A scripture story

Yesterday, I went to read a scripture block on womanhood.  The reference was Proverbs 31:10-31.  I opened up my scriptures and began to read..." for my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed..." at this point  I was thinking that this isn't what I expected but ok.  It goes on and is so funny.  "I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbors, and a fear to mine aquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me (I'm thinking maybe I should make sure I do my hair and always get dressed before Aiden and I go out for a walk to get the mail)..."I am like a broken vessel"  I read for quite a while before I double checked where I was and it turns out I was in Psalms 31:10-31!!  Too funny!
So Proverbs is actually really nice scripture, you should read it.

As I am writing this, I went back to Psalms and I particularly like verse 9, it fits too!  "Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea my soul and my belly."
I don't actually know what they are actually talking about in Psalms but it paints a pretty funny picture if you read it expecting it to be about motherhood.

Thought this was just such a funny coincidence, I had to share.  Hopefully you all get a laugh!

Haha! I love that -hilarious. Wouldn't that be wonderful if it really was the scripture block on womanhood?
