Grace.

I’m learning how to sit in my weakness and allow the power of Christ to work through my weakness for the Glory of God.

Whew! Some days I struggle with giving ALL control to Christ. The battle of the flesh is real y’all.

But let me tell you something. Whenever I surrender and give it all to Christ, He begins to work and I’m privileged to witness the miraculous.

So. I’m starting to understand Apostle Paul more and more:

I’ve witnessed God’s incremental healing and at this point I’m thankful for the last 3-4 years. Y’all the Lord has done some serious work on this girl! And He's yet still refining me.

I’ve been able to clearly see how the Lord has worked in every stage of me getting back to full health and I trust His work; His movements. Ahhhh! He is so Perfect!

It’s the Lord’s grace that has kept me. His grace is healing me and perfecting my character.

I had been praying solely for physical healing, but God in His perfect timing entered the scene and gave me more than I could ask or think. His plans are greater!

God has become my crutch; I can’t walk without Him. I’ve had the privilege of knowing God more deeply while at the same time witnessing His righteous right hand carry me through seasons of loneliness and suffering.

So I’ll tell anyone, Trust the Lord with your whole heart and lean not unto your own understanding. He’s got you and every situation you’re facing. Trust Him 🙏🏾

Until next time.
