As the Lord has set all things in motion, we see repetitive cycles in many areas of our lives, including those of a godly woman. (Test yourself HERE to the biblical gospel.) I'll share some of my duties with you as a godly woman out here in van life on the gospel road. I saw this shopping list in a grocery store parking lot as I was walking back to the van.  I saw it while walking through a grocery store parking lot heading back to the van. Gone are the days when everyone wrote things down on paper....saying that makes me old lol. I remember the day when typewriters were manual and you had to push really hard on each key to have the little striker smack the ink strip on the paper to make the letter or number mark on the paper. Like this one I saw in a thrift store.  It's pretty incredible how technology is now vs then....fingers tapping a glass screen (or speech text) and messages being sent in an instant.  Nectarines were .76 cents each so I weighed a few of them to see if it would be a good deal and took a few of the heaviest ones.  We were doing a witness walks through a store and a worker man was giving away chip samples so we each got a little tray and the man got the gospel. As I was eating mine, an older woman was smiling and said something about how we have to treat ourselves. I told her about the samples and she thanked me then asked if I was a Christian (I was also flying my gospel bag) and she got truth, as well as other encounters we had in the store. Simple witness walks end up being fruitful in the Lord with the word going out.
I was blessed to go through a store that is known for discounting produce, meat, yogurts etc (you can see the discount lettuce in the pic) and in there I found more of these tuna packages for $1. I'll admit, I can get a little bit more plain tuna in a can for that price but we appreciate having some of these on hand to toss on top of lettuce for a fast but filling meal. In van life, they're great if you're in a spot that you can't go outside and drain off the smelly tuna water (like in a downtown area when we're getting ready to fly signs) because they're ready to eat from the package. They also have things like beans, corn, quinoa, pasta etc in them, depending on which one you get. This goes along with my comments over the years for women to have a stash of 'convenience foods' that you can quickly whip up a meal in minutes, this is one of mine.  I saw these mugs in a thrift store and lined them up to take a picture. I think there's normally one more that says love but I could be wrong on that. Anyway, They would be nice for a true godly woman to have but sadly these are mostly used by people who worship the Lord with their lips but their hearts are far from them. These are like suggestive mugs that people can embrace as something of their own. I have hope! I have peace! I believe! That's good enough for me! I ask... Hope in what or who? Peace in what or who? Belief in what or who? I'm sure we'd get an assortment of answers, most of which would say Jesus or God but then there'd also be the new agers, earth worshipers, Buddhists etc referencing their god(s) or savior(s). Just a warning, beware of giving such things to people who profess being of the Lord but deny Him in their lives by living in sin. You don't want to mislead them into thinking they are part of Him when they need the gospel instead of mugs. Ponder that.  I did a witness walk through an outdoor shopping mall and saw this in one of the windows. It's referring to 'more' rewards but I thought about how the world wants 'more more more' of everything to satisfy the flesh.  Godly women are not immune to such things and we all have to be careful to not get swept away in 'more' if it's not needed. Having things, more than you need, isn't necessarily sinful until they become idols, or you covet them or covet more or they take up so much of your time that you can't do what is most important. Ponder what material things you have and see if there are 'more' than you need and if they are sweeping you away. I saw this laundry basket and it made me smile.  Sometimes it feels like that doesn't it...especially if you have a large family:) Keep going on your good works because even though they are the same every day (most often) they are good works if done heartily unto the Lord! Let's give God glory for some of His MANY flower creations! More Titus 2 works below and some pics have recipes connected to them if you click the pic. Comments are closed.
