MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOU, FOR MY STRENGTH IS MADE PERFECT IN WEAKNESS.
Lately, I have been feeling like I want nothing less from God. Needing to claim on the promises that do sometimes just seem so, unreal. With that, church on sunday reminds me to be a servant and not look at myself, ever, and to be a good stewart of what I have. Am I not glad then that I have admitted that I’m weak, because I really really want His strength.
Last night, G and I were lamenting over the tragedy that IF aguy and agirl were made so differently, how were they ever going to understand each other? Having just seen The Break-Up, I was appalled. Because it was so real. And as I cringed and laughed through the scenes, I wondered how in the world these two completely opposite creatures were ever meant to marry and continue to populate the earth. You see, if Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn couldn’t even get through to each other and work out their problems (in makebelieve hollywood), how dare we, mere mortals attempt to solve the ageold problem for mankind. The conversation proved fruitless, but of course. The only comforting notion is the fact that God planned this whole BG thing and so there MUST be a key to make things work. So to throw this to God and ASK him to work in it is probably the best thing I can and know how to do. There is a sense of recklessness. And strange unfamiliarity because what I do now is nothing I have ever done before. So I’m going to learn and ask God to fight for me.
Sometimes I think it’s funny that He chooses to place me in a position that I fear the most. OhNo, don’t put me in a place where I am weakest in. Did God miscalculate how much I can give and how far I can be stretched? Yet, I know inside (a quiet knowing) that I’m all rara and allready to run this race and challenge myself. Because it IS different. And because it is godblessed. Today, I know that He knows me and my every heart and need. And I am going to be faithful.
On a completely different note, a colleague talked to me today and it was interesting because he never talks to me. And I have, in the past week, had the opportunity to explain why I am a christian in two different classes.
If this is not godtimed, I don’t know what else is!!
