oops had an issue with my audio in the last episode...this sounds way better (:
What in your life do you feel like you can't escape from? What have you prayed for God to remove or change and he replied with a simple "no." I know that's a lot of different things for me and in my past I used to think because of them I was weak. I would hide and not admit to things I was struggling until I came across 2 corinthians 12:9. Jesus said to Paul, "My grace is sufficient for you, my power is made perfect in weakness." And Paul said, "therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness, so that Christ's power may rest on me." Paul said he would GLADLY boast about his weakness...and ever since then little by little I gave those "thorns" that have been in my side over to God, accepted them, learned how to truly love them, and show even them off. Embracing Your Thorn...let's talk about it!
