I really learnt a lot from this chapter, things that I can apply to my life, the first point that stood out to me was that a V-Woman - if she wants something done well she will do it herself, because no one can do something like the way you can, she knows what is important, she prioritizes and nothing comes before her priorities. Sometimes as women, as we are so busy, if we are not focused we can lose sight of our priorities and start putting the more important things further down in the list without realizing.
In the chapter, the V-Woman is also referred to as a dynamic woman, a woman who can do many things at once, multi-task. Women are known for their skill to multi-task but for some i thing it is a skill that needs to be acquired, practiced, learnt. However a women learns or manages to multi-task, in this day in age i believe it is a necessity, a need, with so many things to do and so little time i don't think women can afford to be without this skill.
The chapter also spoke a lot about time, that the V-Woman plans her days and weeks ahead of time, she is fast and gets things done! Procrastination is something i personally battle with a lot which is quite strange as i am a person that likes to get things done. I think the biggest issue is that there are so many distractions to your goals to what you want to achieve or what you want to do that it keeps getting put off, the V-Woman, as i wrote is fast and gets things done. From this i can see that she does not waste her time with distractions but always puts her hands to work. She is efficient and finds better ways to do things in shorter amounts of time and she hates to leave things undone. She always strives to do better then the day before.
An example of this in the Bible is Mary and Martha.
Martha forgot her priorities, her priority should have been to sit with Jesus, to choose the 'best part' as He said Mary did, instead she was too busy trying to fix the house etc. If Jesus came to my house, i would drop everything to sit at His feet and listen, oh what a privilege!! but Martha did not see it like that, she was more concerned with the physical things. My Priority is my relationship with God, but if we as women become too busy with the physical things, we will lose sight of what should be first place in our life and this can damage us greatly. The important things will not seem as important anymore because what we are busy working on seems like the most important thing at that moment.
When we have a lot to do in a small space of time, we can feel like we are losing control - i know i have felt like this before - so much so that we can lose control of our tongue, we do not think of what we are going to say resulting in saying things that we do not mean and that can be hurtful.
We need to know our priorities, if our Spiritual life is not in check, it will reflect in our lives as chaos and mess.
Know what comes first! Set your priorities straight!
God Bless,
