Philippians 4:13

I feel so defeated and uncertain of my future. The Lord says He will never give us more than we can handle. But I'm having a hard time believing that. I feel that this stress is weighing me down. The same mortal enemey continues to attack our family and put her own children in harm's way. I feel like there is no justice for it. I feel like nobody is standing up and saying "You WILL NOT do this anymore!" They just say "Don't do it. You're not allowed to." And yet she continues to choose violent and abusive men with gang affiliation and a history of drug abuse, and allow her children around them. And then when the kids' dad uses his status as the custodial parent to make the executive decision that they are not safe at her home, she throws a temper tantrum and tries to hold him in contempt of court.

And yet the Lord has been so gracious to us. We don't deserve the grace that he has give us, but we are so so so so so unbelievably thankful!!!

How in the world did I end up in such a sticky messy situation?? Sometimes I feel like the Lord deliberately piles these messes on us because He knows that I will stay focused on Him. But we have had so many blessing from Him up until now, we can't possibly be worthy of more?! It's extremely hard to wrap my head around.

Keep us, Jesus. And Thank you for Your abundant undeserved grace and mercy. Please use this situation to draw us closer to You, God. In Jesus name,
Amen.
