You are still missed around here... but a little closer is a little better! Thanks for sharing your heart and identifying with me when I go out on a limb. :-) You are so loved! <BR/><BR/>Mary - How fun! Thanks for the verse... I struggle with balancing that reality all the time. It's such an odd thing... to know His power is manifested in our weakness, but yet feeling so desperate to get rid of it. Thanks for your encouragement. Love you!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00938751247189632308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914223.post-1162865443606039112006-11-06T21:10:00.000-05:002006-11-06T21:10:00.000-05:00Your "inner battle" sounds so familiar.

I too think I need things to go a certain way and am so surprised when the Lord doesn't follow MY plan. <BR/><BR/>But you know, I also love what Paul says in II Corinthians 12:7 and following (paraphrased) that to keep him from becoming arrogant he had a thorn in his flesh that the Lord would not take away from him. God told him, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." And the final bit of verse 10, "For when I am weak, then I am strong." I have this verse on my desk at work. I need reminding of these very things all of the time!<BR/><BR/>So glad to touch base with you, Heather! I'd really like to catch up a little! My e-mail address is on my blog.<BR/><BR/>Many blessings to you and your family!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08964235745097265745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914223.post-1162856737169717922006-11-06T18:45:00.000-05:002006-11-06T18:45:00.000-05:00I can totally relate to these feelings, Heather, a...I can totally relate to these feelings, Heather, and it seems to be a constant battle for me too!
