"Be A Lady Worth Knowing."

My sketch today of Thoughtful Thursday is all about living a life worth knowing. As I sat in my last speech lecture on Monday, Janice Robinson gave us all a speech commemorating the past 4 months we have been together in class. One of the statements she said in conclusion was, "Be a lady worth knowing." Immediately my mind went right to the Proverbs 31 woman. Things such as, "Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." Or, "She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue." These are some things that really hit me this week as my semester was coming to an end. I thought back on all of the classes I took in my freshman year and wondered, "Was the teaching of kindness on my tongue?" Or was it more full of anxiety, complaints, selfishness, and gossip? (the list goes on, Praise Jesus for His covering of all my careless words!) I just stopped and had to ask Jesus to make me a woman worth knowing. A woman full of truth, grace, wisdom, kindness, and faithfulness. I want my life to be worth knowing because I am living in reflection of the One who is worthy of all praise, and honor, and glory. Just had to step back and think about the way I was living my life, and wanted to challenge you to do the same! So as you go throughout this brand new Thursday, just think about your choices, words, the way you respond, because we are here to glorify Jesus, and you can't lose sight of that today. So, as Janice would say, "It's the weekend. Make a difference in someone's life." Happy Thursday!
