sometimes i feel like superwoman - with super human strength and super human thoughts and super human emotions. words glide from my lips, and i sleep soundly at night.
other times, like tonight - i can practically taste my humanity.
i dont know if i'm strong enough to go into social work anymore. every time i leave my child welfare class my stomach has knots and i end up crying at some point. and being surrounded by people dying doesnt help much either.
it slightly frustrates me at time - i've got a level head, i am passionate, and i am extremely conscious of social interactions and others feelings - so why the heck do i feel my strength draining from my soul?
the good news is, i know where my strength comes from. and i have been challenged these last three weeks to really get deep into the word - and really define who God is. i know my lack of strength is only temporary....

And maybe in the end, you'll be better at your job for it. Firstly, because you are having to depend on God for that strength and He will provide it and He will get the glory for the work that you do. Secondly, because you are a compassionate person and so often people lose their compassion and stop caring in those types of jobs. I think that you will look back at this and remember how to have compassion if you ever feel a little hard.
