Inner Strenght

 Ephesians 3:16
 That according to the riches of His glory He may grant you to be strengthen with His power through His spirit in your inner being


 The past few months I have been learning what it means to lean in on God has my inner strength. This year in New York has  changed me in ways I can't begin to describe. From every emotional peak my God has been there. I came to New York not really knowing what I was getting myself into. I left a familiar  place as well in people I know. I walked out of a job that  I was really only there for a month.

I watched God provide a place for me to rest my head til I could move into an apartment. God brought me family  even though I have been miles away from my family in Kentucky. He helped me see my strength comes from Him and not me. There have been moments emotionally where I said to, "God are you sure you sent the right girl to the city?"

I learned to let go of leaning on my emotions and  to lean in on His thoughts because my heart is weak. New York has made me a stronger person in many ways. Especially in the last few weeks where I just felt like my mind & heart was weak.  I have also been reminded in small ways such as singing " This Little Light Of Mine" with my supervisors son that everyday we have a choice to let our light shine. We can choose to let our emotions rule us or let Christ be our inner strength. So, what seems impossible or  may  make you feel weary are actually great moments because they draw you back into God!

I am thankful He has used New York in my life to continue making the person He is sculpting and  rather were sent to New York or  life's circumstances seem daunting know that we have to choice to lean in.
