There have indeed been many small victories. The victory of January 5 feels like winning the war, though I know well that other battles lie ahead. <br /><br />I can identify with Mother Theresa, who said, "I know God won't give me anything I can't handle. I just wish He didn't trust me so much." Yet I know it is not His trust in me that gets me through, but my trust in Him. To God be all glory for every victory, however small or large!Anne Lang Bundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998809463390846323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-58698744098755500942011-02-10T08:55:13.945-05:002011-02-10T08:55:13.945-05:00Anne, sorry I'm so late to comment, but I want...Anne, sorry I'm so late to comment, but I wanted to be sure to let you know that since you took your hiatus from blogging and hinted to what was going on, you've been in my prayers.
