The Proverbs 31 Man

All that I desire Lord is a man that

Loves Your Word

Listens to Your Spirit

& Follows You all the days of his life.




The Proverbs 31 Man

"Who can find a man of integrity?"
For such a one is of priceless value that perpetually increases.
He walks in the fear of the Lord and observes all of His statues.
He embraces wisdom wholeheartedly and continues in the way of sound discipline.
He maintains discretion and does not depart from the path of righteousness, for he understands words of insight.
He treats his wife as he treats his own body, seeking her protection and well-being at all times.
The heart of his wife rests beneath his covering and flourishes in all fruitfulness under the outpouring of his love.
He is faithful, drinking from his own well, and is unceasingly satisfied by the wife of his youth, always loving her as a lover who loves still.
He will do her good and not evil all the days of His life.
Though he waxes strong, he exercises humility.
He diligently works to answer and supply the needs of his family and household.
His wife has no fear of the times to come, for he prudently considers the future and prepares for it.
He is kind to the needy, and his name is synonymous with a good report. His reputation precedes him; therefore, others seek his counsel and follow his example as well as instruction.
His mouth is a fountain of life to his household and to all who seek refreshing.
He walks in confidence and sound judgment, administering wise instruction to his wife and children.
He sets his house in God-ordained order.
He redeems his household and covers its inhabitants with prayer.
He considers the words of his wife, celebrates her wisdom, and crowns her as a helpmeet(suitable partner) for him.
He grants her a double portion, blesses her gifts, and boasts of her achievements.
He is clothed in love and faithfulness.
He trusts and rests secure in the help of his Redeemer.
Many men appear to be desirable at first glance, but the man who fears the Lord is to be praised, for his witness endures the test of time and scrutiny.
Give him the honor he as earned and let the work of his hands prosper and be spread abroad.

hope & wait

*HOPE*

Romans 4:20-21 "(she) did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being FULLY CONVINCED that what He had promised He was also able to perform."

Romans 8:24-25 "... but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance."


Bible-based.
Christ-centered.
God-glorifying Marriage.

I will not settle for anything less.

Jesus loves me ridiculous amounts! And until being "married" will bring God more glory from my life than being "single" (preferred term, celibate servant), then I will maximize the time and focused-discipline to use all that I am and all that I have to glorify His Kingdom in my current state & season of life.

As I strive to be the best version of me He created me to be, I will study the analogies He gave me:
1. Treasure hidden in a field
2. Pearl
3. Trophy
4. Specialty Speed Bike
5. Commissioned Officer on a Battleship

I am praying for my FH... but until he is revealed, Jesus is keeping me extremely well-satisfied and provided for =D
