Finding strength to go on

Well everyone, I may have just been handed one more thing, a very serious, hard thing. I'm not going to say what that is until I know for sure. But please, if you will, pray for me going through this right now. I would really appreciate it.

Yesterday was tough. You know sometimes you just have a day where everything seems to go wrong? That was my yesterday. Towards the end of the day I literally said out loud "I quit." I said I can't do this. How much can one person handle? This is too much. I'm going to break.

Today I woke up and was reminded of something...

I was right, I can't do this. I can't.

But God can. Sometimes I go to a random page in the Bible and read. This morning what I flipped to was Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I thought that was a great reminder as that is "my" verse, the one I hang on my wall, the one I strive to live by as times get so tough.

And then I read one of my daily devotional emails. What did it talk about? Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Wow. Definitely a God thing. He is reminding me that no, I cannot do any of this. However, with His strength, I not only can I, but I will! He is reminding me that I have the ability to tap into His strength at any moment in time. He is always there.

Every time I think I'm at the top of the hill and it can't get any harder or I can't climb any further, the hill grows... at this point it's a mountain. I hope and pray every day to finally start moving back down, in other words, for things to get easier for me. But life isn't one hill... it's hill after hill after hill and a few mountains thrown in there too. No doubt I'll have more that come my way. No doubt at times I won't even be able to see the top and it will seem never ending. But with His strength I can keep on. I can do it.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
And you can too.
