Strong women have feelings too.

Strong  independent women, type A personalities, usually a lil high strung. Women who have had to hold it together as a child and teen usually have a harder time admitting they struggle. Have a harder time asking for help, or expressing they feel inadaquate or weak at times. Not having it all together we feel/think we are failing in some aspect. We like things in order and we truly feel at peace when things are tidy and orderly. Mess and us do not go together. Can I get an Amen ? Where my A type sistas at?! Lol!


As a woman of God knowing what the Word says like (2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Chtist may rest upon me.) As well as (Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance, against such there is no law.) So, I continually have to be present and say outloud "Trish you do not have to be is control, God your Father is in control". Whew!!! It truly is a relief knowing I do not have to be in control! Is it easy surrendering? It gets easier everytime! I know my God is my Provider, Protector, Healer, King my everything! But, I am still human and at times I feel like an island, all alone trying to make it in this huge place called Earth. When those times come creeping in, I have to quite myself. Spend time alone with God and the Word, get extra sleep, watch what I eat and stay focused. Though I am not at the point in my life where I had hoped, I know what God has placed in me WILL come to fruition! Patience is a thing that strong women leaders come up against with angst. But we press on knowing Gods timimg is not ours. We are not quitters. We do not throw in the towel. We are hard workers, dedicated, and overcomers! So, the next time you feel the bottom falling out, things not going as you had hoped/thought, things getting out of control quite yourself, give it to God and surrender your way. As we continue to lean on Him peace fills us. Oh how I love His peace don't you? There is nothing like it!!!!!



Listen my beauties, you don't always have to be strong! That's what our Father God is for. He will not let you down. He will never leave you or forsake you. And remember, you are not the only woman feeling/thinking like this at times. There are many women going through the same struggles. Keep in mind God knows your strengths and weakness, they are no surprise to Him. He knows you better than you know yourself. So, trust, lean and cast everything on God whos shoulders are big enough to bear the weight of the world but He has special place just for yours (and mine). :-)

Love and blessings,
