Strength

I wrote this in response to my entry on 7/13/06: In my mind: Weakness

I think I have figured out what I need, so that I can overcome my weaknesses. For so long I have tried to be so independent and so strong on my own. I was ‘in charge’ of my life and doing what I chose. But now that I look back I realize I wasn’t doing anything I truly, deeply wanted to do. I let others decide who I was, the image I portrayed and what I did.

I know the main reason I am changing my life and doing the things I really want to do now is because I realized I couldn’t do it alone anymore. I needed help, and always will. I get that help and strength from the Lord, my family, the bishop, my case worker, and my good friends.

God doesn’t want us to be alone and true freedom comes from relying on others help.
