I read this post on a friend's site and it really spoke to me. So many times I think about this question and well, tonight words were put around it!
flexible, reliant, with a sense of humor, prayerful, dependent, born of Light, creative, diligent, part of a community of faith, filled with perseverance.
love and courage, hope and prayer, faith and patience,
laughter and tears, strength in weakness, loneliness and godliness,
