This is what I desire today. To be safe thru this storm. Life has been rough these last few weeks. Even more so than normal. God showed me that He wants to be my strong tower, my safe place. There are times when I can rest in this truth and others where I struggle with being still and knowing He's God. Knowing that He's got me. This is a place of growth that I'm struggling thru right now. A time of testing that I feel as though I'm failing miserably.
Courtney, my 16 year old, is taking a bench mark test today and asked me to pray that she didn't fail too miserably. I prayed for her and asked God to help her with this test, help her to do well. That's what I feel like right now. Like I don't have the faith to ask that I do well in this test, but only have enough faith to ask that I just don't fail too miserably.
It amazes me how God uses my kids to teach me things. Things that I'm not sure if I'd see if it came at me a different way, but when it comes from my kids it makes sense to me. I see the things He's showing me and I am blessed because it is a visual that I can understand, that I can wrap my mind around.
Not sure how much (if any) of that pertains to the title that I gave this post before I started it. It just sounded good.
Sorry for my randomness today. I just needed a place to get some thoughts out of my head.
May God be your stronghold, your safe place today.
