That's the reminder I heard God whisper to me in the frenzy that posed both a logistical and a very physical challenge I seemed ill equipped for. There was, literally, no time to debate or stress over the seeming lack of an answer to prayer that could have spared me having to tackle something that simply was not a one man job...let alone a one woman job! It became obvious, very quickly, that the promise "I can do all things through who Christ strengthens me" was about to be put to the test in a big way! My faith would need to be in the hope that God really "doesn't give you more than you can handle."
I guess He didn't. "We" got'er done...just He and I ..and the "alone" time was awesome. It's truly amazing how your ability to hear is heightened by your freedom to listen. During the hours my body was challenging muscles I didn't know I had, the Lord was challenging my heart and mind with the spiritual exercises of prayer, praise, and worship. My "body" may hurt tomorrow but my faith, trust and confidence in Jesus "alive" and with me have been energized.
