You know the saying, ‘Opposites attract?’ Walt and I are extreme opposites. I think the older we get, the more evident it becomes. We love each other very much, but over the years, we’ve learned to appreciate the differences and realize that together, we are a formidable force. If I’m weak in an area, it’s his strong point, and I let him have it.

It was not always that way. Those first years when you fight to keep the tenuous hold on who you were alone, in becoming what you will be together.

Do you know that in every area of weakness, God is our strength? He is. We go through a similar struggle to retain control in our relationship with Him. At first, we come broken and commit ‘completely’ to Him until He asks us to do something difficult, then it’s a whole different story.

David would not have been king without Goliath. Moses wouldn’t have rescued Israel without Pharaoh. Jesus wouldn’t have been crucified without Judas. God has a plan for us. It’s ok not to understand. That’s what trust in a loving God is all about.

Just know this, while He has your hand, and He is leading you down an unfamiliar path that appears a struggle to walk on, what happens on the journey will prepare you for your destination.

John 14:3, “When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.”
