"She is worth far more than Rubies" Proverbs 31:10

Guys don't go around buying your affections with the rubies and jewels and diamonds as tokens of your worth. Especially these broke college kids.

As women of God, we have grown into the obsession of becoming like the continued talk about the Women of the Bible. Be brave. Like Esther. Be Loyal. Like Ruth. Be perfect. Like the Proverbs 31 Woman.

We have all been there. Proverbs 31. Perfection. Achieve it. Strive for it. Go for it. Fail.
Fail? Impossible. Unattainable? Give up? Bring me down.

Mary? You want me to be Mary? And Ruth, and Esther. Turn around and be change your life. Revert from old and into new. Be Rahab! Proverbs 31. Throw me an apple and call me Eve. I have failed and am not the woman they say I was created to be
