10 A competent wife, how does one find her? Her value is far above pearls. 11 Her husband entrusts his heart to her, and with her he will have all he needs. 12 She brings him good and not trouble all the days of her life. 13 She seeks out wool and flax; she works joyfully with her hands. 14 She is like a fleet of merchant ships, bringing food from a distance. 15 She gets up while it is still night, providing food for her household, even some for her female servants. 16 She surveys a field and acquires it; from her own resources, she plants a vineyard. 17 She works energetically; her arms are powerful. 18 She realizes that her trading is successful; she doesn’t put out her lamp at night. 19 She puts her hands to the spindle; her palms grasp the whorl. 20 She reaches out to the needy; she stretches out her hands to the poor. 21 She doesn’t fear for her household when it snows, because they are all dressed in warm[a] clothes. 22 She makes bedspreads for herself; fine linen and purple are her clothing. 23 Her husband is known in the city gates when he sits with the elders of the land. 24 She makes garments and sells them; she supplies sashes to traders. 25 Strength and honor are her clothing; she is confident about the future. 26 Her mouth is full of wisdom; kindly teaching is on her tongue. 27 She is vigilant over the activities of her household; she doesn’t eat the food of laziness. 28 Her children bless her; her husband praises her: 29 “Many women act competently, but you surpass them all!” 30 Charm is deceptive and beauty fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. 31 Let her share in the results of her work; let her deeds praise her in the city gates.Proverbs 31:10-31

Bliss
Shores of the newly discovered Costa Navarino in Greece...
A moment of ecstasy seems to lie only 5000 miles away. What are miles but, phrases of time in this endless overwhelming life; where taking a moment to just breathe, seems to bring upon guilt. Just imagery as this brings peace and hope that one day I might be surrendered by such beauty that my Heavenly Father created for His creation, to bring praise and relish.

Restless
Can't sleep! Compassionate thoughts circulate within me. Unpredictable and some unfortunately predictable circumstances bring about feelings, thoughts, hopes, and desires. The following are random judgments that are keeping me up including the following.
I cherish individuality and humility most of all and finding two qualities within one seems to be declining, yet almost impossible.
You have a family, it’s not perfect, and whose is? You do not have a choice of the ones you possess but you do have a choice of the one you want to form. Yet the ones you do own seem to be just perfect for you and your being, they complete you in a way no matter if you never see them again, and form you. But they are wonderful in the most awkward way possible.
How hard can it possibly be just to love someone the way they are, our Heavenly father did it for us and trust me men are a disappointment of a creature. Pride and envy has seemed to be the main cause of this disappointment with lack of humbleness and nobility. What good is it to always have your nose in the air for you will always be missing out with what’s actually on earth? This lack of justified judgment what causes one to appear foolish? What good is it to want that which another possesses if you would gain that which your eyes desire because you seen another, then you lose that sense of individuality. Individuality, one of the most benevolent and irreplaceable quality that one with a mind of its own possesses such a trait needs to be flourished and not alter to the world.
Desire a concept I seem to have completely forgot how to practice. The word in itself seems to associate something of sinful nature from a glance, when breaking it down its natural for a human; for a godly human only if it glorifies God, the criteria for it.
I find Rest in the Lord, what mercy that was shown to me on the cross, that I am able to bring this all to my Heavenly Father! :) Life is Great! I <3 Jesus!

Courage
I stumbled upon a thought the other day realizing I have been in a slight torment for quite some time now. Getting to the bottom of my palpate I realized that I truly care for someone but my affections are not mutual and can I say that indeed it hurts. Life is not easy that is for sure. Now that I think about it I have a faint idea of how Jesus felt when He stretched out his Holy hands on the cross for me and my sins. Jesus sacrificed himself to prove His unconditional love and yet this world still forsaken Him, this world can never get anything right. I despise this wicked world that took something so beautiful as a union of a man and woman and it made it so ugly. Marriage is such a sacred and blissful step in life that must be taken extremely seriously especially with faithfulness of guidance from the Lord. Whatever God gives no man can ever take away, I pray no matter what I am always in the hands of my Creator. This fondness that has grown on me I pray about it, I want God's will in my life and I know true Love is God.
