My reflection today:
“Sometimes life just throws us a curve and we’re often so taken by surprise that we feel helpless. We forget how capable we are; we forget how to summon our strengths, square our shoulders, and find hope. When the unexpected happens, it’s good to remember that you don’t have to accept defeat or bow to circumstances. You just need to call on that courageous spirit within you, let your confidence shine through, and remember how capable you are. Sometimes it helps to be reminded of those qualities that keep you strong and moving forward. Remember those other times that try to get you down but didn’t stand a chance because you are strong and capable and a winner through and through!” Barbara J. Hall
I believe that inner strength is God’s spirit within us. Sometimes we just try to rely on our own strength and it doesn’t always work. We need to tap down into that Spirit within us to get us through difficult times. We also need to take time and thank God for the good times as well.
