she who changes a nappy changes the world

A world changing mum knows that the world is bigger than just her family and the four walls of her home.
She knows that her short time as mum sows seeds for generations, and the potential of that seed to change lives is unending.
She creates the world how she sees it, how she dreams it.
She doesn't settle for the ordinary, but is continually pushing the boundaries to make things better.
She knows that every thing she does matters, from the small things to the big things, someone is always watching and learning.
She believes in the dreams of those she leads, she encourages their dreams and supports them to finish what they start.
She provides the best for her children, knowing they will learn (in time) to provide the best for others.
She doesn't shy away from poverty and illness, and is always ready to help others.
Her heart is stretched wide, accepting of differences, and always sharing what she has.
Though she is grieved by the injustice in the world, she has joy because she knows that one generation can change everything.
She prepares her children for their future.
She connects her children with their maker.
Though she fails at times, sometimes often, she puts her trust in her God who gives her strength, forgives her weaknesses and holds her close. She follows his lead and gives her life for others.

Searching for superwoman ...

Proverbs 31:10
"A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies. "

Seriously where is she?
The man who finds her is rich indeed!
Though I'm pretty sure it will be a life long search. She isn't made that way. She is formed and cut and moulded through trials and hard times, through patience and tears.
Amazed at how my man can see the treasure in me no one else can see. Funny how he finds superwoman in me, when I can't even seem to find my way through a pile of laundry.
Thinking about this week, who do I want to be? What woman do I want to be? I've been thinking about women in my life who inspire me and hoping to grab a few of the jewels they are arrayed in, for my own collection. We really can choose for ourselves.
"She wears a demeanor made of bright pretty things... what she wears, what she wears, what she wears..." Brooke Fraser
I'm hoping that as I go on my journey through life, that on the way I will find a wife of noble character in me, I'm hoping my husband and my kids will find her too. And that will be worth more than jewels, more than a beautiful home, more than Christmas presents.
