Here are the #ReflectionQuestions for Proverbs 31 Woman: Week 2
*Please note we are doubling up with two verses on Thursday!

Monday: Proverbs 31:15

I don’t know about you but I hate when I forget something and have to run back to the store because I didn’t check the cupboard or receive a note from school that spirit week requires a costume I cannot easily produce. We know these things are coming but we aren’t organized, therefore we stress or get frustrated. I’m not suggesting you stock up on Dr. Seuss costumes but rather that you plan ahead as best you can and delegate. Utilize your family members to help serve the organizational needs of your home.

What do I organize well? What do I need to organize better?
What tasks can I delegate to organize my home?

Tuesday: Proverbs 31:16

Being present and involved will change your life and the relationships you hold dear. Social media and technology are wonderful but they distract us from people who are right in front of us. I love taking pictures of my children but consciously make myself soak in the moment too. Active listening, eye-contact, and offering your talents will emerge you in the moment, keep you focused and involved.

Would my husband say I am present & involved? Would my children?

What can I do to be more present? To be more involved?

Wednesday: Proverbs 31:17

It is hard to be energetic and strong when you are tired both physically and emotionally. Your physical and mental health should be a priority. We all know that a balanced diet, thirty minutes of exercise a day can do wonders but finding the time can be a problem. We make time for the things we think are important. Consider making yourself and your health a priority.

When was the last time you felt energetic & strong? What were you doing then that you aren't doing now?

What can I do to care for myself physically? Emotionally? Mentally?

Thursday: Proverbs 31:18 & 19 {Double Verse Day}

Although physical endurance is important it isn’t the focus of this verse. God is affirming for us to finish the tasks set before us, to follow through to the end. In a world of disposable everything, it is a real accomplishment to stay the course and endure. Endure through raising children, staying married, forgiving a wrong, or even cleaning your kitchen at the end of the day. Having the endurance to finish will change your life.

What do I complete to the end? What motivates me to do it?

What do I need to complete? What can I do to follow through?

Being well-rounded helps us to roll with the punches. Life is a constant flow of rush and relax and the more we anchor ourselves in His word the more equipped we are at maintaining a well-rounded balance in our life. Being well-rounded can have its hazards, sometimes we stretch ourselves too thin. It is important to evaluate the things we give our time to and weed the garden when we need to.

What am I giving my time to that is serving me well?

What do I need to weed out? What is stretching me too thin?

Friday: Proverbs 31:

It is better to give than to receive. Giving of your time, your talents, your earnings can be as rewarding as it is needed by those to whom you give. When my grandmother died we donated her clothes, furniture and some of her knick-knacks to our local thrift store. I will never forget the look of gratitude I was given by the store’s manager. The need for “grandma clothes” as she called them was great and this donation was much appreciated.

What helpful and/or charitable acts to I offer now of my time? My talents? My earnings?

Where else is my help and charity needed?
