"Michell's Weekly Pearl"...(Ruining My Reputation)

Hi everyone! I've been on a hiatus for two weeks(you can read all about it in my previous post). :) I'm so glad to be back and I thank you for joining me for another edition of  "Michell's Weekly Pearl", where I seek Godly wisdom to offer encouragement. If this is your first time visiting, let me tell you a little about my advice series. This is where you can ask me anything on marriage, women's issues, family matters, relationships, parenting, homemaking, or life in general. If you want an honest, biblically based, to the point answer; email me your questions via prowessandpearls@gmail.com (please put "MWP" in the subject area). I'll post your question, along with my answer, anonymously. Easy as that! To read all the questions and answers in this series, you can do so (HERE). 

Keep sending those questions in ladies!!! In the meantime, read on to see what "Ruining my Reputation" asked...
