A dear friend mailed me the poem below on the day she left for Ecuador with her husband and 14 children to shine as lights for Christ in whatever way He chooses to use them. Please pray for this precious family. The Lord will know who you speak of.
Becoming a Woman of Excellence
A woman of excellence
Is what I long to be
Filled with your godly wisdom
So it is part of me.
A woman of integrity
No matter what I face
Standing up for righteousness
And for your saving grace
A woman of destiny
Living out your plan
Knowing where you'd have me walk
Being guided by your hand
A woman of promise
Standing on your word
Holding on to all the truths
While carrying out your work.
A woman of compassion
For the ones in the dark
Those that do not know your love
And have darkness in their hearts
A woman that will never
Compromise the faith
With what the world may offer,
But will keep the narrow way
A woman who loves Jesus
And will only follow Him
Gladly to give up the world
So His light can shine within
Lord, this is my earnest prayer
As a daughter by your grace
Grow in me these qualities
As I walk with you in faith.
~~~M.S. Lowndes
