Weakness...

I am coming out of my second sickness in two weeks. I normally don't get sick very often but this winter it has hit hard. This last sickness really wiped me out. I could barely get out of bed the first day and by the third day at home from work I tried to go in and lasted an hour! It was almost embarrasing how weak I was. I couldn't even process what people asked in their e-mails. I have realized I pride myself in my efficiency and strength. Both of those were taken away from me last week and I realized how weak I really am! Through this sickness I am realizing more about the Lord...how he truly desires to be our STRENGTH. When I was not able to do what I normally do and be on top of life He reminded me He didn't care about what I do...He cares about me in my weakness. He LOVES me and holds me when I feel weak and tired. He PROTECTS me when I can't protect myself. It was a sweet time for me as I prayed and felt His presence around me. I think it is the best time to slow down enough to realize these things. Though I don't want to be sick to learn these things again aboout my Lord I am thankful for His presence through a rough week.

Take time in your busyness to listen to the Lord...He loves you and desires you to acknowledge His presence through the mundane days of life.
