“Unreal Strength” Blog #223

How do I face today with so little strength inside of me?

When am I able to let my body, mind and spirit fill with truth?

Where can I find energy today to be strong right now?

Once in a while something happens that we can’t really explain the why or the reason or

the purpose, we just know inside that something unexplainable is happening to help shift

gears. We have power so strong, that nothing can disturb our peace of mind. What ever

do I mean by that statement?

A long time ago there was a little girl born Into a very poor family in London. They were so

poor, the mother and the father had no way to feed or care for their family. The little girl

was not yet ten and took care of her three youngest siblings, as best as as she could. Yet,

the parents being so destitute and also a bit deranged, decided to do the unthinkable.

They abandoned all four children and left them alone, locked away in their home. When

the authorities finally came a few days later, the emaciated little children were sent off to

different families. The little girl, never saw her siblings again. A dark shadow descended on

her and she was filled with sadness and overpowering anger at what her parents had

done. Through her teen years, this girl earned a living on the streets and even spent a time

in the work house. Somehow, in the midst of all her anger, fear and weakness, she

managed to listen to her inner higher self guidance and turn overwhelming anger into

super spiritual strength. For this is the true story of Joan Rhodes. Joan had a 22 inch waist

line, long flowing blonde hair, petite and quiet, she looked like Marilyn Monroe. Joan

Rhodes found her way into stardom, notoriety and even an audience with the Queen of

England and Prince Phillip at Windsor Castle, all because of her Super Unreal Strength. She

conquered fear and made intense anger work for her in the strangest way. She became

very strong. Leaving audiences speechless, she was able to bend a steel bar with her

teeth, rip large phone books into quarters and lift huge men two or three at a time. Joan

managed to find a super unreal strength that she forged out of a desperation just to

survive. People who met her could not explain how she was able to do the feats she

accomplished. Famous celebrities from all over the world came to know of Joan’s

strength. When looking at this lovely, slim woman, so beautiful, so kind, Joan Rhodes

became the “Iron Girl in a velvet glove” ** ( her book also by this title) Everyone,

everywhere were astounded by this kind of strength. “Joan believed she could, and she

did.” Her life took a powerful turn and she never, ever looked back. She lived to be almost

ninety.

I know what it’s like to keep plugging along, day in and day out, in complete sorrow. Trying

to make the same old routine work over and over. The past trying to sneak in, fill me with

rage and trip me up. But then it happens, a prayer is heard, immediately I feel heard. I

sense HIS presence. So what keeps me internally connected? I look back at my own life

and as God as my witness, I do not lie. Had anyone told me I would be witness to such

horrific loss, such upheaval, such pain, there’s no way I think I could survive. Yet, here I am.

I keep on keeping on, and ironically, have come to feel a spiritual strength inside me,

growing strong as steel. Inside and outside I am different now. “I AM in this world, BUT

not of this world”. Jesus Christ walks with me every day, holding my hand. Kind of like

looking at the world through a television set. I can change the channel, I can look at

whatever I want. Better still - I can turn it off, and turn to HIM. Really quite profound how

amazing to be able to sleep soundly now, tune out all the background noise and just be at

peace. Reaffirming internally whatever happens, I will find a way forward. There will never

be a better choice. Others around me are exactly where they should be, it is not up to me

to control any one else’s path. Keep working on “me” is my goal, finding unreal strength of

spiritual steel.
