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.

Hi Amber, I have been pretty sick for a while. When I wrote that last post saying that I was getting better...well, I had a setback.
But now, I think that I actually am getting better. Praise the Lord for that! I don't like being sick, but He has a reason for it and I did get to read the Bible a bunch.
I have been praying for you Amber and you know, it really does feel like you are a sister of mine.
Have a blessed day in Him.
Love in Christ,
Leah
It had been just lovely getting to "meet" you through your blog! It's encouraging to read about the lives of other young ladies that have many of the same desires and are striving to serve the Lord at home. :) Perhaps someday we shall be able to meet in person...and if not, we KNOW we will meet in our heavenly home--what joy!
