What is a woman after God's own heart?

The description at the head of this blog talks about being a mother who lives a life following God's heart. Being a woman after God's own heart. This is a focus I really started to look at about half way through my college years. Once I was married I really started to look at this from a wife perspective and then once I became a mom I REALLY wanted to know what following God's heart meant for me as a woman. I yearn to be a woman of God. I desire this so much because in the last couple decades of my life, when I've found my "sweet spot" so to say has been when I was in complete obedience to God's will for my life. I use the phrase "sweet spot" to define doing that one or two things in your life that you know with all your heart, mind, and soul that you were created for for such a time as this. When I am in my sweet spot, my heart is in rhythm with God's, I have the most contentment, joy, and peace in my life. So when I talk about being a woman after God's own heart I am talking about being that woman who has found her place with God and are using your purpose to be a part of this world. Sometimes I am dead on with living in my sweet spot, sometimes I shift or make choices that sway me away. Either way, I never want to stop reaching for God's desires for my life. I never want to stop trying to live His purpose for me with each day I am given.
