What doesn’t break you…

If you go through something difficult, come to the point where your decisions are pivotal and influence the road ahead, remind yourself of this. The way you deal with the bumps in the road, mountains to climb, and grand impasses that get in your way on the road to where you’re going are as much a definition of yourself as that chosen destination that you brag about to your peers, except they need no verbal waxing.

Lately I’ve gone through a couple incidents that have required me to ask God what my actions should be, how I should handle it, what my priorities are, and what my focus ahead should be. I’ve been strengthened in those moments because the incident gave me a “tougher” skin – because I’m trying to let God be my tough skin. I’m allowed to be humanely weak, but I rest in a divine strength. I’ve been made stronger.
