IT GETS BETTER MAMA

As I cried to God last night, I considered giving in to something bothering me. I heard the Spirit saying, “You are stronger than this Jane, this is not who you are, don’t you see there is a blessing in this” and was once again reminded of these verses from the Bible;

My grace is enough; it’s all you need.

My strength comes into its own in your weakness.

Once I heard that, I was glad to let it happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift. It was a case of Christ’s strength moving in on my weakness. Now I take limitations in stride, and with good cheer, these limitations that cut me down to size—abuse, accidents, opposition, bad breaks. I just let Christ take over! And so the weaker I get, the stronger I become.

2CORINTHIANS 12:9-10 (MSG)

Instead of appreciating the gift, I focused on the problem. I felt much better after that. It was like the spirit wanted to reinforce it when I started praying this morning because I was again rehearsing those thoughts from the previous night.

Lately, I have been experiencing fatigue ( “Why am I doing this?” kind of feeling). I was then reminded of how I dreaded waking my daughter up in the morning for school. Now it’s bliss. Before, I dreaded both kids waking up at the same time in the morning, but now I look forward to it. Yesterday morning and the whole day with my kids were both ones I will cherish forever.

This is the gift, this is why I do this. Also, I began to see the gift in all the other things I do. Creating memories with my children, watching them grow and develop a bond, and strengthening my muscles and stamina in my other affairs, this is why I do it.

I may be fatigued now but guess what it does get better and those muscles and stamina I am building now will come in handy at the right time. “I just let Christ take over! And so the weaker I get, the stronger I become”.
