Worship strengthens the Weak

It's not surprise that it's been a hard time for me, moving from my family, starting a new life with my husband, taking in a pure breed beagle, leaving my church family, my support team being miles away, and then throw in there dealing with fertility struggles. It's hard. God never promised life would be easy, He never said "You'll never go through anything" He did however promise to leave us companion, a protector within us to help us and guides us and strengthen us. Who? The Holy Spirit.

I am almost through my first week of fertility treatments for my PCOS, and I have to say its been an extremely hard week! Between emotions on the fritz, my emotional buffer gone, and the pains I have had, my appetite is slowly decreasing some would embrace the lack there of eating, but not me, I eat all naturally for the most part to begin with so this concerns me. The only thing my body seems to want is water, ice cold water.

I have been asked why do the fertility treatments so soon, why not wait a little and see what happens, I could get blessed, and I agree I could get blessed with a child, however I also agree that Doctors were given to us by God, yes God will bless us and take care of us but we have to use the tools He has provided us with. I am truly and honestly praying and serving and trusting that my God will provide, He knows the desires of my heart, I am truly blessed to know and love a God that cares so deeply for my well being that He would bless me with an amazing husband who supports me and encourages me, he ensures he's there at every appointment so as a way to be a support and also an encouragement.

Today I am worshipping not for what God has given me, not for what I want, but for who God is in general. I worship because I am alive, I worship because those who I love who aren't alive know God and are with Him. I worship because by worshipping God, who is greater than me, I am strengthened, I am removed from my personal problems, my selfishness, and I am refocused to what it is that God wants my attention for. Never underestimate the power of worshipping with all of your heart.

**Tip: In our home I have multiple avenues of which worship music can be played, I keep an ipod touch and its dock right in my kitchen, a bluetooth speaker in my bathroom, a bluetooth speaker in my living room that can be moved anywhere. I encourage you to think of ways to up the amount of worship that plays in your house, sometimes I even leave worship music on in the background when I leave to run errands.
