"She has a life about her"

"She has a life about her"- this is how one christian guy I know described the woman he is looking for.
I've been thinking about that phrase. What does it mean and do I know women like that?

I think as women we are so quick to complain. Proverbs wouldn't be littered with verses on this if it weren't true back from the beginning of time. I also know a lot of women that are discontent. God has given me such a vision and such a desire to help women and I even had my good friend this morning describe her thoughts. she told me "I'm called to work with women" and what that looks like I don't know. But I do see a life about her since she became a christian. She is happy and trusts God that He has a plan even in situations that are concerning. I'm thinking that's what that phrase means. Someone who is confident in Gods plan and trusts Him. completely. I'll say that I do trust Him, but have I eliminated worrying from my life- NO. In an effort to not be complaining and sad I found that I just restrict giving my opinion. I found that if I stopped saying all my fears and worries outloud they didn't seem as big. But if they were just in my head I could say to myself "Thats not actually true what your fearing. God has a plan and it's perfect. Just trust that."

If your a woman and you find yourself having a hard time having a light about you-- FIRST ask God for help. Ask Him to help you be more like Christ. In the meantime try not voicing every thought you have. Finding the good things can help to change your way of thinking.

So friends. Try looking for the positive in your day. :) Have a life about you that makes people wonder about you. That life that only comes from the Holy Spirit. It's something so attractive but can't be done alone. :)
