These past few weeks have been rough to say the least. After navigating a family loss, teaching at our Churches Co-Op, facilitating our recent event, leading W.O.O.T. Group, and juggling health and home, I found myself drained spiritually and naturally. For a fleeting moment, my soul whispered 'quit.' I knew at that moment I had to do something…
Me being the “strong friend”, I’m usually checking on folks and I struggled to ask for help. So I took a step back, rended my heart and reconnected to the Source of my strength, Jesus! I realized I was trying to do things in my own power. I took a break and allowed myself to breathe, rest, and reflect.
A powerful word at church resonated deeply - “Don’t grow weary in your well doing.” It was a reminder that my strength lies not in self-sufficiency, but in His ever-present help.
I began to reflect on Gods promises…
He won’t put more on me than I can bear!
His yoke is easy and his burden is light!
His Grace is sufficient!
His Strength is made perfect in my weakness!
The Joy of the Lord is my Strength!
Jesus is my firm foundation. When everything around me feels like chaos, He is my calm in the storm. Blessed be the name of the Lord!
