God can move you to do the impossible.

In life we will be presented with obstacles that we feel we cant get over or get through but the Lord said with him all things are possible. When we begin to focus on exactly that and what God is able to do we will be amazed at how he can turn those impossibilities and into possibilities. God can transform you into the person you never thought you could see yourself becoming. Many love taking credit for situations and things but the truth is had it not been for God you would not be able to do much of anything let alone have what you have. This is why we must remain humble and grateful to God for every blessing. I am a witness to the fact that God has done some transforming in my life. I dont profess to be perfect other than in Christ Jesus but I can give testimony that he has brought about changes in me. I look at things so differently than I use to. I handle situations in a manner unlike I once did. Some may say I over think some situations before diving in head first but isnt that what God says we should do. We are to be discerning and to test spirits first. If it feels wrong then more than likely it is. A sure fire way in handling a situation is to go to the Word. What does God say? Is your approach in rectifying things in line with the word or are you handling it your way? We should not let our thoughts or the world's views the matter mandate how we should handle a situation. God has a plan and life will present tests just to see how you handle them. Will you trust God or are you own logic?

I remember when my Dad passed a week before Christmas. It was one of the hardest things I ever had to rap myself around, figure out how to go forward, and what to do next. I knew it wasn't going to be easy but I knew with God all things were possible. He can help you get through the inconceivable. God is who keeps me going and knowing what his word says. My daddy was a tough cookie but that was because he loved me and I loved him more. I dont believe in my heart that he was without knowing that God was real and Jesus provided help. I remember giving him a cross and telling him that things would not always be this way and God was going to make it better. I was bold enough to say this because of God. Daddy kept that cross with him because when he would switch hospitals or go to rehab that cross would always be on the table beside his bed, thank you Jesus. The last time I spent with my father at my parents home he had it on his bedside table. I will never forget two things; when he called on Jesus at Temple Hospital and when he picked it up and layed it across his lap and looked at it that final day I spent with him at the home he shared with my mom for over 4 decades. I sensed things would be taking a turn when I saw this but I continued to trust God. I say all this to get to this final point about impossibilities turning into possibilities.

It was the day of my Dad's homegoing service which was two days after Christmas. As I sat by my mom's side listening to the service there was a call for persons to come to the stage to share something about my dad. I immediately knew I wanted to, truth be told the thought didnt just pop in my head right then and there. Days leading up to the 27th of December I wondered if I could ever get the nerve to speak. I often thought it might not be a good idea because I am going to be to emotional and embarrass myself on stage in a blob of tears but when she called for volunteers I said there is no way I cannot go up. I know the scripture says "with God all things are possible" so I kept that at the forefront of my mind and reached over and asked my youngest daughter if she would walk up with me and she did. I remember being up there and keeping my eyes and mind focused on God and I spoke. At first I kept my head down and off the crowd because I didnt think I could lift it but then the more I spoke the more confidence God gave me and I remember speaking from his word, about my Dad, and then to my mother and at that point my head was completely upright looking across the crowd. As I left the stage I gave God the glory for what he had done for me. I would not have been able to do it apart from him. I say all this to say trust God for the impossible then give him the glory for turning your impossibilities into possibilities.
