I am a firm believer that the Holy Spirit is God's messenger. Of course, He has to get pretty creative to be able to get the messages through to us ~ sometimes we can hardly see the trees for the forest!"When I am weak you are strong"
"He said to me,'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong." 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
I always thought this verse was figurative not literal ~ but as my strength waxes and wanes ~ it has become a literal translation for me. Personally, I can't rely on myself right now to be strong ~ that doesn't mean I won't put up a good fight, but I need to lean on someone who can be my source of strength. All of this is quite the humbling experience. I pray that after my physical strength returns one day that I will remember this feeling that I have now and never forget it!
Hi
ReplyDeleteA friend and fellow blogger was just our randomly searching thru blogs and found yours. She immediately sent me the link to your site after seeing the picture of your MRI.
I was diagnosed with Chiari on August 16, 2005. My blog is at http://www.thestolenolive.net/tapenade. I have posted a lot of my episodes with doctors and such under the "category" My Body Is Falling Apart.
Nice to see another blogger out there with Chiari. May you have a pain free day.
