VIRTUOUS WOMEN'S FELLOWSHIP MINISTRY



To meet the spiritual, physical, and
emotional needs of women by
Equipping, Encouraging and
Empowering them through the
word of God.

By engaging them in fruitful and
fulfilling service to our Lord,
believing that every woman is
gifted by God and should have the
opportunity to develop that gift.

By the daily transforming,
renewing and strengthening of our
mind and spirit and spreading the
love of Jesus to others.




Many ladies tell me that the Proverbs 31 Woman intimidates them.  The list of characteristics of a woman that can be taken from the passage is just
overwhelming.

Now that I'm older I find now that I look at the Proverbs 31 Woman as a string of pearls. Each characteristic that she embodies being a pearl on the strand
of our life. We don't just automatically have the whole strand put together. Some of us are half stranded! Many of us are long strands, some short
bracelets, and all are a work in progress.

I know some women that get just over wrought that they will never attain the Proverbs 31 Woman example for their life. We've got to face that it is
something wonderful to strive to attain but we'll only always be Proverbs 31 Wantabe's. It's like anything else in our lives; we've got to work at it. We've got
to work at becoming a good mother, good cook, good wife, and all those other things. Some women are saved later in life and they don't start working on
their strand of pearls till late in their particular life. All the characteristics or our 'pearls' don't come naturally to us. Some do, but with others we have to
work hard to string that thread through the pearl to pull it onto our strand. Sometimes our pearls get loose and a few fall off and we have to work to thread
them back on to our strand.

Keeping our life in tune with Christ daily is a big part of making our qualities as women something that reflects Christ, so we've got to work at keeping that
in check. Our Bible reading, prayer life, and fellowship with the Lord is what allows us the ability to take that thread in our hands and strand our 'pearls' as
we go through life. It makes us the strong and vibrant Christian woman that is a beautiful strand of pearls in the end.  So, are you threading your pearls?
