Re: A humble introduction

The truth is this, friends. My betrothed (yes, he managed to pay my father the down payment) had posted a vile pornographic image somewhere on this Godly forum and when I he ordered me to defend him, the wise moderators noticed that I'd hidden the truth of my whereabouts and as my IP is the same as Philippe's, I was assumed to be a clone account.

I have confessed to Pastor Ezekiel and proven myself sorry for my lie. I do not want to lie but as I am yet unsaved, I'm afraid it is in my nature. I only hope that someday Jesus will no longer hate me for it.

Truth is, I am in Belgistan for a 'trial period' of three months. Since I am the only child in my family that still communicates with our father, he is not too keen on lending me out for any longer length of time yet.

Thank you, Pastor Ezekiel, for lifting my ban. I promise to read my KJV thoroughly, focus on my womanly duties and above all, to love Jesus and prove myself worthy of his love in return. I am truly fortunate for finding this wholesome forum.

God bless all of you.

I am very glad about that!

Praise Jesus and welcome, friend. What's your favourite Bible verse?

That's an difficult question, Brother Temperance. Every day I find something new in the Bible that puts me in awe. Today, however, while cleaning the house, I set my Mp3 player to read Proverbs 31:10-31 over and over and I must confess that I felt the need to pause in my work to cry tears of joy. God is wise indeed. I only hope that with enough dedication I may become a virtuous woman.

I know that it is a rather long verse but I feel the Lord telling me to quote it here so that other women may see it and benefit from His wisdom.

Proverbs 31: 10 - 31
10: Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
11: The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12: She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
13: She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
14: She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
15: She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
16: She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
17: She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
18: She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
19: She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
20: She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
21: She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22: She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
23: Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
24: She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
25: Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
26: She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
27: She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
28: Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
29: Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
30: Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
31: Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

Those are great teachings, Sister! A wise choice for a young woman. Philippe is a lucky man!

Re: A humble introduction

A beautiful quote Sister. More women should be forced to memorize this.

Re: A humble introduction

Brothers and Sisters, I apologize for my long absence but running the household has left me little time for socializing!

I was wondering if any of you might know of a good, cheap or free household management software that could help me to not forget anything. I've seen the household binders and while I love the idea, I fear that paper organizers have never worked for me.

I'm looking for something that I can use in much the same way as those household management binders. Any ideas?
