A New Decade & A New Me! - Chapter 16

Now that we're in a brand new year and a brand new decade, I am now looking at life from a different point of view. I will no longer feel sorry for myself, no longer tolerate people I don't want to be around nor be around people that tolerates me and no longer plead with folks to be my friend. Either you are or you're not! I will no longer deal with drama-prone people or those whose sole purpose is to always put me down to make themselves look good.

The most important thing is for me to get right with God! I had lost some of my faith in '09 and now I have to gain it all back in 2010. I'm learning to open my heart for new opportunities and to meet new people. After reading the poem below, I pray that I become a woman of strength:


Strong Woman Vs. A Woman of Strength


A strong woman works out everyday 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 of strength...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 her best 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 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 confidence on her face

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.
