I have come to discover through the teachings from the Holy Spirit that the space between being a lady and becoming a wife is ENCOUNTER WITH THE LORD.  The mindset of a wife, the attitude of a wife, the planning of a wife, the concept and perception of a wife and manner of approach of a wife is totally different from a lady.  A wife mentality is future considerate in every decision but a ladies mindset is now and now. She wants it now!.  A lady wants to survive but a wife takes her time to invest in her self. She is conscious of her journey in life than the present comfort.  Becoming a wife is not by wedding grown or engagement ring on your finger. It's a total experience of life and mindset. It's not even possible to be translated from being a lady into becoming a wife without a DIVINE ENCOUNTER with the Holy Spirit.   The bible stated it that, he that finds a WIFE finds a good thing and obtain favour from the Lord.  It's not he who finds a lady.
