I know, shocking right? I am not the “warrior princess of the Amazons” who fights crime and bad guys all while wearing tight clothing and knee high red boots all with perfect hair. If this is a surprise or a shock to anyone, I sincerely apologize for being such a convincing actress but my secret is out. (My secret of also being a low-key superhero fanatic is also out but I think I’ll survive). Now I am not saying I want the lifestyle of a superhero, but the fearlessness of one in absolutely incredible.
I am by no means a “know-it-all” but I think I have all the answers. I think I can handle any situation that gets thrown my way by myself. I can handle myself. I can do it. Newsflash to me (and anyone who can relate to this); we cannot do it alone because, simply put, we were not meant to. We have all heard the cliché and overused saying “God does not give you more than you can handle” and I do not like that. I believe that God absolutely give us more than we can handle. Because if we are “overwhelmed” and “over our heads” THAT is the point where we call out to the one who is never defeated.
God is so smart y’all. He uses our greatest weaknesses and uses it as a great strength. One of my greatest weaknesses is my desire not never ask for help. I am the stubborn toddler who refuses to accept help in dressing herself and ends up wearing a turtle-neck in the middle of summer with a (non-matching) polka dot floor length skirt and rain boots. Almost everyday I look at God and say “No. Me do it” and like the great father He is, he lets me. He not only lets me try and win, He picks me up when I inevitably fall, He stands me back up, and puts me back on the right path.
Wonder Woman doesn’t fall. She doesn’t need the help. She does not need God. So there is no way, I can be Wonder Woman. I need God. I need His love and His grace and His never-ending protection. And I am okay with that. The world already has a Wonder Woman and they are quite happy with her. The world only has one me, and I believe that God is quite happy with me, especially when I ask for His help.
Much Love,
Delaney
