Limits

It’s the beginning of a new week and sadly the to-do list has been carried over from the week before. Again. Our work never really ends, does it?.

Being diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder has shaped my everyday life. Some most days it takes real determination and focus to stay on task.

Our lives are disrupted with interruptions, random phone calls and unscheduled time. Social media and scrolling through news feeds and candy crush can eat up hours of time.

But I believe God has a plan and purpose for each of us in our every day. {Jeremiah 29:11}

We all become distracted, busy and overwhelmed by life and what comes our way. You know those kind of weeks, right? The ones where we feel pulled in way too many directions and just can’t seem to find our focus? That’s exactly how I’ve been feeling lately.

I wonder if that is what walking through jell-o is like.

But I have come to a better understanding or perhaps I’ve at least grown used to my limitations over the years. Maybe that’s the piece of the puzzle.

Time. 

Time to accept something and move past the obstacle-ness of it. 

Reading Scripture and seeing so many examples of God’s faithfulness has been amazingly helpful. Things don’t always come easily for his people. In fact, we’re promised troubles in this life. {John 16:33}

So what do we have? We have God with us. {Hebrews 13:5} 

While can’t erase our limits. Or even wish them away. We can however, learn to be content with them…to being thankful for our strengths, those things we can do, even when our limits are still there.
