in my weakness

2 Corinthians 8:3

for I can testify that they gave not only what they could afford - but far more.

I am learning to give out of my weaknesses in addition to my strengths.  It's easy to do what comes easy to me - but what about manning up to what is NOT easy for me... and doing it.  Whatever {it} is.  for me... here is me in my weakness:

lack of follow through
lack of motivation
spending too much $
talking too much
waisting time
moving slowly
accountability
attitude/heart

BUT.

"You have a faithful and compassionate High Priest who knows you intimately. He is willing to use His sward to sever anything that holds you back from Him.  He wants every unhealthy soul tie severed so only health will remain.  He will send His words to heal and restore your soul.  His angels will go where you now fear to tread and return every broken fragment of your soul back to you."

I found a BIG post it note with this written on it and thought that I would blog it. 

It was a time when I was having a really hard time with the mirror of my life.  The mirror that showed me a lot of the things that I wasn't doing... but now I see that in my weakness God can be and is glorified.  I don't have to have it all together.  I am a work in progress.  His progress. 

He wants me to have the best life possible.  He doesn't want anything attached to me that will hold me back.  So I will walk in that.  Knowing that in my weakness He is strong.  I am too - through Him.
