Protect me

I am known for being very independent to the point of carrying a thirty pound bag and hurting my hands. In the bible it says women are weaker bodily but equal heirs in Christ. I am so glad for the brothers in my life, I do not submit to them they are neither my father nor husband as I am single at this time. Yet they are protective and keep an eye out for me. I like their counsel. I just wish at times they would reprove or rebuke me if need be. I am seen often as strong and capable truth is the Lord is my strength. May I serve the Lord.
