Finding strength in falling apart

We don't always have to be strong. Sometimes, our strength is expressed in being vulnerable. Sometimes, we need to fall apart to regroup and stay on track.

Do we have to always be strong? Can't a person "fall apart" once and awhile? The answer is yes, absolutely. Give yourself permission to feel weak, scared, or vulnerable. After all, we are only human and we get tired, angry, and irritable - sometimes for no reason at all.

We know we are strong. Think of all of the hurdles you've jumped, the mountains you've climbed, and the recovery you've made. You have proven your strength to keep it all together and now give witness to your Higher Power at work in your life.

God is our source of strength. He holds us up when we can't do it ourselves. He gives us the permission to fall apart and the strength to get back on our feet.

Never knew what strength I had until it all fell apart and I was too tired to puck up the pieces, true surrender. Thanks Terry!
