Earthen vessel

Through the years, Paul’s description rings true. God forms the earthen vessel for a purpose.

To display His truth. Reveal His glory. 

Somewhere along the way 2 Corinthians 4:7 becomes a life verse for me. A reminder of my weakness and His strength. What I’m here for.

But one year, I wrestle with that image. In a new way. Because someone I always consider strong is suddenly weak.

When I am afraid

Even after the kids were in bed fast asleep.
