Art Journaling ~ What Gives You The Strength to Practice Fortitude?

Vicky is introducing this week’s Fortitude challenge!! We are so happy to have her on the team!! This month’s theme has been a big challenge for me personally as I have many things that caused fortitude to grow in my life, but to scrap them is very difficult still!!
“Fortitude to me is when you determine to keep on going when you don’t feel like it. Fortitude is showing yourself that “you can” when others say “you can’t!” Fortitude is the characteristic of the strong, not the weak. But fortitude also builds strength in the weak. So how do we go from being weak to being strong? Personally, I trust in God for my strength each day. What gives you the fortitude you need in tough circumstances in your life? Is it your mom, dad, God, friends, husband? I’d like to see your pages about what gives you Fortitude in your day-to-day life. Here are some quotes to inspire. Feel free to use one of them on your page, or use one you found that inspires you. I can’t wait to read about what give you Fortitude!
Here are a Few Quotes:
Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades. A mode of conduct, a standard of courage, discipline, fortitude, and integrity can do a great deal to make a woman beautiful. Jacqueline Bisset
Fortitude is the marshal of thought, the armor of the will, and the fort of reason. Francis Bacon
One of the duties of fortitude is to keep the weak from receiving injury; another, to check the wrong motions of our own souls; a third, both to disregard humiliations, and to do what is right with an even mind. All these clearly ought to be fulfilled by all Christians, and especially by the clergy. Saint Ambrose
Fortitude is the guard and support of the other virtues. John Locke
