His Strength is Perfect

The last few days I've been feeling very tired-very weak, wondering how I was going to survive the rest of this wait. I always thought that once we got out of PGN and Isabella Faye was legally ours, I'd have no problem-that I'd just peacefully, happily wait! But the truth is, as I posted the other day, I'm mad and I miss her and I'm so tired of being strong.

Fortunately, I don't have to be Strong. As I was praying today, God reminded me of this song, His Strength is Perfect by By CeCe Winans.

I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength
But sometimes I wonder what He can do through me
No great success to show
No glory of my own
Yet in my weakness He is there to let me know

His strength is perfect when our strength is gone
He’ll carry us when we can’t carry on
Raised in His power, the weak becomes strong
His strength is perfect
His strength is perfect

We can only know the power that He holds
When we truly see how deep our weakness goes
His strength in us begins
When ours comes to an end
He hears our humble cry and proves again

His strength is perfect when our strength is gone
He’ll carry us when we can’t carry on
Raised in His power the weak becomes strong
His strength is perfect
His strength is perfect

This last verse is so powerful to me:

We can only know the power that He holds
When we truly see how deep our weakness goes

I am so weak, so human, so frail without Him I'm nothing. And, this process, where so many times I've found myself at rock bottom, I've just learned more and more how Strong He is!

His strength in us begins
When ours comes to an end

My strength is gone. My strength has come to an end. After a year of waiting, I'm tired and weary and I can't take another step. So I will let His strength carry me...no matter how long it takes for Isabella Faye's birth certificate to come, I will let God carry me. I will survive this and grow from this a learn from this because it is in His strength I rest. I will hope in the Lord and He will renew my strength.

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isa 40:31 NIV
