2Corinthians 12:9
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Since my camera won't upload photos onto my computer right now I will share what's been going on in my heart!! This verse has been a great source of encouragement to my soul this past week. In the kindness of God he has not let my sins of discontentment, selfishness, anger, grumbling and disrespect go on. Through the observations of my husband, God's word and the wonderful gift of the holy spirit, my sin's cannot be hidden. I was really struggling with feeling like I deserve to have what I want and when I didn't get my way my sins were exposed. (Not that those struggles have gone away, it is still a fight and I will keep fighting!!)I had built idols in my heart and began to worship them and not the risen Lord. I have been encouraged that God is my refuge and strength and that I need to run to him and find Joy in HIM and not in my idea of what is good for me. I am ungrateful, selfish, an idolater, and a sinner but more importantly I am a FORGIVEN ungrateful, selfish, idolater and sinner and I have been bought with the blood of Jesus. Nothing I did or will do can make God be more for he; He is 100% for me and will be when I fall again. Thank you God for saving me and for changing me...CHANGE ME LORD!!

Sara, I saw that you had the same verse up! God is so good to remind us of his grace and strength and of our weakness.
