never stop learning | pursuit of proverbs 31

There will always be room for improvement in our lives, which is why it is important that we are always open to learning.


Unfortunately, we have been the target of some outrageous media propaganda. Some of it sets our flesh racing in the wrong direction so we turn to the church where we receive conflicting views on biblical truths. No wonder we are so stinkin’ confused when it comes to our roles as Christ following women. Even within Christianity there are views that go from one end of the spectrum to the other. What’s a girl to do?


As I read and meditated on the Scriptures and tried applying them to my life, something odd happened. I became filled with anger, bitterness, anxiety, and was more overwhelmed than when I started. When I heard other women speak about all the Proverbs 31 guidelines they had achieved I would feel myself cringe inside. Why was I different? Why couldn’t I just get it?

There’s a reason I could never “get it”.

It’s important that we are always on a journey of learning and we must be careful to who we are listening to and learning from.

If you’ve ever wanted to tear the 31st chapter of Proverbs out of your bible this book is for you.

She is a wife, mom, business owner, seamstress, she serves the needy, speaks life and wisdom, and seems to be quite the major overachiever, perfectionist type.

Except that…she’s not.


Come along and journey with Amy and take a look at the real woman of Proverbs 31. She isn’t as perfect as she seems. In fact, I think she is a lot like you and me.

book of james | online bible study

Hi everyone!

My name is Mary.  This is my blog.  Just in case I’ve been gone so  long that you don’t remember me.  ;)   I hope all of you are doing well.  I’m going to post soon with a few things that have been on my heart lately.  But in the mean time, I wanted to get your interest piqued with the next Bible study I’m going to be doing on here for the next few weeks.

 

We’re going to be looking in-depth at the Book of James every Thursday here on The Heart of the Matter.  Each week we’ll break down a chapter and look at what the book of James is really saying to us today.  Some might argue that James was teaching us that our salvation was works-based – our faith was works-based.  But I would believe that the entire book is a road map for Christian living.  And believe me, there’s a lot in there to chew on.

So, grab your journal, a pen and your Bible and I’ll see you back here next Thursday for our first installation.  (well, hopefully you be back every time I post, but no pressure, okay?)
