Being a Proverbs 31 Woman

Yesterday I started reading The Proverbs 31 Woman and let me say this I can see that this is going to be a good thing for me but there were a few things that didn't sit well with me. I instantly felt a conviction as I was reading it. It's never easy to realize that are things about yourself that need to change. I want to be a Proverbs 31 woman but I can see getting there isn't going to be a walk in the park. I'll be doing it a chapter a day and if I don't get it right I'll stay on that page until I do. I think this may be a challenge for me because I've never thought of myself as being virtuous (or needing to be a virtuous woman). I want to become a woman that my sons look at as an example of what kind of woman they want to marry ( and not just because I keep a clean house or cook a good meal) and a wife my husband has never known before.  I'm clearly not perfect and never will be but I'm doing this to strive towards being a more Godly woman of virtue. Day 1 for me was "How to be a treasure to your husband" Proverbs 31:10 says "A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies."

There are 10 traits of a noble character that it listed and I really struggle with having two of them. The first one is "she does not gossip or slander others" I by no means sit here and say awful things about others or say untrue things but I do know that sometimes talking out of fact or concern can quickly turn to gossip so I need to work on that. The second one is "She does not spend her days doing leisurely shopping, texting, emailing, web browsing, watching late night movies and sleeping in." I find that I spend a little too much time on the computer so I am going to start limiting the I spend online each day. I will be more efficient with my time and spend less of it just "browsing". I'm sticking with the first chapter again today because I feel like I need to spend more time in prayer about these things before moving on to the next chapter. So if you all would be praying for me as I begin my journey into becoming a Proverbs 31 Woman I would greatly appreciate it. Also if you are interested in doing The Proverbs 31 Woman One Virtue at a Time please let me know I will see what I can do about getting a copy.
