God Will Do The Impossible

God Will Do The Impossible

Wow. We are in the last month of the year. It seems like this year has gone by so quickly. And I don’t think it’s only me, but doesn’t it seem like the older you get the faster time is going?

That’s why it’s so important that we stop putting things off. We have to stop planning and start doing. I say that probably just for me, because I am a planner. The problem is that I usually end up planning my plan to death. I literally kill it before it can even get started. 

I think I have let fear lead way too long. The crazy thing is that it doesn’t feel like fear. I have even given it a name…procrastination. For some reason, that sounds better than fear to me. Procrastination sounds like eventually I will get around to it. Fear says that it most likely will never happen. And because I can’t bear to think that, I let myself believe that God has simply not gotten around to opening the right doors for me.

Ok, so now I’m blaming it on God…sigh. It’s a vicious circle. 

But, I’m feeling like this new year is going to bring new opportunities for me. God has already given me everything I need, and He’s even given me the people I need to help set things in motion. I know that God can make what looks impossible possible. All I have to do is let go, and take that first step. He has even given me scripture to back it up.

Isaiah 43:19 says, “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.”

I pray that if you are like me, and haven’t done the thing that God has been laying on your heart, and put in your hands to do; that you will join me in this new year and let 2024 be the year that God does the impossible for you.

Until next time…

Be blessed

I am determined to find out why I am living a life that vacillates between being motionless and moving at the speed of light. 

For instance, I will find myself trying to finish projects while sitting in front of the television. That never works for me, but I find myself doing it a lot. I am also starting to be aware of the things I say, and think. For instance, I have been claiming “my procrastination.” I say it as if it is a part of me…like I don’t have a choice. Realizing that was a huge breakthrough for me. I had been speaking that over myself, and wondering why I had been so stuck in my life. I finally realized that if I wanted to live a life that is prosperous and fruitful, then I would have to first renew my thinking…and that’s where the book of Romans comes in.

In Romans 12:1-2 it says, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” (KJV).

That was such a revelation to me. I have read that many times, but for some reason, I know that now I am ready to let go of the kind of thinking that looks for excuses. I am not at the mercy of my circumstances. I am, we are, empowered through the spirit of God that lives inside of us to do great things. I love how God’s word reaches out to us. How it speaks to us and gives us exactly what we need at the exact moment we need it.

Our God is bigger than any situation or circumstance…even procrastination. But even though I know that. Every now and then, I just need a little reminder.

Until next time…

Be blessed!

Ok, so we have had to learn to do things differently these days. One of the things that has changed is the way we communicate with one another. Online meetings, hook-ups, conferences, family get-togethers, are all the newest way to stay in touch. But for the most part we are still spending a lot more time alone. Thinking about that made me realize that this is the perfect time to learn some new things. A time for all of us to take advantage of the opportunity to socialize with people we have never even met, or may never meet in person, and yet now, have so much in common with.

I have to admit, it is an exciting time. Maybe because with all of the things going on in the world I am finding that I can no longer afford to be a procrastinator (I know I’m not the only one). Things we used to put off for another day, really have a different meaning right now. I mean, I always knew that tomorrow was not promised, but that hits differently today. One of the problems for me has always been that I think on things way too long. I usually think about it until it gets so big that I just give up, and basically talk myself out of it. I’m really kind of tired of doing that though. 

I think for the next few weeks, I’m going to do something every day that gets me closer to the purpose God has for me. I know there are things God is calling me to, but I have not been able to get past my own thinking. The end of the year is the perfect time to re-evaluate, strategize, and plan for the new year. Better is coming.

So, I am challenging you to join me, and step out on faith. Whatever that thing is that God has placed way down deep inside of you…that thing you are afraid to even tell anyone about–do it. Don’t hold back any longer. It’s time. God is calling you to take that first step…

Will you?

Until next time…

Be blessed!
