It's Wonder Wednesday-I am inspired to hold space to ask some thought questions to encourage us to think inward, and truly consider the roots of some of our beliefs.
Today's question- Who or what made you believe you have to be strong?
Now that we are seeing more posts and memes about soft girl season and becoming her…… How did we get to Strong Girl Season?
While in session with one of my mentees and discussing her journey- she mentioned “Having to be Strong” and it struck a chord in me…
After she finished her thought I asked the question and she paused for a really long time. She responded “I don't know”.
Then I asked her to close her eyes while we did a guided Imagery exercise. This helped her recall her experiences and perspectives that lead to this idea of strength and the pressure created to walk in that state.
Now Listen - I am still trying to fit into my soft girl season garments, but after doing my own deep dive on my who, what and why, I realize that my perceived reality- was not real world 🌎 nor how it should be…..
I love God. His word really does give a blueprint for living. One scripture I have attached to over the past few years is
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.10 That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
