In His Strength
Our pastor talked today about about how we often say we trust God, but do things in our own strength. And since our strength is limited, we exhaust ourselves with the trying and striving involved in daily life. He reminded us to put our faith in His Strength rather than our own.
I need to take this advice, as I attempt to plan classroom lessons for the first time in many years. I think about the task at hand and immediately get overwhelmed. The Lord knows what these students need and what I'm required to turn in, so I'm giving this over to Him right now. I'm letting go and trusting Him to guide and direct my ways.
Thank you Lord that nothing is too small for you to get involved with for the sake of your kids. Amen.

Philippians 4:13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
I always need reminded that I can do all things.... Why do I have to practically reach the place of exhaustion before I ask Him to take over?? My pride...just when I thinking getting it...He gently shows me I still need Him every moment of every day. Those rare days when I do surrender, go so much easier and are more enjoyable!!!
