My Word!

Today I read a blog of a woman (natalienortonphoto.blogspot.com) of a woman who lost a battle for her sons life. I found this blog from a link from another who said that her entries were incredible and that she needed our prayers. But in the blog she had so much faith in the Lord. Now I wonder would I have been as strong as she was and continues to be. I'm still crying as I think about it. She continues to praise God even through these hardest hours. I know sometimes my life (to me anyways) seems very difficult but it is people like these that remind it can always be worse and I get to decide how I react to it. How grateful I am for a Father in Heaven who loves us so much that he will make it possible for us to conquer these horrible challenges and come out stronger. I know this from experience and even though I still don't have a job, and I haven't had any really good leads yet, I'm strong knowing that somehow it will work out. HE LOVES US!! I know that this is a beginning of a year and this is the time to make new promises to ourselves, make goals, so this year the word I'm choosing to try to define what I want to do this year is "Strength" I want to be a woman of Strength to be a woman who could conquer challenges as significant as these (even though I hope to all ends that I never have to). I want to be a strong woman inside and our spiritually, emotionally, and physically.
