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 herself to everyone...

A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future;
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.
