Who do we think we are?

I'm Amy - and along with 6 other amazing women we have something to say! Proclaiming ourselves as Queens is maybe not the most humble thing in the world, but there is inspiration behind our name.
A good friend of mine, Big Sue, from my hometown gets so excited when I come back in to town to visit. She really makes a big deal out of me being there, much to the annoyance of her husband. He thinks it's very obnoxious and says, "Who do you think she is - the Queen of Sheba?". This scenario is pretty much true for how God feels about the women of His Kingdom. If we stray and come back to Him, he rolls out the red carpet and places a crown on our heads. We are all Queens to Him and we all qualify for His grace.

Living as a Godly woman in a secular world can be hard, especially if you have nobody to encourage you. We are 7 very different women leading very different lives and our hope is you will find one of us and say, "Hey - I feel the same way, I can totally relate!". You may not agree with all of us - but that is the point!
Each week we will take one topic and each day, one of us will express our viewpoint and write what God has put on our hearts to say.
Monday - Amy
Tuesday - Stacy
Wednesday - Coley
Thursday - Sarah
Friday - Joyce
Saturday - Kneka
Sunday - ElizaBeth
**Read our individual profiles to learn more about us!!**

Our first topic is Proverbs 31 - the Virtuous Woman.

Proverbs 31:10-31 is 22 verses of all the things we should be as a women of Christ and all the things we struggle to become as a women of the 21st century. At first glance, this virtuous woman has it all – she is perfection! How can any woman on planet earth - past or present - live up to that? Ever since Eve bit in to that apple, perfection is a concept that is not possible for any woman to uphold. God really doesn’t expect us to be or have it all does He? However much we wish it were true, do you know anyone who walks in the Spirit continuously? We will spend a few weeks discussing our individual views on what this passage of scripture says to us and how over a lifetime we can all become Virtuous Women in our own right.

Perfection.
Nobody is perfect but God/Jesus.
In the quote below I think that 'the hand of time' is God's hand. Without him there is no perfection.

"Perfection is attained by slow degrees; it requires the hand of time”
