She is up before the sun, preparing her family for the day ahead. She cares for them with love and joy. She does not complain. She holds the family together. Without her, things would not function. Her name is Rima from Chadyr-Lunga, Molodva. She is a wife of a pastor, mother of six and for the past month, mother of twelve. 

 This woman makes three full meals a day all while tending to the farm, feeding and cleaning up after the animals. She makes fresh bread daily. Everything her family eats is organic and natural. I could end this story right now and you would understand how strong and loving this woman is but there is so much more to her than what she does.

 Through out the day I’ll find her just sitting in the living room on her brown and yellow floral couch, under the dim lamp, studying the bible. When I first saw Rima, I wanted to curl up next to her, lay my head on her lap and be at peace with her. She studies english, her children all know five languages. When she speaks she speaks with grace and softness in her voice but yet the words she says go deep, each telling stories.  Rima is a REAL woman of God. A true example of what God designed us to be. Rima loves and forgives and loves and forgives all over again. She shines. I see Jesus in her. She is a living example of a Proverbs 31 woman!
