I wish I did a better job of sheparding than I do. Sometimes you feel like you are at a dead end and nowhere to go. But I guess thats where God wants us at times to see how much we need Him and trust Him instead of ourselves
Merry Christmas, Karen.

@UnworthyofHisgrace - But I guess thats where God wants us at times to see how much we need Him and trust Him instead of ourselves
Yes! Exactly. We can't know His sufficiency until we recognize our own insufficiency! We're humbled & emptied, at the end of our rope, but then He comes in the fullness of time and fills us up with Himself.
@FRANK@revelife - Thank you, Frank. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and are blessed as you worship Him today (tomorrow, for you).
