What is Inner Strength?

Dear READER,


I received a card today and the question on this cards was 'What is Inner Strength?'

The card went on to say something like this:

"We may not know we have it
till we're well into the race,
Or feel we're nearly overwhelmed
by challenges we face -
But then we look much deeper for the power to succeed,
And find we have an inner strength
that meets our greatest need."

• By Emily Matthews

It was a very lovely card and the inside was very sweet in wishing me luck and so forth. The greatest part of the card was that my Dad had picked it out and sent it to me in conjunction with me getting my new job. My Dad is the greatest and he is so thoughtful. I know every holiday he will send a card and when i was called as a Relief Society President there were two cards sent for that. Easter came with card and so did graduation......ANYWAYS my Dad is just great. But that is a totally different post for a different day. I want to talk about this inner strength.


I was sitting in my weight watchers meeting today and the Lady said that we had to find the strength to have believe we could loose the weight. I stood there and dug really deep to find the strength to say yes and to believe it.

I learned that inner strength is the courage to say yes. The courage to do what is right when everyone else is doing something different. Its the ability to believe in others and yourself. Today I got to taste a little of what that inner strength feels like and let me tell you it taste wonderful. To be able to stand up tall and say 'I CAN DO THIS, I WILL DO THIS' and not only say it but BELIEVE IT. It was kind of funny that I had to receive a lecture and a card in order to learn this and to actually say I do have inner strength and I am going to use it.


I know this was probably a more random post (note saying that all my post aren't random but this one probably more out of the ordinary) but I hope that one piece of information will stand out to you and you will say man that helped me. Maybe it is well if Jenessa can do it I can defiantly do it, or I should send card more often, or maybe it was the seed of courage planted in you that reads 'I can do this' and you can.
What ever it was don't push the thought away.....take it and do something with it and I promise you it will benefit your life.



Yours Truly,


Jenessa
