Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Maybe that is why I am feeling melancholy today. I feel an empty place. I feel left out. I feel powerless to help Glen, and to strengthen Holly.
I have Lydia. She will be picking me up soon, and then she has to go to the first football game of the season, wearing the new uniforms for the first time ever. I feel left out. I won't be there to see the first public performance of her senior year show with the band. I won't be there to encourage and critique. I am powerless.
I, though, will go to a discipleship conference with church. I am looking forward to it, but at the same time, I know that even if I know the tactics, I am powerless. I think that is what cast my soul down so yesterday; my powerlessness.
Instead, my powerlessness should be a source of delight, for in my weakness, God says, His strength is made perfect.
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.

I hope the conference went well and that you learned much!
By the way, I have tagged you to play the "What's in a name?" meme. If you decide you would like to join in, simply jump over to my blog to read the rules. If you don't... well, I'll have to take my little red wagon and go home. Seriously, no pressure, just thought it might be fun.
Blessings, Kim
