the power of a woman

“Never underestimate the power of a woman”

Women are so resilient. I met a woman from India who was 40 weeks pregnant. She came to America to birth her baby because she had complications having her first baby so they recommended she come here, she told me she was here for 6 weeks to birth her baby then go back to India. Holy crap. Women are amazing. I think, hold up, no I KNOW for a fact we do not give ourselves enough credit for who we are. We allow so many things to tell us we are worthless or not valuable or weak. Social media constantly feeds the thought that already exists in our head that we aren’t beautiful enough, we aren’t fit enough, we aren’t fun enough. Guess what, I’m going to tell you something that I hope you will take to heart. You are enough. Actually, you are MORE than enough. You are strong enough to make it through that thing you thought you couldn’t. You are strong enough to walk through that two times over. You are strong enough. God created us so beautifully and wonderfully unique and strong. We have so much to offer this world. The world needs us. They need us to take a stand. They need us to take back our “strength”. Strong can mean so many things for a woman. Strong means raising babies, strong means loving the hurting, strong means taking care of people, strong means supporting other women, strong means supporting our men. Strong means standing up to everything that is telling us that we are less than and showing them that we are more than! Strong means respecting and loving our bodies and not giving them up to anything and everything. We constantly look for outlets to prove our strength, our worth, our value. When the truth of the matter is we have all we need inside of us already. We don’t need to look any different. We don’t need to change anything. It’s already there, and it can’t be removed. We find it by being real. By being honest. Raw, genuine. By not giving ourselves over to fear, and letting it rule our lives. By being vulnerable with people. Respecting ourselves enough to walk away from unhealthy relationships and set healthy boundaries. Being loving enough to pray for and work through issues in our relationships of the ones we love. Being strong enough to know when enough is enough. Being soft enough to know when to lean in. So ladies, let’s remember our true calling and become the women we are meant to be! No longer held back by fear, comparison, by rejection. When’s the last time you allowed yourself to be amazed by the beautiful strong human being that you are? When is the last time you let your all be enough? We don’t have to be perfect to be powerful. We are most powerful when we allow the world to see our flaws and how we accept them and make them part of our story. Remember, you have power to change the world! Start by loving and accepting yourself for who you are, and see how strength and love start to pour out of you! “She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭31:25-26‬ ‭
