An Excellent Wife is Worth More Than Jewels

If you have time you should read the Scripture I posted below. My wife Amie has been amazing spouse as we prepare for Africa. She hasn't complained but has worked hard as we prepare to move to Kenya. The description below is very accurate of what she is accomplishing and sacrificing for our family. 31:15 says below that she rises while it is still yet night. Which is very true because her shift down at the Pilgrim Center starts at 6 am. She has my trust, she gives to those in need, and she is amazing at working with her hands.

I had to put this on the blog to show off her talent. She is selling handmade Coffee Cuffs down at the coffee shop here in Caronport. And is already having a bit of success with them.

31:29 is very fitting for my wife Amie, “Many women have done excellently,
but you surpass them all.”
