Strong as a (Foster) Mother

This foster care life is strange and beautiful and full.

And, this past week, with all its strange, beautiful fullness left me feeling anything but strong. Full disclosure, I never feel strong. I never feel like I have it together or that I'm doing any of this well. Weak would be the word. I feel plain old weak.

But. I know that this is where my strength lies. In admitting weakness and embracing limitations and relying on His strength. I know that when I am weak, then I am strong.

You, friend, aren't strong because you have it all together. You are strong, because He is strong.

Embrace the weakness you find in yourself so that you can access the strength available in Him.

You may feel weak, but you're as strong as a (foster) mother.
