Ain’t I A Woman was a poem Sojourner Truth wrote doing a women’s convention in 1851. She brazenly reminded the vain folks of her era that she was a black woman; also a lady who should be treated with respect, delicately. Sojourner Truth was an impactful anti-slavery advocate; fighting and praying for the human rights of women and others. Sojourner Truth was the apotheosis of strength; activism marinated powerfully in her DNA as she set the captives free. She is an inspiration to all women who love God and desire to pursue him for their lives.
We can all aspire to become bits and pieces of the Proverbs 31:30 woman whether single or married.

It weighs down your energy and can make you ill. They are praised for fearing God; having love and kindness as their protective shields. Becoming a woman who fears God will not happen overnight, it is a process. When your progression cup is filled up, you will become full.
