Its been hard to put my thoughts together that I may write a blog. So here are the thoughts that come to me as I type. It may look a bit scattered:
I am physically exhausted and spiritually tired. I haven't been spending enough time with my Daddy. I feel the weight of trying to cram everything I can in one day. I want to be the kind of leader that I would follow. I want to set an example of what a man of God looks like that is chasing after God. I give all I have and now I feel spent. I am also sick. It has been tough to find the resources to get all my duties done when I haven't been refilled by spending time with my Papa.
God has shown me throughout our time here in Guatemala just how weak I really am and just how strong He is. I have learned to truly embrace my weakness although that is very hard to do, because I want to be strong. God led me to the book of Nehemiah today for me to start to study. I thank God for the example of a Godly leader like Nehemiah. Already I feel encouraged that God wants to make me great through His greatness. For apart from Him I can do nothing.
God promises us rest when we come to Him. I lean into my weakness that He may be strong in me. I am reminded of a song by Elevation Worship – "Give me faith". The lyrics stick out to me right where I am:
"I may be weak, but Your Spirit's strong in me. My flesh may fail, but my God You never will."
God is good! All the time!! (Dios es bueno! Todo el tiempo!!) He is faithful and merciful! He is my rock and my refuge! I will trust in Him and not in myself. Bring on the rain O God. I am Your's and I trust You!!!
