Resolve

Holding on to a vision calls for powerful resolve. I will not, nor do I blame others for my mistakes. Life has dealt me some blows but whats important is that I keep getting up. Keep untying the knots that seem to hold me or bind me. So I must untangle and free myself from forces that that I have allowed to hold me. But I'm here now, I woke up this morning and I pray to God that I wake up tomorrow. I have a new outlook and a much deeper resolve and determination to come out of this better and more balanced.

We spent the morning getting my daughter straightened out so she can return to school. She was trying for the fall but it looks like it will be January. She wants to become a pharmacist. Yea. Thank God she has finally come up with something more that she wants for her life. I tell the all the time, learn how to do something. Get certified, degreed, or something so that people will have to pay you for your services. Now if I can just get Liz to go for that MA in Speech Therapy so she can become a speech therapist. She is 3/4 of the way there. I just have to continue to encourage her to not  just give up.

Proverbs 31

Sayings of King Lemuel
 1 The sayings of King Lemuel—an oracle [a] his mother taught him:  2 "O my son, O son of my womb,
       O son of my vows, [b]
 3 do not spend your strength on women,
       your vigor on those who ruin kings.
 4 "It is not for kings, O Lemuel—
       not for kings to drink wine,
       not for rulers to crave beer,
 5 lest they drink and forget what the law decrees,
       and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.
 6 Give beer to those who are perishing,
       wine to those who are in anguish;
 7 let them drink and forget their poverty
       and remember their misery no more.
 8 "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
       for the rights of all who are destitute.
 9 Speak up and judge fairly;
       defend the rights of the poor and needy."
       Epilogue: The Wife of Noble Character
 10 [c] A wife of noble character who can find?
       She is worth far more than rubies.
 11 Her husband has full confidence in her
       and lacks nothing of value.
 12 She brings him good, not harm,
       all the days of her life.
 13 She selects wool and flax
       and works with eager hands.
 14 She is like the merchant ships,
       bringing her food from afar.
 15 She gets up while it is still dark;
       she provides food for her family
       and portions for her servant girls.
 16 She considers a field and buys it;
       out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
 17 She sets about her work vigorously;
       her arms are strong for her tasks.
 18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
       and her lamp does not go out at night.
 19 In her hand she holds the distaff
       and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
 20 She opens her arms to the poor
       and extends her hands to the needy.
 21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
       for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
 22 She makes coverings for her bed;
       she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
 23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
       where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
 24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
       and supplies the merchants with sashes.
 25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
       she can laugh at the days to come.
 26 She speaks with wisdom,
       and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
 27 She watches over the affairs of her household
       and does not eat the bread of idleness.
 28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
       her husband also, and he praises her:
 29 "Many women do noble things,
       but you surpass them all."
 30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
       but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
 31 Give her the reward she has earned,
       and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

Once again God directs me to a renewal of relationship. Keep my mind on love and relationship. Dont let me think that at any point it is not about husbands and wives. Thats what is important. I take care of you and you take care of me. Together we are united as one. One for God. I will continue to think love and you. Be blessed tonight and be a blessing to someone. I love you.
