Are You a Strong Woman or a Woman of Strength? <\/b><\/i>
By Dee Cheeks<\/p>\n

A strong woman works out everyday to keep her body in shape…
But a woman of strength builds relationships to keep her soul in shape<\/p>\n

A strong woman isn’t afraid of anything…
But a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of fear.<\/p>\n

A strong woman won’t let anyone get the better of her…
But a woman of strength gives the best of herself to everyone.<\/p>\n

A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future…
A woman of strength realises life’s mistakes can also be unexpected blessings, and capitalises on them<\/p>\n

A strong woman wears a look of confidence on her face…
But a woman of strength wears grace.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
