I am so touched by your realization about not being strong, as I have been having that same realization myself. So beautiful!

The hindsight view is encouraging, because you're standing in the grace you couldn't see before. I've had a difficult time lately, particularly with loneliness. I haven't felt the pain of missing a loved one like this, but your words were still real to me. Thank you for the reminder that it's okay to hold on by one finger. My weakness is okay. And He. is. incredibly. stronger. The song "None But Jesus" has been on my heart too... <i>In the chaos and confusion I know You're sovereign still. In the moment of my weakness, You give me grace to do Your will. When You call, I won't refuse...each new day, again, I'll choose... That there is no one else for me...none but Jesus..."</i> Thank you for being real! It’s been so neat to look back with you, Ashleigh.

The song “None But Jesus” has been on my heart too…

In the chaos and confusion I know You’re sovereign still.
In the moment of my weakness, You give me grace to do Your will.
When You call, I won’t refuse…each new day, again, I’ll choose…
That there is no one else for me…none but Jesus…”

Thank you for being real!
