suvival

"God gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength." Isaiah 40:29

It was the underlying theme of my heart... SURVIVAL.  With more glitches than i care to remember, we survived an extremely successful Book Fair.  Yet, it NEVER would have happened without a lot of assistance and flexibility from teachers, administration, parents and our school staff.  It took an army with a godly leader to conquer our continuous issues and to finish strong.

But i must say, not a tear was shed (by my co-worker or me) as we snapped close the Book Fair cases this year.  Sometimes success and goodness in life come with heartache, disappointments, anger and disbelief as well as hope and trust.

Like in many of the bookcases some moments (books) we came down to the the last ounce of patience (copy) before relief (more books) arrived. And in many instances, the actual book did not arrive just a refill promise. 

But in the end, we made it. Survival of the fittest is a saying, but survival thanks to a Savior IS A FACT.  We reached the financial goal we wanted, but is was NOT in the manner we planned.

Through our valleys and fog God carries us and provides what we need through His guidance and through others. Today i am still moving slower than usual due to detours and roadblocks last week, but i am still moving.

Friend, whatever you are going through, acknowledge God because He is with you and will provide the strength needed, whether or not you see it, believe it or feel it.  TRUST HIM, because i promise you, He cares immensely for you.

we are loved and chosen by God,

may we live, love and do like we believe it,
