I am currently reading a book called, "Big Girls Don't Whine." It is eloquently written to remind us grown women that "little girl ways" are not the best ways. It has helped me identify areas of my life where I still need to grow up, and it has inspired me to make change. I am so awed at the love God has placed in my heart for Him - it truly fuels me. I am grateful for His changes in my heart to seek Him with genuine love and less with selfish need.
Tonight, I had a choice. Faced with some trying circumstances, I could choose to pine in fear or I could choose to walk with joy and faith. I truly had not seen that in this particular area I was more of a little girl than a big girl. I choose to grow up.
In my weakness, He is strong. What meaning that has to me tonight. The circumstances I am in stretch me more than I feel I can bear. While God would have found a way to teach me what I am learning, I realize now my choices in the past have made it a much bigger deal than necessary. But, in God's grace, and with my concious choice to be joyful, I finally feel His strength to carry on.
This is the day the Lord has made, and I will rejoice in it.
Peace and strength to all those who feel stretched beyond their capacity. Faith to believe He will provide regardless of our past choices. May He make good of all things in your life.
