Can you relate?

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 "But he said to me, "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. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."

 Are you ever just a bit tired, overwhelmed and worn around the edges.
I needed this passage this morning. Last night the kids had skate night.
An hour or so before we left I hid my forehead on an oak piece of work with a sharp edge.
Thank God I did not lacerate my forehead. Then while enjoying a candy cane a broke the temporary crown on my tooth.
When sweet Dash came to me to help him get his skate off, he kicked me yes...in the knee... with the brake of his skate.

The principle is iffy and I mentioned to him that the nemesis of Dove forced Dash in the girls bathroom and felt blown off.
Then I saw Dash's old teacher from last year...well lets just say that relationship is lacking mutual respect.
My readership is so way off that I am surprised to see anyone still reading.


My husbands faith is shaky and so that covering feels week. Reality is becoming a daily factor where once I had an ideal that kept me "pie in the sky", now it is a sweet "this is MY life".


I have more laundry to catch up on than any of you could imagine.  The dishwasher did not work right yesterday. A good 3 cups of my home grown beans will be given to the dogs this morning and so the work of the garden was left unappreciated.


Kids are up now....


In all of this however....


I know that God is strong in me.
He makes me able.
He blesses me.
My faith is not iffy even if others doubts swirl around me.
It matters most what GOD thinks about me.
My reality if a GIFT from God.
The tooth well it will get fixed this morning and I can hope, hope for mercy that it will not become and expense.
