First I want to say that I have never felt more weak in my own strength and yet strong in the strength of Jesus. He was my constant companion and my rock that did not waver even when I was a wilted reed. Even during the most overwhelming moments of this experience I came to the firm conviction that I would rather go through this challenge with Jesus than to not have the challenge without Jesus. He is the one thing that I cannot and will not live without. Come what may.
