Lessons Learned 1

1. It’s in my weakness that I’m strong. When my numbers were out of control I began to wonder how I was going to be able to manage with this condition. So much affects one’s blood sugar – not just diet and exercise; but sleep and stress among other things as well. It was in a moment of panic that God spoke to me that He was in control. That my MOST important task is to cultivate my relationships with HIM. When I am aligned with Him I am able to give my worries to Him, my frustrations to Him…my weakness to Him. He can more than handle it. As a matter of fact, I have NO CHANCE of being healthy unless I trust and rest in Him.

Can you relate? If so, check these verses out…

God’s strong hand is on you; he’ll promote you at the right time. Live carefree before God; he is most careful with you. 1 Peter 5:7 The Message

Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
Matthew 11:30 The Message

My grace is enough; it’s all you need. 
 My strength comes into its own in your weakness.
Once I heard that, I was glad to let it happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift. It was a case of Christ’s strength moving in on my weakness. Now I take limitations in stride, and with good cheer, these limitations that cut me down to size—abuse, accidents, opposition, bad breaks. I just let Christ take over! And so the weaker I get, the stronger I become.
2 Corinthians 12:10 The Message

Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. Matthew 6:33 NLT
