She helps the poor and the needy. She is strong and grateful,
as well as cheerful about the future.
Her words are sensible and her advice is thoughtful,
She takes good care of her family and is never lazy.
Charm can be deceiving and beauty fades away,
but a woman who honors the Lord deserves to be praised
Show her respect - praise her in public for what she has done.
Proverbs 31, different verses.

I've been confrontated with strong woman, through reading articles and things like that. When I mention strong women in the sentence before I mean the famous and well known women, like princesses, singers, etc. All this made me think of the strong women in my own life, who deserve the praise (in public). There were always women beside me to teach me and to be an example. They probably didn't realize that at the very moment, cause I didn't realized that as well, but now I see that in every life period there was someone, a strong woman.
It all started at the primary school. My favorite teacher, who teached me/us in the fifth class, show me a lot of the love of Jesus. She used to play the guitar and I didn't realized that what we sung with her was actually worshipping God. She in person was the kind, lovely, sweet and warm teacher. Her heart was never to small. After school she gave guitar lessons. The price for one lesson was 1 single euro. Everything she earnes with the lessons she gave to the children in the Ukraine. She had a special love for that country and as far as I know she moved up to there! What I'll never forget is how she picked up the guitar at the end of the year and sung a blessing to us. "I wish to you: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, tenderness and selfcontrol. Those are the fruits of the Holy Spirit, what leads you into eternal life." She was for sure an example, she didn't teach school-things only, she showed to love others like Jesus did.
Then there was a youth church leader. I met her on a kids camp. We switched from church when I was around 11 I think. With all of the kids they went to camp once a year. My parents decided to go to that church, while I had chosen another one. On camp I met this woman, she was warm, nice and really social. She smiled a lot, was always happy in my eyes. Later she teached me about the bible. Once in two weeks we met with a group of teenagers and study the bible. She lead the group with so much fun. She was so convinced about the word of God! She had the talent to give you the feeling that you're worthy and beloved by God. I felt a little unsecure in this church, but she made it comfortable for me.
Then there came some depts. I was not happy with myself and stuggled a lot. But there was another woman! She took care of me for years, was always there to listen when I felt worthless. She took me to places to enjoy life a little more. And gave me the feeling that I was beloved. I gave her an overdosis of sad emails and she replied always. She was like a sister and she treated me like I was her little sister. I have no words for what she actually did for me, but for sure she deserves a lot of praise!
Three memorable women and here is the fourth. I met her on a conference, she sung in the band and had a beautiful voice. She was so special. Through her songs she comfort me and we talked about really hard issues. I was never scared to share something with her, because I knew that she wouldn't judge, but hug me and help me out of it. Or we just pray! I didn't saw her frequently, but she is still really important to me. Just of who she is. Her heart overflows with the love of Jesus and she poured it in my heart. She convinced me again and again of the love of Jesus for me, the love of people around me for me. She is special!
And there were more, other women who talked with me about my life, who prayed with me and support me. This year I become nineteen! I'm not a child or a teenager anymore, now I'm a young, hopefully strong woman, to show other kids or teenagers the most important Love in the world.
I'm so grateful for the women who teached me, who made me one of them!
