His strength is made perfect in my weakness.

That's the truth! And the truth will set me free!

Verses I'm focusing on this week & why:

Philippians 4:8- Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about such things.

Colossians 3:2- Set your mind on things above, not earthly things.

2 Corinthians 12:9- "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

   * As a mother, I struggle often times with feelings of pure inadequacy. And this week, I'm feeling them more than ever with the absence of my husband. Satan works very hard at showing me all of the things I'm not 'great' at, and making me lose sight of all my strengths. I know with all of my heart that I am a mother because the Lord has called me to the privelage of raising one of His children. He didn't make a mistake when he chose me for this job. He knew I would struggle with anxiety, and depression throughout early motherhood.. HOWEVER, He.still.chose.me. I am still the best match for my son. Days when I feel weak, which is most, I don't have to rely on my own strength (THANK GOD)! I have every reason to be weak on my own, but because I'm a child of the Lord, I can lean on Him through the moments when the enemy presses hard. And in Him, I am anything but inadequate.
