Woman of Strength

It is true that women possess various strengths, here, I would be referring more towards emotional and mental strengths.

There are many types of women whom I respect and admire. Following would be some examples (in no order of merit ...heheh) :


i) Women who can handle BOTH career and household, without a maid.
Not many women are able to do this , you know. Majority (if not all) of career women / female high fliers in SG who have families, have maids or at least, a mum or mum-in-law to assist. Please note I have nothing against that because I don't think I can cope without any assistance, if I have children in future.


ii) Women who have 'special' children.
Only God knows how they manage to take care and love their kids unconditionally.


iii) Women who have been abused and tortured yet , never give up on life.


iv) Women who are divorced, through no fault of theirs.
I cannot imagine life without my beloved (although I survived 27 years without him before we got married! Hee...)


As I grow older, I discover strengths in myself that I never knew existed or I never expected to have to 'exercise ' them.

Life problems exist in different modes and mediums that at times, you just don't realise how much strength you have to be able to handle them . You just do.

I thank God for blessing me with family and friends who provide that emotional support I need at times.

So women out there , celebrate your strengths! :)

With that , I leave you with this.....


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,
But 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...
