not a full heart...
So today marks the end of a short school week for the girls. I had a light week overall, but my heart is still heavy at the end of it. Sometimes I struggle to look past the things in my life that make me feel heavy and burdened, others I do ok. For some reason this week is a very heavy week. I know what I know. I believe ALL of God's truths to be true. I still struggle.

You have been heavy on my heart now for a week and I have been praying over you at night and as I have been doing my studies I was reminded of something in my Beth Moore 90 Days with Jesus book I want to share with you. Beth in this study is talking about the reference in Luke 8:42-48 with the woman who had been bleeding for years. She pointed out "I love the fact that the woman came trembling, even though she had exercised enough faith to draw forth the healing power of Jesus. It's good to know that the faithful can still come trembling." She reminds us that Christ's power supply is limitless. So she encourages us by saying, "Now hear this: Jesus has more than enough power! Does He seem to be on His way to another need, one that you perceive may be more important than yours? More a matter of life and death? Not a problem. Reach out and grab that hem! You are not going unnoticed." And my favorite that she points out,"I want you to identify your greatest need, the deepest desire of your heart. Write it down. Two or three? Write them all. Don't tell me how trivial they seem in comparison to what others are facing. Write them! Then after you've written them all, I want you to consider your list carefully. Now I want you to say out loud: "Jesus, You have enough power." I love you and will continue to life up my sister and friend!
