My mom, dad, and I visited my sister in the rehab facility today. She will be discharged in a couple days and will be staying with us for a few weeks before going to her home in Denver. This will give her time to gain some strength and get some things in place at her house. We had a long talk about what she needed and how we might make things work out while she is with us. My mom jokingly – or not so much – called our house the rehab center. It is true, that is what it has been since I moved in. Sometimes I question if it is me? Sometimes I also wonder how I can be strong enough to take care of the people and things that need to be taken care of. This evening on the way home from running errands, the song, “Strong Enough”, by Matthew West came on. The first words are:

“You must, You must think I’m strong
To give me what I’m going through

Well forgive me
Forgive me if I’m wrong
But this looks like more than I can do
On my own”

I chuckled as I listened as this is just how I feel. The song continues with:

“I know I’m not strong enough to be
Everything that I’m supposed to be
I give up
I’m not stong enough
Hands of mercy won’t you cover me
Lord right now I’m asking you to be
Strong enough
Strong enough
For the both of us ”

I go through my days praying A LOT and doing my best to do my part just for the day and give the rest to God, trusting that He knows the outcome of all of this, and that He loves me and my people way more than I can even imagine. I try to remind myself of past difficulties that I have been through that He has turned into such blessings. So it will be here.

I Found God today in a song that reminded me that I don’t have to do everything on my own.
