I was thinking today about life.. well mainly mine. I am so grateful for all of it. The good and the bad (and there have been some REALLY bad). How weird it is to look back at bad times and be THANKFUL. That is not of me. I am selfish and self absorbed. I want to be babied and pitied and like attention, but Christ in me can make me content. He makes me down right JOYFUL.. when I should be crying or sad, when the world says "feel sorry for yourself, you've earned it" - I can't (unless I get a bad haircut - which just happened, then I wallow in self pity - ha ha ha). The really bad things are completely endurable with the foundation of Christ that has been laid in my heart. The Lord meets my every need! Truly. It's amazing!! I really can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!
