Pursuit of Proverbs 31

I finished reading Pursuit of Proverbs 31 while on vacation this week. I want to share a couple of quotes that I liked from Chapter 7, page 88:

  • Success for our family will also be different from the succes of others.
  • Your plans should also change according to your seasons of life.

It is so easy to get sucked into comparison.  It is so easy to follow what others are doing rather than follow the path that God has called me to. Success is listening to God and follow His plan for me and my family.

I also have to be flexible. Every season in my life will look different. I have a 5 year old and a 1 year old. These days look very different from a year ago and from 10 years from now.

How are you defining success? Do you need to change your definition?
