I find my contentment in the Lord, and I praise Him for that. My salvation comes by God’s grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. I did not choose God, but by His graciousness He drew me to Him. I cannot earn, nor choose, favor from the Lord. Man’s purpose is for God’s glory. This purpose is our only value. God’s word is clear that man is nothing outside His Son, Jesus Christ. Without Christ, I have no peace.
The handsome guy in the picture with me is my husband, Barry. I am striving to be the help meet, and completer, he should have in me. My desire is to be Barry’s Proverbs 31 woman, as well as his “Rib”. We share a rich, full, life together – and we seek to honor the Lord with our marriage.
I am a member of Omaha Bible Church, in Omaha, Nebraska. Our pastor, Pat Abendroth, teaches in an expository manner and I am thankful that God has led me to a church that has helped me to grow in His word.
My faith is NOT works based, but I love that God has service planned in His will for me – and that His plan is for me to serve to His glory. I love serving the Lord through ministry to His body in our local church. (Local being subjective here – we are about 40 miles from our church and pass three mega-churches to get there)

God’s blessings are abundant – and they are more than I can ever deserve.
In His Grace, by His Grace,
Robin
Chapter 8 is a personification of wisdom as a woman. The personal pronouns, from “her” in the first verse to “me” in the last verse, are Lady Wisdom (8:1,36). She introduces herself (8:1-11); she describes the benefits of living by wisdom (8:12-21); she tells of being with God before and during the creation of the world (8:22-31); and she finally concludes by exhorting men to consider her great value (8:32-36).
