Each time he said, “My grace is all you need.
My power works best in weakness.”
So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that
the power of Christ can work through me.
That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the
insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ.
For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
Oh how I love this! What a wonderful reminder for all of us. The Word is such a gift!!!!!!!!
“My grace is enough for you” … words to live by :)
I rest in that promise and can experience true peace. What version did you quote?
Thank you Tracie…these are the words I needed today because I am drowning in my cirmcumstances right now! To be reminded of His promises are so sweet!
I am learning so much from reading your words and listening to your heart. Last week my youngest daughter (30) was telling me how she was trying to get a nursery started in her church – she has 2 boys – 1 1/2 and 3 years old. I love that!! That brings joy to my heart that she is doing what needs to be done, to get her children into church and doing activities that they will enjoy. That they will grow with the knowledge that church is there for the entire family. That they can sit quietly and work on an activity bag. And meanwhile they are hearing the word and they are living the word. I DO LOVE THAT!!
so well-put. we had a little discussion at church tuesday night (our women’s monthly get-together night) about trials vs. blessings. the point the sister who was leading the discussion was trying to make was that no matter who you are, if you were to list your trials & then list your blessings then you would find that your trials list will always pale in comparison to your blessings list. this is true, to a point. what i found with mine was that mine were equal. not necessarily because i lead a life 50:50 of the two. more like each time i’d scribble down a trial, instantly there was a blessing that came from the trial. now, were there blessings not associated with my trials that i could list? heck yes. however that’s not where my brain or heart was in the exercise. instead they were buried in the learning experience that in each and EVERY trial, Heavenly Father has made my weakness my strength. end of story. is it lovely to only focus on the blessings that just happen without some time in the proving grounds of life’s struggles? yes. however, perhaps more this year we should be looking at those blessings we’ve received because of the sweat, blood, and tears we were willing to sacrifice in His name and for His purpose. i think those are my favorite blessings of all. those are the moments, just as we find in the footprints poem, that i KNOW He carried me across the sand. because of this, my footing is more substantial on the other side of the challenges. perhaps so i can help carry someone else through their struggles in the sand.
thanks for this reflective train-of-thought. got my rusty wheels turning even more. lub u. ::hugs::

One important thing is that while you are searching for a education loan you may find that you will need a cosigner. There are many scenarios where this is true because you will find that you do not have a past credit ranking so the loan company will require that you’ve someone cosign the credit for you. Good post.
