Meet our First Lady — A Proverbs 31 Woman

There was a Woman’s March in Washington, D.C. but one woman was not marching. Her name is Melania Trump, the First Lady of the United States. But that does not mean she did not have a long journey from the small Slovenian railroad town of Sevnica to the White House.

Melania has known poverty, living under a tyrannical and oppressive communist regime, she has known hard work, failure and success and is the second First Lady in over 200 years who immigrated to the United States.

QPolitical.com’s NPO wrote an article about Melania titled “Melania Trump Reveals Her Heartbreaking Journey To Achieving The American Dream.” In it NPO wrote, “Although the famous former model seems to have it all, Melania’s testimony tells the story of someone who’s struggled against all odds — and overcome.”

NPO wrote, “The mystery that comes with her reserved personality makes Melania an easy target for liberals as articles labeling her as a ‘mannequin’ and condemning her silence are published daily… When I learned the TRUTH about Melania Trump, I realized she was the living definition of a Proverbs 31 woman — the kind of First Lady that America has been deprived of for far too long.”

NPO noted:

Melanija Knavs was born on April 26, 1970 in the small Slovenian railroad town of Sevnica — long before she changed the spelling of her name to pursue a modeling career.

Despite the struggles many Slovenians faced during the country’s Communist times, the Knavses worked extremely hard to give their children a positive upbringing.

Melania’s mother, Amalija Ulčnik, worked developing patterns at a factory that manufactured children’s clothing. She had met Viktor Knavs in 1966 who worked as a chauffeur for a nearby town’s mayor.

They instilled Melania and her sister with conservative values such as putting family first and having exceptional work ethic. After looking at the picture of Melania’s parents below, it’s clear she inherited their timeless good looks too!

While pursuing her degree in design and architecture, Melania remained focused in school. She didn’t drink, or party, nor did she smoke. Even with the temptations surrounding her as a college student and successful model, Melania lived a quiet homebound life.

Below is the official White House biography of our First Lady. We commend it to you so that you may learn that she is a mother, wife, has the IQ of a genius and is a woman worthy of respect.

As Proverbs 31:25 says, “She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.”
