31 July 2012; Prov 31

Of course, everyone knows that this Proverbs describe a super woman.

2 qualities -
 She opens her hand to the poor
  and reaches out her hands to the needy.
(Proverbs 31:20 ESV)

 She considers a field and buys it;
  with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.
(Proverbs 31:16 ESV)

The first is about character, something to do with the heart. Investing in others and storing treasures in heaven.

The second is about competent, something to do with abilities. Investing in self-gain and storing treasures on earth.

The proverbs expressed both as qualities of a woman.

I pray for Rach to be wise and capable in both.

My story
I pray for a girlfriend - then not knowing God. I was very alone and it was then I that my mum was in hospital and dying. I was 14 and I remembered sitting at the stairs overlooking the bus stop at the void deck at 329. It was not the gods that my mum pray to, as such, I believe such a prayer opens up search indirectly to the true and living God.

I found God first before I found Rach 14 years later. He gave the best fulfilling almost the 12 qualities I ask for a wife.
