About Me
- Melissa M.
- I am a sinner saved only by the grace of God through Jesus Christ. I am the youngest of eight and was homeschooled by my two wonderful parents all the way through high school. My dad went to be with the Lord in September of 2006, and his passing has left a gap, but we treasure his life's godly legacy. This blog is a place for me to share my learning experiences, but it will also (more often) chronicle various events in my life, book and movie reviews, and theological quotes. As for the title and verse on my blog? I am not the excellent seamstress that this may imply, and clothing is not my focus, but I do aspire to follow God's Word and plan for womanhood. I liked the sound of this verse and thought it would lend to a good header, and I originally thought I would be doing more sewing projects to share! :) But life whirls by, and there is much more to learn than just sewing. I want to have the heart of the Proverbs 31 woman, which seems to be a woman of industry, quality, and care--God help me to so become!

"Reading a great work of literature can truly be likened to having a conversation with a great mind." -Jennie Chancey
"The career of motherhood and homemaking is beyond value and needs no justification. It's importance is incalculable." - Katherine Short
"No occupation in this world is more trying to soul and body than the care of young children. What patience and wisdom, skill and unlimited love it calls for.

"We are women, and my plea is Let me be a woman, holy through and through, asking for nothing but what God wants to give me, receiving with both hands and with all my heart whatever that is." -Elisabeth Elliot
“Why do women want to dress like men when they’re fortunate enough to be women? Why lose femininity, which is one of our greatest charms? We get more accomplished by being charming than we would be flaunting around in pants and smoking. I’m very fond of men. I think they are wonderful creatures. I love them dearly. But I don’t want to look like one. When women gave up their long skirts, they made a grave error…" -Tasha Tudor
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. - Proverbs 31:30

And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. -Genesis 2:18
"To nourish children and raise them against odds is in any time, any place, more valuable than to fix bolts in cars or design nuclear weapons." -Marilyn French
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. -Proverbs 31:27-29
My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary. -Martin Luther
Music is an agreeable harmony for the honor of God and the permissible delights of the soul. -J. S. Bach
A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence. -Leopold Stokowski
"If I could give you information of my life it would be to show how a woman of very ordinary ability has been led by God in strange and unaccustomed paths to do in His service what He has done in her. And if I could tell you all, you would see how God has done all, and I nothing. I have worked hard, very hard, that is all; and I have never refused God anything." -Florence Nightingale
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. - Phillipians 4:8
