My Weakness = His Strength

So where do I start.
Life.... like the ocean?
It's a bit corny, I know. I believe it though. As cliché as it may sound.
Life comes in waves with lulls or those moments of calm in between.
I like the lull, that moment where I feel I can take a breather, ya know?
The kids are behaving almost perfectly, hubby has tons of time off work,
And I'm just in an overall good mood.

What do you do when the waves come though?
Your health is compromised, children struggling at school, you lost your job,
divorce, etc.

Although our "waves" may look different they will inevitably come. We can think
thank God that's not me, or wow that poor person, life is unfair, blah blah blah.
Then they come..you know the waves.

So, I've come to view the waves different.  Instead of wishing or praying them away,
I will wait. I will wait but keeping this special idea in my heart "Give God your weakness
and He will give you His strength". So I don't particularly love them because that's hard
sometimes. I appreciate them though because in the waves I can stand firm knowing
that Gods perfect strength is revealed. I know my own strength is not really strength.

2 Corinthians 12:9 AMP but He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you [My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enough—always available—regardless of the situation]; for My power is being perfected [and is completed and shows itself most effectively] in your weakness.” Therefore, I will all the more gladly boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may completely enfold me and may dwell in me.
