Proverbs 22:29 Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve before kings; he will not serve before obscure men.

I thank God that 2007 was not a waste after all. 1999 was not a waste after all. There I got experience and bragging rights that I was unaware of until today. Let the references that I got be a stepping stone.

If there ever was a year of new beginnings, this one is it for me. For my own sake I have had to crop out a whole bunch of things and people from my life. People that have been a part of my life for many years. As a woman, I have to skillfully guide my household in a path of clarity and integrity.
A fellowship that I was attending is morphing into something that I can not find in scripture. So I have to get up and leave. I have to be in a place that I fully believe in.
I am hurt and disappointed and I am not about to join anyone or anything else for as far into the future as I can see.

When God sent prophets, Samuel, Moses, Isaiah, they did not miss it. Their company was both desirable and fearful because they bore in their lips and in their being the words and presence of JEHOVAH.
GOD was with them and it was to your credit to pay attention to them. Samuels and Moseses are rare today. People of whom God can testify and say of them...their words will not fall to the ground.
Today I find prophets that are a joke to put it kindly. They prophesy vague prophesies that have no responsibility nor bear the gravity of the word of the Lord.

Let me be simple O Lord, but let me hear your voice. Let me guide my household with strength, skill and in the fear of the Lord.

Proverbs 31:10

Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
11The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
13She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
14She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
15She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
16She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
17She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
18She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
19She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
20She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
21She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
23Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
24She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
25Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
26She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
27She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
28Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
29Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
30Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
31Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
