for your worth is far above rubies.. .

Women were created to be valued.. . for their worth is far above rubies.. .

A capable, intelligent, and virtuous woman--who is he who can find her? She is far more precious than jewels and her value is far above rubies or pearls.
-Proverbs 31:10 | Amplified Bible

But nowadays, we seldom find women who value themselves far more than rubies.. . because they don't know their worth.. . That's one of the reasons why women do things to get other people's attention.. . expose their bodies to receive appreciation.. . remain in a relationship even though the other treats them indifferently.. . Women tend to do silly things for them to be valued.. . when in fact, she shouldn't.. . she just needs to realize that her value is far above rubies or pearls.

God created women with value. Unless she knows how much she's worth, she will not learn how to value herself. She needs to realize that she is not worthless.

If she knows and understands her value and worth, she will not give in easily to someone who offers her temporary relationship and who's not willing to sacrifice to win her heart.. . because she's worth it.

If she knows and understands her value and worth, she will not pity herself if she doesn't have someone by her side (yet).. .because she is worth it.. . she's worth the wait.

If she knows and understands her value and worth, she will not destroy her body and put it into waste.. . because it is precious in His sight.

If she knows and understands her value and worth, she will not allow herself to be emotionally troubled by the things of this world or by the way this world defines beauty.. . because she is priceless.

We will not learn to value ourselves unless we commune with the One who values us the most--God. Women are worth far above rubies.. . do not act like you can be bought because you are priceless. You are fearfully and wonderfully made! Others won't value you unless you value yourself.. . You are worth it.

Charm can be deceiving, and beauty fades away, but a woman who honors the LORD deserves to be praised.
-Proverbs 31:30 | English Standard Version

Find your worth in God!

Issues of the mom-heart

I've read somewhere that everyone's miserable. They're just good at hiding it. I have been trying to find out why this new season seems to be a burden to me. Don't get me wrong -- I enjoy motherhood and I love my little one but something seems to be blocking my view of experiencing it joyfully. Callie's already 10 months and everything just dawned on me -- why I was struggling, why I can't see things the way it should be, why I felt ineffective and frustrated and depressed. I think I just had post-partum depression. I just got back from my US business trip and I just bursted into tears a few days after while singing Jesus loves me -- as if I'm telling that to myself. I'm grateful that I have a husband who listens and understands and encourages me that I can do it! I just realized the root cause(s) of what's going on after that incident. I was too attached to Callie that I don't want her to leave my site when I'm with her. I

Maturity

I was reading a long-overdue-book and I bumped into this: I have been married for almost two years now and I suddenly reminisced my late teenage years... It was in those years when God made me realize that maturity doesn't come with age... I was younger then, when I understood this very excerpt from the book Let Me Be a Woman (funny how everything He taught me is already in this book had I not stopped reading it! Indeed His humor is amazing). I started reading this way back 2007 or 2008 only to continue it now and read this now. I stopped reading it way back then because I don't have plans of getting married yet... little did I know that He will make me understand this in His own personal way. And right now, I was like, "So Lord, You must be saying, 'I told you so..' right?" haha! ... The key to meeting your better half starts with maturity. And maturity comes from God. To those who are still searching for their better half, don't. Don&#

Thoughts

Exodus Moses brought Joseph's bones out of Egypt when God freed them. Joseph made his family swear under oath that when God pays them a visit, they have to carry his bones with them. Joseph mentioned that surely, God will take them to the land He promised Abraham, Isaac & Jacob. Maybe, Joseph's brothers tell this to their sons & daughters so even after x number of years, they are still reminded of Joseph's request. The Israelites know that the time will come when God will take them out of Egypt but maybe they just didn't believe so He needed Moses to perform the miracles, that they might know Him, trust Him and believe in Him. Sometimes, we know what God said and what God promised us... but when it's already in front of us, it's hard to determine that God is already moving. Why? Because we are comfortable with the misery that we are in to. It dulls our senses and makes us forget the promise of God. Be careful with where you are right now.
