Join our conversation!Do you boast gladly of your weaknesses?Let’s Journey Together and spend a midweek Moment with Father. I’m Linda Goldfarb, and I want to encourage and inspire your walk with the Lord. For more encouragement, please visit LindaGoldfarb.com. I’m so glad you’re here. Shhh... I have weaknesses.I’ve never gotten out of bed with the intent of shouting to the world, “Good morning, may I share my weaknesses with you?” In fact, the less anyone knows about my weaknesses, the better. Right?!?Several of my weaknesses woke me up over the last week, and ignoring them was not an option.As a get-it-done gal, I naturally move fast, work until the cows come home, and check off boxes with glee. Not so much of late. And I’m struggling to be okay with my weaknesses. Can you relate?Giggling out loud is the answer to my exposed weaknesses. Seriously. They are what they are, and denying the fact just doesn’t cut it. I’m in tortoise mode. The cows are coming home without me. And most boxes are left unchecked. And God. Despite. No... In the midst—of my weaknesses, God’s power prevails. We read in 2 Corinthians 12:9, “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’  Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me” (2 Corinthians 12:9 ESV).And God is able to use every aspect of my life to reveal His power in and through me. Whoa! Imagine everything we see as a negative used to magnify the glory of God. He is beyond amazing. He is our Everything.What weakness do you want to boast about? How are you seeing God in the midst of it?Let’s journey together Hello Father.

James 1:22 May YHWH bless you, keep you, and guide you in all you do.
