Strength

How strong are you? I heard a story about one woman that is possibly the strongest person I have ever heard of. A coworker of mine is from a communist ruled country near Thailand. When she was 11 her family made the choice to escape. Her father got out first and her mother was in charge of taking 4 girls ages 2-11 out of the country. They had to travel at night and cross the Bangkok River in a leaking boat. They were imprisoned in Thailand, but eventually met up with her father in a refugee camp and later traveled to the US. What would you have done if you were faced with the same situation? I would like to think I could do it, but I don’t like having to take both of my kids to Kroger much less across a dangerous river! I wanted to tell everyone this story to encourage you to continue being strong no matter what you are going through. Seek out others that have been through it and most of all look to Christ and the Bible. If you ask God to help you and give you answers to questions you have, He will. Our problems may seem like mountains to us, but are no more than grains of sand to our Almighty God!
Love,
Carrie
