Every moment of my day, I am either being a wise woman building my house or I am being a foolish woman, tearing it down with my own hands. There is no in between. My desire is to be wise. To build my house, my family...but far to often I see that my attitude, my decisions, my selfishness displays my folly. I do not want to tear my house down...and certainly not with my own hands. What a danger there is in foolishness. This blog is to give me a place to share my journey from foolishness into wisdom, from house destroyer into house builder.

Pr 19:12

"The foolishness of man ruins his way, and his heart rages against the LORD." Proverbs 19:12

Immediately when I read this, I thought of sin, our sin nature that we have even at birth. Our foolishness ruins our way. Even from birth our heart rages against the Lord.

But, Praise the Lord...that's not the end! We can be new creatures, if only we lay down our lives at the blessed foot of the cross. He will make us new. We can no longer be slaves to sin...rather we can be slaves to righteousness. Our heart does not have to always rage against the Lord...our foolishness does not have to ruin our way.

Prov. 1:7 - The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge...
Prov. 19:23 - The fear of the LORD leads to life...
