Strong Women





Strong Women

by Kim Henke


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 avoides the same in the future-

but a woman of strength realizes life's mistakes,

can also be God's blessing 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
