“Impossible.
Impossible things are happening every day!” This earworm has been rolling
around in my head all week. It began while babysitting our two year old niece,
Ashlyn. “’Rella, Aunt Chelle, ‘Rella,” she exclaimed while bouncing across the
room to grab the Cinderella dvd. I happily obliged and together we
watched Rogers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella starring Whitney Houston
as the Fairy Godmother. So, not only has this song been stuck in my head but it
is in Houston’s voice. Ok, I admit it, not all earworms are completely
terrible.
In the
Bible, Jesus tells us “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are
possible.” (Matthew 19:26) The beauty of God’s love for us is that He does not
stop with telling us the truth. He provides example after example of situations
that seem impossible, yet are possible through God: Abraham and Sarah become first-time parents
at an advanced age, Daniel is thrown into
a den of hungry lions and walks away without so much as a scratch, Gideon and God’s army of 300 men defeat the
Midianite army of thousands, a young virgin named Mary gives birth to the Son
of God.
The impossible
being possible continues today. Over my next few posts, I will explore some of
today’s impossible happenings both in my life and the lives of others. I would
love to hear your impossible being possible with God stories. You can find me
