A few questions/comments that stuck out to me today in my reading…
What is a woman of strength?
How does a woman balance femininity and strength?
Proverbs 31:25
She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
Nothing is so strong as gentleness: nothing so gentle as real strength. -St. Francis De Sales
We pray that you’ll have the strength to stick it out over the long haul-not the grim strength of gritting your teeth, but the glory-strength God gives. It is strength that endures the unendurable and spills over into joy, thanking the Father who makes us strong enough to take part in everything bright and beautiful that he has for us. -Colossians 1:11-12 (MSG)
No profound point or attempt to tie this all together.
My name is Rhonda. I am blessed to live in a beautiful place out in the country with my wonderful husband. In addition to our "real" jobs (I work at a garden center and he is a teacher), we have a small farm where we raise vegetables, eggs and chickens to sell at local Farmer's Markets. We are currently fixing up/remodeling a house into which we will soon be moving...hopefully. In my free time, (what is that?) I enjoy traveling, cooking, crafty projects, reading and watching the sun set on the hills.
I really don’t see it as being any different than Josh’s analysis of the male side of this same question in his last blog entry.
