6 Traits Of A Godly Woman

Lord, make me a woman who...

Sometimes, I am so painfully human. It is all too easy to fall victim to the things of this world, slipping in to insecurity, doubt, and fear. Sometimes I get so caught up in these things that I can feel myself start to lose sight of the God that lovingly sculpted each of my steps. But, he knows just how far from perfect I am, and yet He loves me anyway. Grace Himself knows my whole heart, and knows my longing for Him, and my desire to live my life in a way that reflects more of Him than of myself. So I’m praying that the Lord would instill and strengthen these traits in me. Here are some tell-tale signs of a Godly woman that I’m praying the Lord imprints on my heart.

Lord make me a woman who...

1. Speaks kindness and wisdom.

"She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue." -Psalm 31:16

"Kind words are like honey, sweet to the soul and healthy for the body." - Proverbs 16:23

2. Craves things of the word and not of the world.

"Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." Luke 1:38

"Set you minds on things above, not on earthly things." - Colossians 3:2

3. Knows her worth in your eyes.

"You are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you." - Isaiah 43:4

"She is more precious than rubies." - Proverbs 3:15

"I have loved you with an everlasting love, I have drawn you with unfailing kindness" - Jeremiah 31:3

4. Pursues humility.

"Do justice, love mercy, walk humbly." - Micha 6:8

"Do nothing of selfish ambition, but in humility consider others better than yourselves." - Philippians 2:3

"Do not use your freedom to indulge, but serve one another humbly in love." - Galatians 5:13

5. Trusts you wholeheartedly.

"Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her." - Luke 1:45

"I shall walk by faith even when I cannot see." 2 Corinthians 5:7

"He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it." - Philippians 1:6

6. Seeks to serve you.

"I seek you with my whole heart, do not let me stray from your commandments." - Psalm 119:10

"Whatever you do, work at it with your whole heart, as working for the Lord, not for men." - Colassians 3:23

This is my prayer, that each day I would live bringing glory to God. I am so imperfect, but thank the Lord for His grace and love, that he still chooses me every single day. Every day He wants to know me intimately and love me deeply. And how beautiful that he gave us hearts designed to desire Him in the same way. So here I am Lord; make me a woman after your own heart.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
