Staying Busy.

I do a lot of thinking while I'm sewing.  I think about all kinds of things, and I think of a variety of people I know.  I spend some of my time in prayer.  I usually pray for my secret sister and then a list of people who come to my mind shortly after, but maybe instead I should be praying that in my being productive and sewing up dress after dress, and apron after apron, instead my work will be recognized as something that glorifies Him.  

"She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes.  She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.  She speaks with wisdom and faithful instruction is on her tongue.  She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness."  Proverbs 31:24-27

I haven't had the sales I'd like to have with my garments I'm selling.  I feel like I'm not as productive as I should be and although my internet time has slowed down immensely, I still feel idle sometimes.  Maybe I am to carry on, and spend my time sewing in prayer, and maybe I'm just supposed to be productive right now in making things, not so much in selling them.  Maybe my time to sell will come with warmer weather.  Whatever the case, Lord let me be more like this woman of your Word.  Let me spend so much time with you that I am filled with your wisdom, and it pours from my heart to my mouth, and let me be so in love with You that I can't help but share You with everyone I know.  Help me to be strong and of a good courage, not afraid, or weary.  Help me to show You to people, through my productiveness.  Please Lord, verse 31 of this same chapter says, "Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate."  Let this also be my reward, even if not today, please help me to see a hint of reward in what I am doing, and help me to hear your guidance and direction so that I can only do what pleases You.
