Weak Strength

I am strong and I am weak.

Sometimes I am strong.  I celebrate all I am capable of doing.  I am great at my job.  I can function physically.  I ran an easy mile the other day.  I am a good mom.  I'm a good wife.

Yet, at the same time I am weak.  I may be good at my job, but I still feel tired.  I am more capable than I should be, yet I still have so many weaknesses.

Paul said, "When I am weak, then You are strong."  He was speaking about how he can overcome his weaknesses because God gave him the strength to do so.

Perhaps that is why I feel my weaknesses and strengths simultaneously.  It isn't really that I am strong, it is that my Daddy makes me strong in my weakest moments.

So, here's to celebrating strength and weakness. 
Here's to each victory and each difficulty.  In the end, I passed through and am still here. 
Here's to moving forward every day. 
Here's to being strong when we really just want to lay down. 
Here's to being weak and not being afraid of what will come next.
Here's to our weak strength.
