Never more than I can handle.

Have you ever heard the saying, "God will not give you more than you can handle."
I have been finding comfort is this saying for years...ever since I understood what it meant.
It made me realize that whenever I hit a rough patch, I must be able to handle it.
I have figured something out...God totally gives me more than I can handle.
 
I can not handle this!
I can not stand not having my kids in my arms.
I can not stand waiting, waiting, and waiting some more.
I can not stand the fact that our kids are growing up without us...they truly are losing their baby faces.
Some days I feel like I have fallen down and can't get up...its just too overwhelming to stand up.
Then God picks me up.
 
I can not handle this....which causes me to cry out to my Jesus who CAN handle this!
I think that God gives us more than we can handle so we learn to rely on Him.
I think He wants to grow and stretch us.
How could he do that if he only gave us things we could "handle".
2 Cor. 12:10 "....the weaker I get, the stronger I become."
I get so weak, that I have to cry out to God to hold me up.
I let His strength be what keeps me moving forward.
Its a beautiful thing.

We need $6,000 in the next 3-5 weeks.  Please keep this special need in your prayers.
