Hey girls! Sorry I haven't written in awhile! I miss you all! I am sitting on a porch looking out over the mountains in the Dominican Republic it's gorgeous! Ok let's dive right in!
Proverbs 31:11- Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing in value.
How can we apply this to our lives right now??
Her husband has FULL confidence in her. That means that no matter what he can fully trust her!! He can trust her with hard responsibilities and to manage things; and he can trust her with sharing things with her!
This means that we should be so faithful and do things with integrity! No matter what! Even if it's a extremely hard task or responsibility people know that they can come to you because you are trustworthy and they know that no matter what you can get it done and they can fully trust you to do it! How awesome of a reputation would that be?? People have full confidence in you! In every area!
Every area!! hmm..that also means with our tongues!! Uh oh!! Hehe! When people share things with you, you keep it in confidence so as to not ruin their reputation or yours! I know this is so hard for us girls because we LOVE to talk..and often it gets into gossip, but how much better would it be for people to know you as someone they can come to and trust! And know that after they tell you the whole world won't know by tomorrow?
Full Confidence! People have no worries when they are around you because you put them at ease! And with this they lack NOTHING of value! In another translation it says "Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life." Wow! So we enrich people's lives through being trustworthy!
Be a person of integrity! It stands out!! Believe me! People will notice that no matter what they can trust you with anything! But don't just do it to be praised! God loves it when we show integrity! So it's a win-win-win situation! You are helping people, building a good reputation, and pleasing God! All at the same time!
So next time someone trusts you with something to do..don't just do it 100%!! Far surpass their expectations!! Let's GREATLY enrich people's lives!! That's why we're here!!!
I love you all!!

Ps..Oh yeah! My friend Jake reminded me of this too!! Can not forget this!!: Also, part of having full confidence is knowing that you won't have "wandering eyes." Looking at EVERY guy thinking hmm.."Is he the one".."Oh!! he is sooo cute!!" I do it alot! But it's a habit that we need to work on breaking so that we don't do this in our marriages!! So many people have told me that once they get in that habit of being "On the prowl" it is very harmful after marraige! So trust God!! He will bring that person to you! It's alot easier that way!!...now I have to majorly work on that too..so you all aren't alone!

Great post! Thanks for the reminder! It so hard for me to keep a secret but its something that i have def been working on!! love ya! cant wait to see you 2morro!
This may sound wierd coming from a guy but it didn't come out in this post and I think it belongs, infact it I think it needs to be in there.
Part of having full confidence is knowing that you won't have "wandering eyes". What I mean is you won't be looking around at all the other "cute" guys. You may think, "that's just natrual" or "I'm not married yet" but you CAN train your eye so that WHEN you DO get merried you won't have to deal with it then. If you think this just "goes away" when you get merried you couldn't be more wrong and you are in for a "rude awakining". I'm not merried but I have friends that are and I trust what they say about this so, be on your guard.
No wandering eyes, ;-)

That's soooo right on Jake!!!
I'll add it in;)Thanks so much!!
From a guy's perspective that's a HUGE part of having full confidence so I just had to say it.

You might want to re-read your PS in this post. I think you might've messed some words up a little.

yeah jake...sarah didnt have her little spell check right next to her! lol
Whoa!! Major spell check!! I must have been asleep! hehe! Actually my computer was really messing up then... Thanks for telling me!!
that's what assistants (friends) are for.
And Nat-a-lee, hu neeeds spel chek any way. Stop making fun of your (older) sister (mind you). She is doing this whole blog for you...... hence the title???? Think about it. I wish I had an older sister to take care of me like that.
S.A. maybe you should do a post on respecting those in athourity over you and or respecting your elders. Respect is a big part of "Full Confidence" too.
Wow, Sarah, I was just talking about this with a friend of mine! My Mom told me when I was about 15, that women only get ONE husband. All the other guys on the planet are supposed to be treated like brothers. Definitely something that takes practice.
Hugs, Sam
First of all, I absolutely love the whole idea behind this blog - something that is so needed in today's generations!! Wonderful thoughts and info you are sharing :) In regards to this post, it couldn't be more true! In my own life, I stopped concerning myself with finding THE ONE, and went on to pursue who Christ wanted me to be regardless. That is when I found my husband... because I wasn't looking :) He is my perfect match in every way and if I had been looking, hoping, seeking, "wandering" at all the guys going by, I may not have been available to receive the gift of my husband.
