Proverbs 31 Woman!
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears The Lord is to be praised. - Proverbs 31:30
Her family can trust her because she’s always trustworthy.
She gets home by her curfew, obeys her parents and keeps her word.
She’s easy to be around, and she makes other people’s lives better.
She expands her mind by being willing to learn different kinds of skills and subjects.
She gets up in the morning without being crabby and helps around the house even more that what’s required of her.
She knows the value of money and doesn't waste it.
She works hard and does her best at school, never settling for “good enough.”
Whatever she tries, she always has a good attitude and gives it her best shot.
She isn't lazy.
She is kind and compassionate to everyone, regardless of popularity or personality.
She looks for ways to help those who have less that she does.
She makes wise choices and thinks ahead so she won’t have regrets later.
Her family is proud of the choices she makes.
She carries herself with strength and dignity, not making a fool of herself.
She doesn’t gossip, gripe, lie, insult, or offer unwanted opinions.
She reads God’s Word and seeks Him for wisdom.
Her beauty doesn’t come from what she wears or how her hair looks.
Her personality is sincere, not self-gratifying and fake.
She is beautiful because she is filled with passion for God.

Also, this is a really cool blog to read...
I think there's more to the Proverbs 31 woman than people initially realize when just reading the passage. I've incidentally been reading a new book by Dr. Tony Evans and his daughter, Chrystal Evans Hurst, called "Kingdom Woman" that has really given me new insights. Right off the bat they talk about the Proverbs 31 woman being the hallmark of kingdom women, "But the Proverbs 31 woman is not the model of a perfect woman. Neither is a kingdom woman called to perfection. Women, you can be a Proverbs 31 woman and more - but that doesn't mean you do it all at the same time." They tlk about life flowing through seasons and about getting help, not trying to do it all. It's really eye-opening. If you're interested in Dr. Evans' book, they have information and free devotional downloads at kingdomwomanbook.com. I hope it blesses you as it has blessed me.
