"But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me."
2 Corinthians 12:9
This was my "verse of the day" on my cell phone yesterday, and it stuck with me all day long. The first part of the verse is often quoted and is one I committed to memory at a young age, but the second part (therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power my rest on me) isn't so well know. I love it. I kept reading it all day long, smiling to myself and praising God for the reminder to live a life of humility--aware of my own personal shortcomings and striving each and every day to make sure that my life points back to Him. It's not about me. I don't have to pretend to be anything I'm not. I'm human--I'm weak. But in that weakness, there is incredible strength....
Just food for thought :)
We are heading back up to OHSU tomorrow. Last time for the month (for real this time, ha). We ask for prayers not only for our 8:30AM appointment, but for the days and weeks to follow....we're praying for a baby with a May 2011 birthday!
