So with the Lord He takes and He refuses;
Finds Him men whom others deny.
Neither strong ones nor mighty he chooses;
But such as John, or Gideon or I.
~ F.B. Meyer
Today I had one of my (becoming more frequent) "aha!" moments. You know, the ones where you realize what a doofus you are.
I was thinking about Gideon, and how God reduced his army from 32,000 soldiers to a mere 300. Then He exchanged their swords for trumpets and candles. And the Midianites were defeated. Because it was God's battle. Where He sends, He equips.
My feeling of being overwhelmed? It's because I've been trying to figure out how I'm going to handle it. And it's not my battle.
And if God uses the weak and helpless, He certainly picked the right one. So here I am, use me, Lord.
**P.S. I've noticed a tremendous decline in the hits to my blog since I started sharing my spiritual journey. But if you're offended by my recent posts, I'm not going to apologize. If you'd rather read about my boring life than what God's doing in it, sorry for that. I share only because I hope to encourage the handful of you who are still reading, because if God can work through me, He's got great things in store for you!

I am proud of you Lori. Too bad we can't all work in the Christian workplace that you have found. It would sure make life easier.
Oh trust me, Memaw, I feel blessed to be here. Well, at least most of the time!
I am so offended!
I still read it EVERYDAY! I love hearing about both your spiritual journey AND your daily drivel :) Keep on postin'!
Same here lori, I like jen sit everymorning and sometimes every evening as well and read your blog. I enjoy the scripture as i do not read the bible often enough. So keep on and hope your enjoying the new job and house.
I'm here and encouraged by your words. Also remember David and Goliath...God makes what seems impossible, completely and totally possible...through Him and not our own strength.
thanks for this post--I'm right there with ya!
WOW! I've been missing out by not visiting your blog more often...you never cease to amaze me, but, why should I be anything other than NOT in awe of your spiritual side...something about those of us from the west central part of our state that keeps us grounded!
HUGS!
