Strength...

I find this a hard word to associate myself with.  I always rely on others.  I never go anywhere alone, I always ask others for their opinion, I always need someone to push me, I always need a shoulder to cry on or an ear to listen.

Now, I am not saying that it is bad to turn to others.  We are supposed to lean on each other.  Be each others support but there needs to be a balance  between being dependent on others and being an adult and doing things yourself.

Growing up, my Mom said we were not allowed to move out of the house until we either went off to college or got married.  This sounded like a good plan to me.  I can live at home until I met the man I would marry (or as I saw it in my mind, I would depend on) and life would be grand!  But when my Mom died and my Dad moved to Mexico, I had to find someone else to depend on.  I depended on my siblings without their agreement and have been depending on them since.

But I am sure God wants to teach me, by pulling me away from home, to not depend on others because I can't always rely on others.   I need to lean on Him.  And this is where I am made strong.   Not through my strength (because I am far from it) but through His.

 

 

I want to ask you to help me continue on this journey on finding out my true identity in Christ .  Please prayerfully consider supporting me.  I have $5,320 in my account and need to have $11,000 in my account by April 1st!  Ask your friends, family, people at church, co-workers, etc. to prayerfully consider it as well.  Thank you and God bless!
