I had to go sit in a meeting from 9-3 today. I used to tell my mom that I would never be in a profession where we had to sit in meetings bc I get more antsy than my students do when I have to sit and pay attention for long periods of time. Anyhow, it wasn't bad as I figured and food always sweetens a long meeting.

At one point our new assistant director said "If we didn't have weaknesses, we would be perfect. And if we were perfect, we would not need God." I have no idea what the context was (did I mention I tend to be a little ADD?!), but I got to thinking about it in my personal life. In the last 4 months I have seen weaknesses that I have that I didn't know were there to the extent that they were. Initially, this was very discouraging to me. Last night as I was driving home from the airport, I got to thinking about what to do about these weaknesses and the verse in the New Testament hit me like a brick..."in your weakness I am made strong..." We are weak and God can be glorified in that. I can smile a little easier realizing that God loves us inspite of our weaknesses and has told us that He will give us the strength to do the tasks He has set before us.

I guess the meeting was worthwhile afterall. ;)
