Finding Strength When I Feel Weak

I mentioned in my last post that I decided to keep this blog as a means to help me heal and to help others feel a sense of togetherness in times when you may feel alone.  We may never meet but bonds seem to form between people who share a common experience.  My experience will never be like yours, nor yours like mine but there are sure to be similarities.

If I had only one thing to share today about the tragedy that changed my life, it would be something my Mother-In-Law sent me in a text on the morning of 12-24-12.  She said simply, “Remember- ‘what the devil uses for evil, GOD uses for His good.’”  She said more but this really has stuck with me and continues to rescue me over and over again.  

I have seen the good in so many people.  The good has overwhelmed me time and time again since that horribly evil act was carried out.  When I start to lose sight of the good or I forget to appreciate the good, or when people stop showing good, I have to remind myself to BE THE GOOD.  It isn’t always easy and there are days that I want to hide and yell at the top of my lungs, “I just can’t be the good today!  It is someone else’s turn!!!”  But when I do find the strength to be the good, I feel strengthened and that is so very good.
