becoming a Proverbs 31 wife

"Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies. The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days of her life. She seeks wool and flax. And willingly works with her hands. She is like the merchant ships, she brings her food from afar. She also rises while it is yet night, and provides food for her household, and a portion for her maidservant. She considers a field and buys it; from her profits she plants a vineyard. She girds up herself with strength, and strengthens her arms. She perceives that her merchandise is good, and her lamp does not go out by night. She stretches out her hands to the distaff, and her hand holds the spindle. She extends her hand to the poor, yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household is clothed in scarlet. She makes tapestry for herself; her clothing is fine linen and purple. Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land. She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies sashes for the merchants. Strength and honor are her clothing; she shall rejoice in time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness. She watches over the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: "Many daughters have done well, but you excel them all." Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, And let her own works praise her in the gates." Proverbs 31:10-31

i want to be that kind of wife. a wife who's heart is after the Lord. a wife that wants to please God, make her husband happy, and care for her children with a happy heart. a wife that is known by her character and love, rather than her beauty. a wife that cannot be replaced in her husband's mind. a wife that is happy because she does as the Lord has called her to do and finds joy in doing so...i want to be invaluable to my hubby, i want to be diligent in everything i do, i want to be important to my family, i want to be considered insightful and influential, but most importantly i want God to be able to use me as an instrument. i want my family [and others] to see God's love through the way He has called me to love and care for them.
