Others Strength don’t matter when you have Strength of your Own.

Time and time again, the saying is two heads is better than one, but does.
that apply when you already have the strength of two individuals for yourself.
or is that a vein. Often life is complicated when you have a partner and the
other partner is not as strong as the other, especially when it comes to the
opposite sex. I saw a post that stated a powerful couple is a dangerous couple.
which is true! When couples complement each other in everything and play their
roles, the future of success is impeccable.

As women we are taught to be domestic, take care of the house, bear fruit,
and be submissive. In these times we have taken on a lot of additional roles
that were not by choice, but by force. It sad because its more common for the
women to be the head of the house now more than ever. It takes nothing for
women to demonstrate the roles of both partners and is very unfortunate. As I
speak for myself, its more convenient to “just do” it then to
“expect” or “ask”. Less of an argument, communication and
productivity. Would I dare say some men, have less ambition, never taught, or
have had the experience?

I grew up in a 2-parent home, not my biological father but my dad, who was my
mom’s common law husband, was very domestic in all areas of life. I recall he
was employed Keller Hospital, worked on cars during his spare time, cooked,
cleaned, 42 year retires veteran, fished, dipped and dapped in construction,
planted flowers, comb my hair when needed, took me shopping, all things needed.
he stepped up and showed out, without a fuss. I learned a lot from him. He taught
me how to drive at a early age, everything he did, he included me, ” No
Handicaps” was his motto. He would tell me never let no one handicap me.
Always do better than the one who taught you, never let anyone insult your
intelligence. Today, I don’t know if that was a good thing or bad thing.

I was recently told that I am ” Instantly Intimidating”. So,
people don’t want to be around me or feel very uncomfortable in my presence. It
does not bother me at all, all I can say is it’s one of those, get to know a
person for yourself. Now I’m not going to dummy myself down for anyone. It’s
either you love me or leave me alone. If you feel intimidated, then that’s
personal and has nothing to do with me, but please come correct, please! One
thing for sure, I’m keeping it 100% real with myself first.

I can also admit, being strong has its pros and cons. The pro is that I
depend on me! I Stand on my integrity, and I love to work hard. The Cons are:
if anything goes wrong, I cannot blame anyone but me. I don’t feel like I can
count on anyone, I always feel like I must protect myself and my possessions.
It makes relationships difficult at times, when one lacks more than the other
but gets “COMFORTABLE”. It complicates things that make it hard to
communicate, difficult to understand and irritating because sometimes you must
cuts some balls. But hey what good is another strength if you have your own!

For a Friend!

I created Green-Pastures by Her in 2017, after surviving Domestic Abuse, I was physically and mentally broken. Every day was a struggle, but every day was also an opportunity to show up for myself. Using affirmations and scripture by way of sticky notes and journaling helped me regulate my thoughts, emotions and my behavior. Reclaiming my life after trauma gave me the strength and power to be healed and restored. I stopped focusing on the people and things that broke me and I begin creating an environment of joy and peace. I grew closer to God and Spiritually searched for Greener Pastures. I prayed and I cried, I spoke life and not death. I became Fearless, Bold and Strong acknowledging “No weapons formed against, shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17) because “If God be before me who can stand against me (Romans 8:31) “and reciting “The Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear (Psalm 27:1) I TRUSTED IN THE PROCESS OF THE LORD for my healing, I embraced my intentions for living and turned my problems into my purpose.
