I'm not TOUGH as NAILS

I'm not.

I don't feel tough.




I feel squishy.

Kind of out of shape.

Speak what I think.

But I'm not TOUGH AS NAILS.

I am DANA WILLIAMSON. Just me. Just life. Just ministry. 

But I'm not TOUGH AS NAILS.










Can we answer what is TOUGH AS NAILS anyway:

(as) tough as nails. also (as) hard as nails. strong and very determined: She is a warm and friendly person, but she is also as tough as nails at work. (Definition of “(as) tough as nails” from the Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary © Cambridge University Press)

I can't even imagine why someone would say I'm tough as nails when my transparency is real and I am weak. Not weak in the sense I can't handle this but weak in the sense of HUMILITY. I am not tough as nails, but I am somebody. I am important to somebody. God didn't pull me out to put my in a rut. 

I'm tough, no, BUT Oh yes, IM STRONGER THAN YOU THINK. 

Nehemiah 8:10New King James Version (NKJV)

10 Then he said to them, “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

Joshua 1:7New King James Version (NKJV)

7 Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.

I know the word. 

I don't curb the word. 

I don't lie about what I feel. 

I don't tell the devil everything. 

I AM DANA WILLIAMSON. 

I come from a family of entrepreneurs, ministry leaders, gun toters, criminals and B.A.D. WOMEN

Tough as Nails? No

Strong..Yes...I am somebody. 

You're not even invited to the table.

They are a non-factor. Why are you worried?
