My lack is His strength

Today I lack the energy to do what I need to get done. Going to take my grandkids, Ivy and Luke, up to my Dad's and step-mom's. That in itself is an endevour I need MUCH STRENGTH for, (family issues can be the most draining things, know what I mean?) But before that trip even starts I need to finish packing, empty my car, pack my car, go sit with Alfred for a few hours, THEN meet up with the kids and start the drive, the 3-4 HOUR drive up to Paso Robles. And I am TIRED today. Boo hooing and all that pity is going to get me nowhere. So, I go outside with my coffee and the first thing I do is start thanking God for everything... Everything I see, everything I have, everyone I know... Cause I have no energy to do much else, but I do know that He does have more than enough for me..So I praise Him and I thank Him and then I open up my devotional, Jesus Calling and He tells me this...

"When some basic need is lacking, time, energy, money, consider yourself blessed. Your very lack is an opportunity to latch onto Me in unashamed dependence. When you begin a day with inadequate resources, you must concentrate your efforts on the present moment. This is where you are meant to live-- in the present. It is the place where I await you. Awareness of your inadequacy is a blessing, training you to rely wholeheartedly on Me. 
"The truth is self-sufficiency is a myth perpetuated by pride and temporary success. Health and wealth can disappear instantly, as can life itself. Rejoice in your insufficiency, knowing that My power is made perfect in your weakness"
Jam 1:2 2Cor 12:9 

So I Surrender Lord... I admit I don't have the energy, time, or strength to accomplish everything I need to do without You! I'm relying on YOU to get me through today Lord... And you know what? I KNOW YOU WILL! I can already feel Your energy and power helping me. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Father. Thank you Holy Spirit. Now... I'm off!!! Let's go!!! Have a blessed weekend all!!!
