Nothing is Impossible

Think about your dreams, goals, aspirations. What did you want to be as a child? A fireman, a doctor, a princess? Now think about why those dream may not have come true as you've grown up. Is it because you decided to be something different? Is it because you were told couldn't become what you dreamed? Why do we change our childhood dreams as we grow? Sometimes it's because we just decide to be something different; other times we are told that what we want isn't possible, but who's to tell us what we can or can't be.

The only person to ever have a say in what we are to become should be God. He is the master of the universe and knows exactly who we are supposed to be. Any time someone tells you you can't be something, why should we listen unless we know they are speaking from God. Everything he designed(which is absolutely everything btw) has a specific plan and purpose. If we are listening to him and follow where he wants us to go then we can be anything and do anything. Nothing is impossible through Him.

I take a step back and look at my life.

To try and see if there is a defined line.

Some point in time where I can see exactly when things changed

It feels like looking back on the life of a stranger

I don't seem to recognize my own past

The faith I have in You makes my heart sing

The doubt I have in me makes me wonder how I've made it

Lord I need You to carry me every step

I want to keep being reminded, in whatever way nesseccary, that You are there to help me and You do carry me through the difficulties in life.

"trust in the Lord with all hear; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do and He will direct your paths." - Prov 3:5-6

Sunlight

Sitting under the warm rays of light, feeling them heat my skin, I start to wonder how things were in times long ago. A time when life was much simpler and people didn't get bogged down or swept away in the busy everyday dealings of life. As I relax I fade into a time that seems like it never existed and bask in the glory of how everything in life is calm, even when there are more things to do in a day than hours to do them in.

I close my eyes and pictures start to fill my mind, women are walking down the street in magnificent dresses and hats, men are standing around talking business and looking very serious, though they aren't at all. Of course, the women know this and enjoy a joke or two among themselves about it. There are horses and buggies all around the town, some loaded for long trips others being unloaded. The items either being sold or taken into hotels for their owners. The locals here have always been open to visitors, welcoming them in as though they were members of the town all along. It's the exact kind of place you would want yourself to get lost in if ever that happened to you.

One of the buggies being unloaded was for a couple that had decided to move to town. It was one of those decisions that aren't planned, they just happen. So they packed up and moved, without having any place of their own to live before they got there. Untill they could find a place they would be staying in the towns hotel.

Cancer

Over the past couple months my Papa(mom's dad) has been diagnosed with liver cancer, had surgery to remove the tumor, put through multiple tests and diagnosed with lung cancer.

He does not drink or smoke, so these are not catalysts for his cancer, they don't have answers to why he has cancer and is still being subjected to more testing. Just last week he had yet another CT scan to check for more spots on his lungs(there are two, that I know of) currently.

I don't know who reads this, but I ask that any of you that do, please pray for him and the rest of my family.

Hebrews 11

Hebrews 11:
1-2: "What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see. God gave His approval to people in days of old because of their faith."

There was a bible study DVD series I went through at a time call Truth Project, it asked the very same question as the beginning of verse one. Faith is not something we always think about. It's as everyday as the sunrise or routine as a working car. Things like these we never wonder if they will be there the next time it's expected. We won't ever wonder if a car is going to crank when we turn the key if we have kept it maintained properly.
The same idea holds true for our faith in God. With proper, daily maintenance through prayer and reading the bible our faith in God will become just as basic to our lives as the working car, or the sunrise. It's just something we will have and automatically rely on when we need help.
By having faith in God we are trusting Him to provide for us everything we will need. Even when we can't see His provision.

So we went over the first six verses of this chapter last night in the bible study and it was so intriguing to read and hear what everyone there had to say. This was just a little of what i got from the verses and from what everyone said.
