Funny things happen to you when you're a woman. Sometimes, when I get really angry, I'm not physically strong enough to hit/break/destroy something to the point where my tension is released. So then you end up crying, because there is nothing else to do.
I love how men just don't understand that :)
I hate not being strong enough. We want to be independent, self-sufficient and completely capable on our own. I am young, healthy, intelligent - why am I not strong enough???? Which begs the question - why does God give us weaknesses?
Today's reading (alright, and yesterday's...you caught me...) was about loving God with all your soul, mind, and strength. It seems like such a daunting task. Trying to live your life normally and remembering to think about how good, and right, and admirable God is all day. Talk about tiring-and what did we just talk about? Being honest? Honestly - it's not likely we'll be able to do it.
You've heard it before - God gives us impossible tasks so that we can see His power through us. I like the way my sister put it in a comment a few days back - we start to see God's personality when we let Him work in our lives. It's so true, and the great part is, all it takes is faith.
I used to get so caught up in 'letting God work in me' and working day and night to follow all the rules, and make sure I was looking for every opportunity. God doesn't flow like that. He's more like a body of water - obstacles and opportunities are here and there, but we keep moving around them when we just let the current do the pushing. We have weaknesses so we can practice faith, and experience the current of God.
Enjoy the sunshine today, and take a float on the river :)
