Ever have something come to you that just hits you like it was meant just for you, on that particular day? That happened to me today, and it was a blog post from Melody Ross, my creativity idol. It can be found here http://bravegirlsclub.com/blog/?p=903 So, being the brave girl that I am, I woke up today feeling rather weak...not weak in body...weak in strength, in willpower, weak in greeting the day...most days I feel like I can be a success at most things, but not today...thus my post on FB...Monica has "nothing to say..." Sometimes I feel weak because I cannot handle every attitude and challenge Erica throws at me, sometimes I feel weak when the m&ms are calling me, and sometimes I just feel like I'm really not very good at doing much of anything.
What I have realized when reading Melody's post, is that having weaknesses makes you realize how strong you are at other things. I think creatively...there isn't an hour that goes by that I don't wish I could be in the scraploft creating something. Sometimes my mind is completely consumed with what I can make, when I take the time. I find myself feeling weak when I choose to be creative over doing mundane tasks around the house. It's actually a STRENGTH. It says, You know who you are... you are a creative person who needs a creative outlet. Another self proclaimed weakness is that I love to bake, but tend to see it as a weakness, since it's not always the most nutritious thing to eat, but I'm good at it, and I love the whole process of baking. And the bonus, my family enjoys the finished product. I am going to continue making my personal list, of weaknesses AND strengths that are brought out because of them...and I hope you can too...so...I guess I did have "something to say" today...
Isaiah 40:29 (New International Version)
29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
