The beauty of God giving me a list for my husband is that He also gave me a list to strive for as a future wife someday. As with the previous entry, He used the same movie to show me what I should be in a future wife. There are so many things I need to continue to surrender to the Lord and allow Him to grow in me, but this is what He has given me so far to strive for as a future wife.
WIFE
1. A woman who puts God first (part of God's family)
2. Ambitious and has goals
- Proverbs 31:15-16 says "She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household and portions for her maidens."
3. She has boundaries
4. She makes her husband want to be a better person
- Proverbs 31:11 says "The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain."
