I Am Not My Own!!!!

I have found it very difficult to have my quiet time since the baby was born. Before I began working again, I could sneak in those peaceful moments with God during nap time. Now that I have returned to work, my bible reading is far and in between. God must have been preparing me for this during those nap time moments with Him, because for some reason, I wrote down several bible verses into a notebook. I'm glad I did.
My quietest times with God are now during my shower, during the ride to work, and during the ride home. I opened my notebook this morning, and found all those precious words....staring at me, reminding me of the wife I should be. I have been struggling with this a bit lately. I'm finding very difficult to be a career woman, a mother, and a wife. And since quitting my job is out of the question right now, I guess I'll continue praying and studying until God "fixes" it.
These are some of the verses I've been studying.

-Proverbs 12:4 "An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, But she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones."

-Proverbs 31:30 "Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised."

-Proverbs 18:22 "The man who finds a wife finds a treasure, and he receives favor from the Lord."

-Proverbs 19:14 "Fathers can give their sons an inheritance of houses and wealth, but only the Lord can give an understanding wife."

-Proverbs 19:13 "...a quarrelsome wife is as annoying as constant dripping."

-Proverbs 21:9 "It is better to live alone in the corner of an attic that with a quarrelsome wife in a lovely home."

-Proverbs 11:22 "A beautiful woman who lacks discretion is like a gold ring in a pig's snout."

-Proverbs 14:1 "A wise woman builds her home, but a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands."

-Proverbs 31:26 "When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness."

-Proverbs 31:27 "She carefully watches everything in her household and suffers nothing from laziness."

-Proverbs 31:10-12: "Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is more precious than rubies. Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life."

I think the last one is my favorite. I pray everyday that I am the helpmate to my husband that God designed me to be. I struggle so much. Today's world says to be your OWN woman, your OWN person, but I find much comfort know that I am my husband's!!!!
What more joy could you have, knowing that you belong to someone? Knowing that you enrich some one's life, and that you are more precious that rubies!!!!!!! I belong to Papa Rooster!!! I love that my identity is found through him. I love being MRS. PAPA ROOSTER. I don't want to exist on my own.
Thank you God for the chance to be a wife. Perfect me so that I may bring honor to my husband, all while serving you.
