters and many people say my nieces favor me more so than my daughter, there is no one like me! And just the same with you......so go ahead love on the beauty and uniqueness of just being you.

Happiness vs. Joy

Happiness is based on what favorable happens in our life. This takes our emotions and feelings on a roller coaster ride. We are happy when something happens that we expect. We are sad when what we expect doesn't go the way we plan. Life experiences will continually be a roller coaster ride, but we have a choice to experience the ups and downs without letting it change our true nature. This is joy, a product of our true being. Meaning, it doesn't matter what happens, experiences are just that; experiences, that will come and go. I am who I am no matter what. If we can separate our true being from our life experiences, we then not take challenges, trials, etc. so seriously letting them make us miserable, but we quickly seek the solution to make a change for the best. When we feel better, we do better! We still can have an optimistic attitude in times of trials. We do find the answer to life problems quicker when we operate in joy!

Silence is Golden

Have you ever met someone who just begins telling everything going on in there life? This happens to me all the time. But I wonder, how many other people do they meet and just share their life, past and present with. I mean, come on a complete and total stranger. You are considered foolish when you utter all your business. You have people who share their relationship problems on TV talk shows and Social media. We are to be discrete in our daily living, walking in truth and wisdom. Now I can say for these people, they haven't made too many wise choices in life and are having a hard time dealing with the consequences. They are also not to spiritual because they should seek counsel with someone who can not only help guide them, but swear to secrecy.
