p.31:18

Proverbs 31:18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.

How many of you gals have had to get rid of spoiled rotten and forgotten food from the refrigerator? How many have come home with loads of fruits and vegetables you already had in the refrigerator? Do you know exactly what you own? How many pair of black shoes do you own, or will you end up buying black boots for this fall again? All in all, do you know what you already own? Many times, because we are so busy and sometimes too disorganized, we tend to go shopping for more of what we already have. This does not help us, specially those who are known to shop much. We overspend, we toss out, we do not wear all we own, and it all is a waste of resources. With this in mind, and today's verse, I encourage us all to perceive that what we owe is good. Make sure you have it because its a need, in some occasions a want, a desire. Then, make sure that it is not just there taking up space, and if its in good conditions, and that it was a good purchase. Be wise, know what good to buy with the money your husband, or even both of you, work so hard to save. Now, the second part, is both something I enjoy and dislike at the same time. Staying up late, I find that many times, my creativity flows like waterfalls at night, however, if I am dealing with something that I don't enjoy, it seems that staying up late is just beauty sleep wasted. You and I need to be focused and scheduled on what duties we are to do for the day and night, and if need be, we need to stay up late a little and get it finished. You won't be the first or the last one to have to do this to stay on track.
Shalom.
