She started with wool and flax. What’s in your hands?

Hello Gorgeous!

Before she launched anything…
Before she sold anything…
Before she became a woman of influence…
She started with wool and flax.

Who is this? Let’s talk about it.

She is the Proverbs 31 woman.

She’s a picture painted in Scripture of a woman who is bold, wise, wealthy, and deeply rooted in God.
She’s known as a virtuous woman—one who runs her household well, speaks with wisdom, invests wisely, and fears the Lord above all else.

But here’s the thing no one tells you:

🔥 She didn’t start that way.

Proverbs 31:13 says:

“She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.”

That’s how her journey began.
Not with profit or popularity…
But with raw materials.

In ancient times, wool and flax were the starting point of something useful.
They were unprocessed, scratchy, messy.

Your wool and flax today might look like:

  • A story that still makes you cry
  • A gift you’re afraid to use
  • A draft on your computer no one’s ever read
  • A dream you haven’t dared to pursue

It may not look polished yet.
But it’s the beginning.

✨ That pain?
✨ That gritty idea?
✨ That quiet nudge from God?

That’s your wool and flax.

And just like her—you’ve got to pick it up and say:
“God, I’ll work with eager hands.”

Declarations for the Builder:

🧵 I will not despise small beginnings. (Zechariah 4:10)
🖋️ I commit to work with eager hands. (Proverbs 31:13)
🔥 My obedience is more powerful than perfection. (Romans 12:1)

Reflection Prompt:
What has God placed in your hands that you’ve been overlooking?
What story, pain, or idea feels “too small” to matter?

Bring it to the Lord. That’s your start. That’s your wool and flax.

✨ The Next Step: Pair it with hard work. She busily spins it! Meaning she wasn’t afraid of hard work.  She was willing to work hard to create something valuable.
