I feel so much stronger than I have in a long time preceding. And it's not a bravado type of strength. It really is a true strength, a spiritual strength. I feel more centered and unmovable than I have in a very long time. My strength is not flighty or flippant but rather I feel a substantive strength that if nurtured, if shepherded, will grow into an abundance of strength, forged through God's will, allowed through God's good graces.
I was just meditating on a verse, a verse that says:
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. -- Romans 8:28
I truly believe that. Looking back upon some of the mistakes and events of my life I can see the Hand of God weaving a beautiful tapestry, and while I saw it often as pain and confusion I can now see the outlines of a story, a testament even, that I can turn around and point to for my family and say with no equivocation, "Look what the Lord has done."
