Today's Proverbs 31 Woman

The single christian woman in the new millenium is not perfect and has made her share of mistakes.
She may be single by choice or simply because she hasn't met her Mr. Right, yet.
She may be divorced or widowed but for whatever reason she is now considered single.
She's a strong woman, who enjoys a challenge.
She doesn't mind attempting to fix things around the house but realizes
there are times when she needs help and is not afraid to ask.
She sets goals for herself and works toward Godly characteristics.
She, like most people has fears,
but realizes the only way to overcome a fear is to face it head on.
She can be very opinionated when it comes to moral issues and stands strong in her beliefs.
She is there for her friends and is willing to help in any way she can.
She needs love and affection and is willing to give it in return.
As difficult as it is, she resists sexual temptation because she believes God blesses sexual purity.
No matter how tempted she may be she never chases after a man
but is willing to wait and let God lead him to her.
She has learned that she doesn't need a man
but wouldn't mind having one around for companionship.
She likes to have fun and enjoys being active.
She lives life to it's fullest.
She knows what she wants out of life and is not afraid to go after it.
She can take care of herself financially.
She does not give in to loneliness, instead she treats her time alone
as a gift from God and uses it to draw closer to Him.
She sees it as an opportunity to get involved in the church.
She sees her relationship with God as a race.
She takes off running at a steady even pace, set to go the distance.
She doesn't quit or even look back until the race is won.
Then and only then does she turn to see who has been able to compete with her.
Any man who has endured the race and gone the distance
is a suitable companion for marriage.
Until that special someone comes along, she knows God is always there
to fill in the gaps and meet her needs when no one else can.

I do not consider myself to be this woman but would like to strive toward it.
