I am the strongest person on Earth!

This summer my strength has been tested, at the beginning of the summer if you asked me if I thought I had any strength at all I would have very timidly told you that I had a little.  Which is still true, by myself  I am one of the weakest people I know, but with the Lord I am the strongest person on Earth.
I have had this song going through my head these past few days and I wanted to share some of it with you:


Be strong in the lord and never give up hope
your gonna do great things I already know
Gods got his hand on you so don't live life in fear,
Forgive and forget, but don't forget why your hear
Take your time and pray.
These are the words I would say.
"These are the words I would say"
by: Sidewalk Prophets


I am not the type of person who likes to climb anything, yet this summer I have had to keep climbing over walls literally.  It scared me so badly, I was in tears, because I was so scared. Looking back now I know why I was scared, it's because I didn't trust myself to keep me safe,and not fall or lose my balance.  Which is understandable because I do not have some of the best balance in the world, in fact I probably have some of the worst balance in the world.  Through all the walls I climed I learned that while I do not trust my feet to keep me safe I have to trust God to keep me safe, sometimes he does this by simply sending someone to walk in front of me and show me that I can do it, or he just makes me so determined to get over the wall that I don't think about all the what ifs that scare me.
  Another way my strength has been tested this summer was last week, I praticitaped in an intense theatre camp  where we did hard dancing all day for a week.  In a week time my lovely knee problem started acting up and I brusied the bottem of my foot, for those of you who are not performers you may not of ever heard of the phrase "the show must go on".  That is exactly what I had to do I had to persever with a knee that hurt every time we moved and even when we were not moving, and a foot that hurt so badly everytime I put it down, did I metion that both of my injuries are on my right knee/foot.  It took all my strength to keep chugging along. 
   Than I heard this song on my i-pod, and it really hit me that I have no reason to struggle or be afraid or think that I am not strong enough to do this, because I have God on my side and he is my strength, I can turn to him when I am weak and he will give strength.  When I am afraid he will comfort me, he will hold me in his righteous right hand and say do not fear for I am with you. 
  Thank you god for giving me the strength and determination to cimb over the obsticles in my life.  I could not do it with out you.
