I look at her as a woman who is a hard worker that loves God and who cares for her family. You can be a woman who shows these same characteristics in ways that work for your life and your family. I relate to her on the early rising though, I’m my best self at the crack of dawn!

Interesting perspective Tiffany. The Proverbs 31 woman is a woman of God giving her best for God, family and people. Every woman should strive for those things (Best for God, family and people). Thus in a general sense the Proverbs 31 woman is an excellent model in Christ to pursue. Lastly, a boy of 5 cant put out the same quality as a man of 30, why? Because the boy is young and growing. The same is true for every man and woman today. Strive for Proverbs 31 but don't lose yourself in the process by hammering yourself for not measuring up. It's truly simple: love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and your neighbor as yourself. Which means give your best to God and people in love. That doesnt mean we copy another person to the T. But we each do our best in Christ; excellence for God. Always remember God knows what Tiffany's best in Christ looks like, acts like, speaks like, feels, etc. God won't say to Tiffany during final judgement, Tiffany you didnt measure up because Ruth, Mary and Martha out performed you. Nope! Nope! He won't ever say that! God will look at your savior, Jesus Christ and whether your profession of faith resulted in a changed life in pursuit of Christ by way of obedience by living faith thus resulting in the embodiment of the Holy Spirit within you. Keep seeking, knocking and asking! Love ya sisters! God Bless.
I disagree with you. This is the reason why the woman in Proverbs 31 is so rare is that she does the will of God and not making any excuses. Do not be conform in the world just because you cannot do what the bible says. May the Holy Spirit reveal to you what is right and just to Him not on the world :)
I really like what you wrote and I totaly agree with you. It's like to say to aim to be more like Jesus to a child of God even if he/she will never come close to that perfection while living on this earth. But still the bible calls us to do so because it's the only way to know better God/improve the relationship with Him and to grow as a beliver.
Note on that: In the Jewish tradition Proverbs 31 actually is read by the father of the house to praise his wife and remind the sons what a wonderful mother they have and that they should honor her. So it is more like an exemplary praise, encouraging men to value what the woman of the house does. So that is how I've been looking at it ever since hearing that. Thanks for all your insight! I love listening to you!! :)
Thank you for sharing the background of where the Proverb 31 women came from. Frankly I was and still am shocked by the number of people who believe that she was a real person. I always point out that most likely you wouldn't find a women who owes land, has servants and wears fine linens also selling goods at the market.
Latifah Davis hahaha I’ve never thought of that-that this woman probably wouldn’t be at the market. It’s true - I thought she was a real woman for a long time!!
This doesn’t really have to do with the video, but I would just like to make a comment about the chapter. So many girls use this passage as just a way to feel good about themselves. Like “Don’t worry, sweetie, Jesus loves you, ur beautiful, beauty is on the inside💞😤.” Which is ok. God made us in his image. You’re right. But this chapter is so much more powerful than that. It calls for so much more action, not a passive realization or self-acceptance. It calls for us to be strong, courageous, hardworking, generous, loving, kind, heart drowning in God’s spirit, recklessly in love with God. Whenever I read this I just feel so strengthened and emboldened. And I don’t feel strong in my own self, my God-given beauty, or a feministic sense of strength, I feel like God can do anything through me. It makes me want to work hard, and be wildly enthusiastic my love for God, yet also be gentle, and have a sense of quietude, a beautiful peace in me that I don’t need to be this big powerhouse of good deeds, but instead a heart that is grossly in love with God. It makes me be thankful for being made a woman. So many girls live their life thinking, “Men have it so much easier, life sucks to be a girl, blah blah blah.” No. God gave us so different and so special. When a woman makes it her heart’s desire to honor God above all else, it is gorgeous. That’s all I have to say.
Love your perspective on this!! You have such a gift for teaching Gods word!! This was great, and we all need to remember not to live in the shadow of anyone! - Est X

Hahaha I love that last sentence: let her sleep for when she wakes she will move mountains. I also need a lot of sleep and when I only sleep 7-8 hours a lot of people are like: that's a lot. And I'm like: I'm tired all day now! So yeah, no getting up before dawn for me too 😂
Thank you so much for this!! I struggle with trying to do it all and I'm no proverbs 31 gal either, I'm messy and have accepted that The Lord has fearfully and wonderfully made me! I am subscribed and cannot wait to watch more! Thank you for being so real, there are a lot of women that needed that message, included myself who is still up at 4 am modpodging instead of cleaning for Christmas Eve guests to arrive 😂 It is totally well with my soul and I am going to rest in that message tonight ❤️

Amazing. This made me so happy that I had to watch it twice. I thank God for His message through our sister, Tiffany. I'm now at peace realizing that I really am not the Proverbs 31 woman. 😘😍 What made me feel blessed is the fact that God wants me to be myself and that I don't have to measure up to the women in the Bible. As a single mom who always fall short, I bow down to my knees crying to God for forgiveness for failing Him and I cry for help. I thank the Lord for the passion He placed in my heart to always seek Him.
SELFLESS LOVE! Isn’t it amazing??? My best friend got it for me for Christmas one year! I think she found it at Hobby Lobby. It hangs in my bedroom which I figure is quite fitting. 😂👌
Yesss!! I definitely feel so much guilt for not being this perfect proverbs 31 woman. It’s so much pressure that feels so unfair. It’s especially distressing when you have depression and suffer from so much fatigue and sorrow and are overwhelmed just doing the dishes. Thank you for this video.
I love your take on this and I’ve also felt overshadowed by “31 status”. I also think, for myself, taking the attributes of the 31 woman into account helps me keep on track. We can’t follow her as a blueprint but we can use her as an example of hard work and love.
Thank you! I also need a lot of sleep. I've never been able to get up before the sunrise regularly as an adult. It's easy to be hard on myself. So it's nice to hear this perspective and encouragement!
This is so good! Often times I think like .... hmmm I don’t dress my family in fine linen. BUT I’m dressing my family and making sure they have clean clothes. That’s enough. Great video girl.
Loved it! Thank you! I am always up at the crack of dawn getting my praise and worship on and in prayer and my Word but... I'm stubborn ( 😕), opinionated, and far from being quiet and humble (Not in a bad way lol) But I've always felt like I could never hold a candle to the Proverbs 31 woman. Thank you for pointing out that I'm NOT meant to be her. That I'm meant to be ME, Katherine Learning from this woman with the characteristics of Christ God bless you sister
THIS & THAT with KAT GARDEA love this! Yes I always wished I could be quieter cause I thought that was what Christian women were supposed to be like. But now I realize my louder, very talkative personality is a gift!
I think we either believe the whole bible or we don’t. It’s scary you are teaching not to glean from the scripture of Proverbs 31. I think we have to take into consideration that this was written before Christ and so now we have Holy Spirit and His guidance as to how God crested each of us and how Proverbs 31 speaks to me as an individual...shouldn’t be taken out of context or in this case taken line for line. As a whole I believe it’s an outline of characteristics of a virtuous woman. You seemed to take this so literal instead of leaning on Holy Spirit just to get laughs and clicks.
Seriously you have inspired me to make a christian youtube channel! God has been nudging me to make a channel and your videos are just pushing me to make one. So excited! God bless 🙏🏻💕
So good!!! I'd love to hear you share more in the future about having less energy than others and how you cope! Would be so helpful for those of us who share your need for lots of sleep :)
I relate, I medically also need about 8-10 hours of sleep per night lol. I love your perspective on this, I use to compare myself to other Christian girls but in reality I am enough because of who God made me.

Thank you so much, Tiffany! This was so great, it actually brought me to tears for some reason. Until now I thought I was the only one, who saw that Proverbs 31 woman was a business woman. Many American preachers say that she was a home maker, which I really cannot see in this text. It is true that God made us all unique, with a unique purpose. We have to see Him and ask from Him, what is our purpose and how are we to live. I really enjoy all of your videos, they have really good insights. Thank you!
I love this video sooo much Tiffany!! I totally fell into the trap of feeling like I had to be exactly like the proverbs 31 woman. But I love everything you said, yes there is so much we can learn from her but we don’t have to be exactly the same as her. Your videos always inspire me and remind me of how much God loves me! ❤️❤️
Yassss the ending was everything and super sassy, cute and confident!! I love it 😊👸🏻 & This new hair color looks so good on you. You look so gorgeous in this video
I love this. I have always felt like I could never be this proverbs 31 woman and because of that I felt less. Until my sister told me let the word of God talk to your life personally. Your video only confirms that. Be who you are and allow God to change you if needed NOT to be Mrs. Proverbs 31 but to be a better version of who you are called out to be. Listening to you is always a blessing!😘😘
I love this video! I'm like you - I need sleep and I'd be too stressed out if I tried all this. But, I know people who do and I get the feeling from them that 'I'm better than than you are because I can do everything the Proverns 31 woman does! Now, you should do all that, too!'
God wants us to be ourselves? Then why does He call us to put off the old self and take on the new self when we become Christians? Also, as you mentioned how Proverbs 31 is a poem, it shouldn't be taken completely literally. Just like how in Songs of Solomon when the king describes his beloved; if what he said was taken literally, she would actually look ridiculous! All of what he said was symbolic of not her actual physical appearance, but more of her virtue. So for the Proverbs 31 woman, here are the themes from the poem that can be taken from it; - A Godly wife is rare and is a true blessing from God - A Godly wife works hard to do what is best for her family; both within the home and outside the home. - A Godly woman respects her husband and inspires him to be the best possible version of himself. - A Godly woman respects God and his commands, and raises her family to follow in the footsteps of her faith. In these key cases, Godly husbands are practically called to do the same but in their own ways. So in reality, women should actually aspire to be like the Proverbs 31 woman in terms of her character, but not necessarily in her actions.
I really appreciate your perspective on this. I struggle so much with comparing myself to others -- physically, spiritually, socially, etc. I really like that is more of a guideline to character traits to look for in a woman. And I would even dare to say that they're not the characteristics of just woman -- I think any of these characteristics would be good ones to have in a woman. Some people have multiple talents, and some people only have one that is really their strong point.
I so appreciate what you are saying, and I believe that you have some good points, I just wonder if some of what was said could be put differently. Because what you are talking about seems to be the difference between accurate and inaccurate interpretations of the Bible. We were not meant to take this part of scripture literally, but metaphorically as it is a poem. The whole point of the text is that she uses the unique gifts God has given her and does this diligently. Many words throughout the text translate to encapsulate many different areas of gifting (physical strength, wisdom, business savvy, teaching, and kindness). As Christians, all of the different traits listed are things that we are called do anyway all under the transformative power of God (hardworking, honest, caring, generous, etc.). I’m sorry this is so long, and I really appreciate your honesty in the video as I do believe we can get discouraged when reading these passages when we do not read them correctly. I’ve been learning in a class that we need to be careful not to read our own culture and ideals into the biblical text, but to make sure that we understand the specific purpose, message, medium and audience of the time and how that then can translate into our today. Sorry for how long that was. Thank you for going through the history and type of text this is. Some very good thoughts.
aww loved this video, thanks so much for sharing this! the end was amazing, super confident and at the same time so inviting and inspiring to become that woman God designed us to be! Ps:bought and read your book during Christmas holidays... tears, laughs and life changing advices, just thank you ❤
I'm not even a believer, but I really like your approach and the way you argument everything without offending anyone. I was starting to think people were insanely conservative and "my way or the highway" in the USA, but you show what religion means to you in a very positive way. I don't even share most of your ideas and still like you.
this really helped me i have always felt as thought God was calling me to be something that's not Proverbs 31 tradinalley, but a lot of the qualities of the Proverbs 31, are what i can apply to my life and is universal like you said, I really needed to hear this it really freed me to be who to be who God has called me to. As i always felt guilty for not being called to be a proverbs 31 as most of the women in my life have been the proverbs 31 women, but not me that's who God called me to be and i feel soo freed by that, finally I can be all that's God wants me to be#Godlygrilboss Thank You for this message love you, and i hope one day i can find a Husband like yours, who honours and respects and accepts me the way i am and beci=ming like yours, Your truly Blessed God bless You,
Girl me too! I sleep at least 10 hours and recently got a CPAP machine bc I stop breathing (i had no idea). And yes I have felt not good enough as a woman. Like i meed to be more. But I'm learning that i am wonderful as I am.

Thank you for this! I’ve always compared myself to her and had a complex about not measuring up. To make it worse, there’s a family member to look at IRL (to whom I already feel inferior) who seems to embody these traits. I’m going to pray that God teaches me what he wants me to learn from this passage.
I have always feel this way too. I dont want to be a Proverbs 31 woman, especially when these men not even a Proverbs 31 men. I am ok being who I am and I love being me. I dont want to be another woman neither do I want to copy her personality or charatcer, I have my own uniqueness and I am happy with me.
The foreign language Nannie might become a Hagar and you’d not comprehend the takeover. Guard what’s your, children, home, and what your in charge of--mainly your soul.
Hahahaha! I'm the same! 10 hours a night is what I aim for but not easy when you're a farmer 🐔🍆. Which explains why I'm just sitting on the couch watching your videos with my second coffee this morning. Thank God for coffee 🤗☕
You got to the right idea in the end, but I struggle with how you started. I see this as principles, not specifics. And while I love to sew, I am very grateful that I do not have to sew for my family to keep us all closed. I can keep my family clothed in other ways today... And the whole sleep thing.. we all need different amounts of sleep. But are we being lazy? That is a different question/thought. And I would disagree. I DO think we were meant to be her. Just not the EXACT details. These are principles.
But Tiffany, your last name is Dawn 🙊🤷 Jk 🤪😅 Pity Solomon didn't follow much of this advice. If a man wants a Proverbs 31 woman, he needs to be a Proverbs 1-30 Man.
Not a girl but.. this is dope. It’s crazy bc I feel like this scripture was meant to encourage women and it often times leads women to feel bad about themselves
A summary of Proverbs 31 is that women shall do all the work while men shall sit on the seat of judgement...ok...maybe that's a very literal interpretation from a twisted point of view...:)
We do not have to be ourselves, ourselves are corrupted and look only to satisfy our flesh, there is nothing good in ourselves. We have to be like Jesus. You really need to know God and Jesus from the bible no the god that you have made in your mind according to your thoughts, desires, flesh. Please read the bible and study the bible the way it should be without your own opinion.
You are so sweet, thank you! I actually do have a video about how I do my hair. Here's the link! :):) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZWxHHHRLC9E.html
I loved this video! I recently posted a video kind of along the same lines. It's called "A Challenge to all Christian Women" if you want to check it out. Many Blessings! ~Paige
