The Strength and Courage Derived From Love: I Need It and Am Experiencing It

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength,
 while loving someone deeply gives you courage. - Lao Tzu

     The dreaded moment has arrived. I have to do something that is perhaps the most difficult thing I will do all year. Got your curiosity?

     I've been gripped with fear---not typical feelings for this innkeeper.  I've surrounded myself with the support of the many who care for me.  This action is something I must do.

     I'll let you know how I come out from this event. In the meantime, your prayers are dearly welcomed. And this I know...........

     God can do for me what I can't do for myself.

     I'm loved by many.

     If I keep placing one foot in front of the other, the scenery will change.

     Peace comes not from the absence of conflict (or trial) but from our ability to cope with it (I've been doing the best I can, but I am found lacking, at this moment).

     I am not my circumstances.

     Having loving, supportive friends is incredibly helpful, especially, during this time I'm going through.

     If I keep my face towards the sun I won't see much of darkness.

     Understanding is the boobie prize.  :)

     I walk by faith, not sight.

     Did I say I'm loved by many? (I am, still, this is a rough time.)

     My present challenges gives me the chance to revisit past issues in a deeper way and allows me to challenge old thoughts.

      I am in God's care, wanting to go with the flow---His will for my life.  I want Him to direct my attention to what he would have me to be.

      I'll check in with you later. In the meantime, your support and prayers are valued.

                       The Innkeeper
