We're not as strong as we think we are

Hi there.
Today I want to talk to you about, something that I've been thinking about.

And that is, our weaknesses, this idea inspired me by that great song writer Rich Mullen's, who wrote,   the wonderful worship song ''Awesome God.'' .

I went to church today, it was a first, because I haven't seen any of my friends for oh quite a long time, in fact, if you asked me when was the last time, I saw them, I honestly couldn't remember.
I was thinking when I came back, that one friend asked me how I am going, and if I've been reading my bible.
I said, that I've been reading the bible and listening to church things, even thought I haven't been going.
You don't need to be popular to have lots of friends, just a few that you really care about.

So this is, post number 40.

And I want to encourage you, that even when we are strong, we still have our weakness, and you probably know me and my weaknesses, and you know I'm missing my friend.
While we might feel broken, we might be on top of the world, we might just need a bit of grace, we might just need a bit of understanding, we might just need to extend the hand of grace.
See, what I've learnt in my Christian walk, isn't just about going to church, it's getting into God that counts.
See, we need him in our lives to make us strong, if we're wondering, why we are here, or if we're struggling with something, perhaps that it's that the church is popular, but perhaps you're just wanting a more simple faith.
Elijah  was a great leader, but it wasn't in the hurricanes , or the earth quakes, that God was in them, it was in his small quiet voice, perhaps you feel like a stranger in your own land.
We might faultier in our steps, but we're never out of reach of God.
If you're mentally exhausted, perhaps you're getting to busy in your own things to make them work on your own accord.
Take a blossom tree, when it reaches it's peak, it blossoms for 2 weeks, then the wind comes and blows all the blossom around, making the flowers fall on the ground like pink setting snow.
A blossom tree is never ugly, it's always productive.
If we're are connected to the source, we are productive, but if we're not, we're not very healthy that goes for our walk with Christ.
We are to be praying constantly, we are to help others, to listen to pray with them.
And we should do it.
Don't dispose small beginnings, because that just might be the thing God wants you to do.
God works with what he's got.
he doesn't require us to do bizarre things, that don't make sense.
So take time, and enjoy the journey, and if you've been working hard, and not getting much in return go back to the drawing board, and see what God wants you to do.
It might just be a time of waiting, a time of praying, a time of un picking,  it might hurt, but his workmanship is amazing and the project when finished will be amazing.
Don't be afraid, go and sing praise God for all he his, even if you don't feel like it, sing praise God, praise God for the things he's done, that he will do, for bringing you through a tough week.
For the grief to pass, because there's no more fighting to stay alive.
God is there in the storm in the pain, in the wind, that rips through.
Take care
Chloe
