QUICK REVIEW

MY STORY

  1. Do you read Proverbs 31:10-31 as a profile of lady wisdom or as a profile of the ideal wife?
  1. Why do you think we sometimes exaggerate the importance of natural talent and diminish the importance of the daily hustle?
  1. Pastor Brian spoke about the difference between preparation and pride (she is not afraid of the snow… she can laugh at the time to come). How do you differentiate between the two in your own life?
