Today I was talking with my brother about a friend’s mother who has been through a lot of medical issues and is still going strong, just turning 91 years old. I told him that if I were to get very ill, I don’t know if I would have the ability to make it to the other side, as I feel that I am pretty weak. He replied that I am probably stronger than I think I am as I have already been through a lot of turmoil and have pushed through. I guess I had never thought of it like that before. Later, I saw a quote that said, “Looking back, I realize it was never my strength that kept me going, it was His. Through every uncertainty, His love never left. Even when my faith wavered, His faithfulness remained.” I think that describes my feelings as well. There have certainly been times when I thought I couldn’t go forward any more, or couldn’t recover from a particular circumstance. Yet I did. I’m sure it wasn’t due to my own strength. Trying to stay close to God and allowing Him to put things in place has always been the best answer.

I Found God today realizing His strength that has pulled me through difficult situations.
