Here are the #ReflectionQuestions for Proverbs 31 Woman: Week 3 

Monday: Proverbs 31:21

Being prepared and organized go hand in hand. Looking toward the future need of your family is a prudent practice. Not only does it free up your time elsewhere but it also helps your sanity. I think of preparedness as a dresser. If you keep all of your clothes in it chances are it is overflowing, it's unorganized, you are probably missing items. If we prepare for the season of life we are in, we have symmetry, organization, peace and control.

What do I have control over in my home? Am I actively preparing to keep control or am I barely hanging on?
What can I do differently to organize myself so that I am prepared?

Tuesday: Proverbs 31:22

Practicing self-care isn’t about spa days and chocolate covered almonds it is about physical, mental and emotional care. You’ll notice this is a recurring theme. If we are drowning in a sea of fatigue, negative self-talk and stress it is impossible for us to lift up others, especially those closest to us. Take a time out, but also consider the previous verses: Are you present, prepared, organized, honest. Are you working smarter, not harder, following through, asking for help?

How do I know when I am on the brink of breaking? How often do I feel this way?
What can I do each day to take care of myself physically? Mentally? Emotionally?

Wednesday: Proverbs 31:23

Although this is later in the scripture it is in my personal top five attributes of virtue. Respect is the seed by which trust, compassion, and love grow. If we over-share or speak poorly about our husbands, children, family members how can we not expect those around us to have negative images of the people we love. The need to vent is normal but proceed with caution. 

What respect do I show my husband? My Children? Myself?

What boundaries do I need to set to ensure I am not disrespecting my husband? My children? Myself?

Thursday: Proverbs 31:24

What an incredibly true statement. Proverbs tells us that were are a vessel, which also means we are a provider not just monetarily, but emotionally, physically, and mentally to our families. Whether it be praise to your children or being intimate with your husband you provide for the needs of those around you in a plethora of ways. Sometimes the weight of that responsibility gets to us and we feel bogged down. It is important to evaluate how much we are giving that is necessary and how much isn’t.

What do I provide for myself? For my husband? For my children?
What am I spinning my wheels doing that doesn't need to be done?

Friday: Proverbs 31:25

The saying, “You never know what storm God has asked someone to walk through” comes to mind. We all have been asked to walk through storms at various times in our lives, or sometimes all at once. It can be difficult to be optimistic but with God on our side it is possible. There is beauty in every day, we just have to look for it. God’s timing is perfect, if we are composed and faithful through the storm God will part the clouds when the time is right.

What storm is God asking you to walk through right now?
What lesson is God asking you to learn from it?
