A Rare Jewel
rubyrebel
"Who can find a virtuous wife? For her price is far above rubies." Proverbs 31:10

Oh to be a virtuous wife! I know what she looks like, how she speaks, how she loves her husband, and yet, reaching through the ages, I can still feel the kindred curse of Eve's desire to control...to know better than God, and lead her husband.

I desperately cry out with Paul, "O wretched (wo)man that I am! Who shall deliver me from this body of death?" Romans 7:24

And then another voice within me whispers, "Faithful is He who called you, who also will do it."

NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER GIVE IN!

We will press toward the mark of the high calling!

We will fail; we will do what we know not to do; but we will keep looking to the Author and Finisher of our faith.

Ponder today whether you are willing to be a rare jewel? Rare is different. But it is valuable. In a sense, we are to be "Ruby Rebels"

Being submissive to God is to be rebellious to the world, by default.

Good Morning! It's Monday and I'm busy cleaning out closets and moving furniture around. School is around the corner and I need a new look around here. Busy, busy, busy. Looks like you are having a fun summer. Enjoy!

I love the idea of being a Ruby Rebel.

About Me
My name is Kristine. I am a child of the Most High, helpmeet to a wonderful man, and a stay at home mother. I am also a classical christian homeschooler. I am reformed and covenantal in my theology and hold to the quiverful conviction. My husband is a minister in the United States Air Force and we currently have eight precious children, all of whom we consider blessings from the Lord.

    The Bible calls debt a curse and children a blessing; but in our culture, we apply for a curse and reject blessings. Something is wrong with this picture." ~ Doug Phillips
