About Me



I (Wisdom from God) love those who love me,
and those who seek me early and diligently
SHALL FIND ME.
 Proverbs 8:17


For the record, I don't get most things right. I get mad when someone rolls their eyes at what I've fixed for dinner. I have never been able to cut hair straight. I don't understand algebra. I grow weary about pushing kids to do well in school. Just get that diploma! My chocolate chip cookies always turn out flat.
 
 
Hear instruction and be wise, and
DO NOT REFUSE OR NEGLECT IT.
Proverbs 8:33

 
Then there are some things I know I do right. I keep a clean house. I know how to roll socks and tri-fold underwear to satisfy my military husband's idea of a proper dresser drawer (and no, I'm not joking but that is a joke that will take us well into our old-age years). I can bake one delicious Hershey's chocolate cake.


For whoever finds me (Wisdom)
finds life and draws forth and obtains
FAVOR FROM THE LORD.
Proverbs 8:35


I like to think I'm a good listener, but my youngest will tell you I'm not. I'd like to tell you I'm not judgmental, but the middle would challenge that one. I can pretend to know what's wrong with the computer and the oldest will set me straight. I think I've got God figured out and He laughs right along with me.


The reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord
is the beginning (the chief and choice part) of Wisdom,
and the knowledge of the Holy One is
INSIGHT AND UNDERSTANDING.
Proverbs 9:10


The only time I'm me is when I'm with Him.
That's when you see the real me, the way He intended.
Uneven hair and all.
