A Strong Woman vs A Woman of Strength

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...
A woman of  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...

You are so special to me

You always see the best in me

Even when I'm at my worst

You make me feel more valueable

Than I believe I'm worth

You've changed my life

In so many wonderful ways

You've added something special

To all my nights and days

You've given me love that unconditional

Always show me that you care

You've given me friendship that is beautiful

And devotion that is rare.

Thank you for all that you are

For sharing your life with me

And letting me into your heart

I hope that one day,I can give back

All that you've given to me!

What Life is

Life isn't about keeping score.
It's not about how many friends you have.
Or how accepted you are.
Not about if you have plans this weekend or if you are alone.
It isn't about who you're dating, who you used to date,
or how many poeple you've dated, or if you haven't been with anyone at all.
It isn't about who you have kissed. It's not about sex.
It isn't about who your family is or how much money they have,
or what kind of car you drive, or where you are sent to school.
It's not about how beautiful or ugly you are, or what clothes you wear,

or what kind of car you drive, or where you are sent to school.
It's not about how beautiful or ugly you are, or what clothes you wear,



what shoes you have on, or what kind of music you listen to.
It's not about if your hair is blonde, red, black, or brown.
Or if your skin is too light or too dark.
Not about what grades you get, how smart you are,
how smart everybody else thinks you are,
or how smart standardized tests say you are.
It's not about what clubs you're in or how good you are at "your" sport.
It's not about representing your whole being on a piece of paper
and seeing you will "accept the written you."

But, life is about who you love and who you hurt.
It's about who you make happy or unhappy purposefully.
It's about keeping or betraying trust.
It's about friendship, used as a sanctity or a weapon.
It's about what you say and mean, maybe hurtful, maybe heartening.
About starting rumors and contributing to petty gossip.
It's about what judgments you pass and why.
And who your judgments are spread to.



It's about who you've ignored with full control and intention.
It's about jealousy, fear, ignorance, and revenge.
It's about carrying inner hate and love, letting it grow, and spreading it.
But most of all, it's about using your life to touch or poison
other people's hearts in such a way that could have never occurred alone.
Only you choose the way those hearts are affected,
and those choices are what life's all about.
