Anything But Strong

Talia was happy to see Saturday come.
She wasn't alone.
When I woke up this morning I sort of exhaled.
I had the kind of week where there were several days in a row that I couldn't make sense of anything.
In my weakness He is strong.
 I couldn't express myself well. In my weakness he is strong.
I knew what I was trying to say. In my weakness he is strong.
I certainly knew how I felt: tired, weak, anything but strong.
 I couldn't get my thoughts and emotions to present themselves into anything anyone else could understand.
This morning I woke up and still felt weak. In my weakness he is strong.
But I was at peace.
I laughed so much today.
I cooked and prayed.
 And ate by candlelight.
I am held together by His strength when nothing, including me, makes sense.
That realization was the gift of this Saturday.
He is far too good to me.

  8. i am so very much sharing that same space with you right now!
    and like you, feeling so blessed and grateful at the same time...for it is in my struggling that i am able to truly be present in the life and struggles of Jesus Christ, and it leaves me forgetting a bit about my own hardships, and overwhelmed by the goodness that i know will come out of this all.

    and like you, a little cooking and praying goes a really long way...

    thanks for the inspiration this morning.

  9. Well this post resonated and brought me to tears for sure. I too haven't been able to make sense of much lately and tough times with our son has really taken a toll... I don't cook but also try to find moments to pray and find peace. I know he is with me. I sometimes just can't find him in the moment...
