It all seems so backwards, you know. But yes, let's give God the glory for using weak vessels like us. <blockquote>But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed...(2 Cor. 4:7-11)</blockquote> I’ve pondered this so many times.

I am most encouraged by my friends when they show their vulnerablity. Keep claiming His promises! I have been doing that in the face of things that cause anxiety- it does make a difference.

But also, I would add, that maybe when you are feeling weak, your friends can surround you with support to hold up your arms to HIM (like Moses and Aaron). So, my friend, How can I best do something to hold up your arms? Email or call to let me know! It’s so hard to learn this and yet so freeing to!

I've already seen some comfort! Just since writing this, I went to do a load of laundry, and heard my mom playing the piano. I recognized it as her favorite song, and how amazingly timely for my state of mind--it was He Looked Beyond My Fault (to the tune of Danny Boy): Amazing grace shall always be my song of praise, for it was grace that brought my liberty; I do not know just why He came to love me so, He looked beyond my fault and saw my need. I shall forever life mine eyes to Calvary, to view the cross where Jesus died for me, how marvelous the grace that caught my falling soul; He looked beyond my fault and saw my need.
