My Grace is Sufficient

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong"

The past few months have been an uphill battle. This feeling seems like it'll never end and although there are times where it's out of mind, the next corner that I turn into just opens the doors again. Remembering that Gods plan is bigger than mine and that during this time His grace is sufficient.
I hate the idea of being weak, but if there's one thing that I've been learning is that I am extremely weak. I am more weak than I care to show, and more weak than I'd care to admit.

God thank you for showing me that I need to rely on you once again. Thank you for showing me that through my weakness, you are the only one that can make me strong.

Genuine Love

11 days til I head out for the first leg of my trip. And as each day passes I get a little bit more anxious. Uncertain of the future and what God will bring into my life, I've been trying hard to cling onto His word. Redeemer City Bible Reading has kept me quite accountable, and as I dig deeper into each chapter, I'm really finding myself quite humbled.
It's funny how words can have different meanings depending on the situation that you read it from. Trying to understand what Genuine Love means is actually pretty tough because I always thought that love was love. No big deal right? Wrong... I couldn't have been more wrong.
Genuine love is understanding that what is best may not be what I think is the best. It's understanding that it ain't daisies and roses, but that there's sacrifice and pain in all of that. It's realizing that in all things God's faithfulness is what will carry things to where they need to be.

So humbled.
