2 Corinthians 12:9⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've allowed God to be strong in places where I am weak. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been living in another country on my own for quite some time. I left the Philippines thinking that I can just fly back when I needed to but the pandemic changed the course of history. It changed almost all my plans, took all the important dates off the calendar, moved the big day countless times, and left me wondering when it will all fall into place. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Occasionally, I think of jumping on a plane and just leaving everything I've done here so far- but why would I do that if He has given me and is still giving me everything I need? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"My grace is sufficient for you." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I couldn't agree more. Without His grace, I wouldn't be able to get out of bed and enjoy the work I do with children. I am humbled when He makes His presence obvious in areas where I am weakest. He constantly gives me a nudge on my shoulder and tells me, "Hey, look at all these people around you who watch over you and make time for you. Have I ever left you all alone?" I've been so so sooo blessed as He sends people my way. I need people and He knows that so well about me. 🥲 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I still look forward to the day I get to be with those I love most; while I'm here, I get to enjoy the same love I would get back home. ♡ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In my weakness, I am made strong. One day at a time. ♡ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
