Magnetic Strength


               Magnetic Strength 

               Can you know the magnetic strength without the opposite poles- the positive and negative?

                Magnetic strength is achieved when two poles attract. You are a great woman, full of potentials. Some are born great while some achieve it. Ask yourself. Where do I belong? You are the magnetic strength. You have only one pole. Your strength cannot be revealed with only one pole. You need two. If you believe and trust me, get two magnets and try it. In life, we don’t get what we deserve but what we demand because life is a warfare and not a fun fare. Make a move today. May the passion of Christ Jesus strengthen you and may his power of resurrection uphold you.       

                 I am not a housewife. I will not abide to cleaning and succumbing to a family. I will not be a stay-at-home mother or a slave to a man. I am not to be seen as just a female who can clean, obey, listen, and advice. I will not be intimidated or overpowered by anyone, especially male gender. Just because you are a man, doesn’t mean that I cannot strive to achieve the same aspects. I will not just open my legs and bare children for a man. That is what others expect of me. I could be seen as worthless, nothing, lazy, stupid, dirty, etc. I could be seen as soft, generous, helpful, and undetermined. That is not the case. I am not an expectation. I am not a slave. I will no longer keep my mouth shut. I will no longer bury burdens in my heart, continuously killing myself gradually-emotionally, physically, mentally. That is not who I am. I have a voice within me. A voice that has been silenced, blocked, harassed, and scared. I will open that voice, no longer to be shut down and called defensive for speaking out, saying my insight, and revealing the truth. I will not be taken advantage of, looked down on, or mistreated.

                I will earn respect and strength in my voice, as a person, in spirit, body, and mind. I will work toward discovering myself and proving others wrong. I will strive for my own expectations. It might be a tough journey, but with God, I believe we can defeat any obstacle. I will let go of previous pains and burdens. I am me. I will not stand there silent, scared that I might be punished or I may hurt someone’s feelings. I promise to grow as a human and as a spiritual person. I will have light shine upon me. This I believe.
