Lots of new/hard things have been happening in life lately. But as always, these things help me to more fully realize how much God does love us and how much His hand is truly a part of our lives.
Yesterday, I turned to Russell and said, "I sure wish I could see who I was before I came here, because God sure thinks I am someone that I don't think I am." I think we all have moments like that, when we feel overwhelmed and overpowered. We feel like we can't handle everything we feel we are expected to handle.
But despite our feelings of weakness God will shower us with His tender mercies. Although unexpected, God granted me my wish today and showed me a glimpse of who I am and who I can become. As I have sought Him, I have felt His loving arms encircle me and guide me when the path was unknown.
We are greater and stronger than we think we are! And I know that it is only through God that we can become all that we are meant to be. We may not see it, but He can and He will lead us as we let Him.
