For the Strong Women in My Life

A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape...
but a woman of strength kneels in prayer to keep her soul in shape.

A strong woman isn't afraid of anything...
but a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her fear.

A strong woman won't let anyone get the best of her...
but a woman of strength gives the best of her to everyone.

A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future...
but a woman of strength realizes life's mistakes can also be God's blessings and capitalizes on them.

A strong woman walks sure footedly...
but a woman of strength knows God will catch her when she falls.

A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face...
but a woman of strength wears grace.

A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey...
but a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong.

I'm very lucky to have such strong, motivated and beautiful women in my life. Keep being you, and whatever that evolves into. You're loved!

Hey Jamie - Your blog is pretty cool. Don't worry about "stealing" this, I think it's something that should circulate as much as possible and be shared with women everywhere, strong or feeling not-so-strong.
