Last week I wrote a post on “Should Christian Families Teach Their Daughters Business?” and more or less randomly chose two of the best Proverbs 31 websites I could find to illustrate a point I was making. It’s so amazing how God leads us down pathways to show us things He has on His mind for us…. while we are focused on something else!
The point I wanted to make is not entirely an apology, because I don’t believe any wrong was done…but there was a mis-judgement in that blog that I wanted to clarify. The video I highlighted from Proverbs31-woman.com was offered with the implication that little emphasis is placed on the entrepreneurial qualities of the Proverbs 31 woman. While there isn’t the emphasis I’d like to see in this video, when I did my research (regrettably after-the-fact!) on the woman behind the video, I discovered that her entire emphasis is on the work at home mom!
Kathie Thomas is a delightful work at home ‘mum’ (from Australia) that is a beautiful example of an entrepreneurial Proverbs 31 woman. Another reason I felt the need to correct what I wrote was because her mission and work is very much worth taking a look at. Her book, Worth More Than Rubies: The Value of a Work At Home Mom
Another resource you might want to consider is her Proverbs 31 Forum where you can talk with other like-minded women. You can find more encouragement on her site, Proverbs31-woman.com where there’s a list of all the blogs she writes, writes for, and websites of hers….she really truly WORKS at home to accomplish all that! You’ll truly be blessed if you take a few minutes out of your busy day for a ‘Proverb 31 break’!
You can find a video of an interview of Kathie that will give you a good idea of her ‘vision’ and how she is following the desires of her heart at:
Be blessed!

Thank you for dropping by again! No, I didn’t homeschool – in fact I’d never heard of that till I was very active on the web. But I have been home fulltime since early 1994 and brought up 5 daughters and ran a very successful home based business during that time. I still run that business today and my girls are now in their 20s. I thank God He took me on a path in my early working days that developed skills I could bring home to use in a real business. And now I coach and train others to do the same. Bless you,
