The Impossible is Possible...

The other night my husband and I were driving home from Brisbane quite late and I was thinking about the fact that since I had written my most recent blog and had been feeling quite good about life, that there was a sudden turn around and I felt like I had been in a real battle.... isn't it always the case that when you feel like you are getting on top of things and God has been speaking to you that something else just happens to come up and you feel like you have taken about 100 steps backwards... even further back than where you started!! 

Anyway... as we were driving along I happened to look up at the sky and saw an almost full moon shining down through a scattering of cloud.  I then had this stupidest thought (stupidest...is that even a word!!?)...

I was thinking that what if there was life on the moon...

it is so far away and so big that someone (or something) up there wouldn't even look like a pin prick from way down here on earth. 

Then I thought... Imagine if you had the earth in your hand...

how powerful would you feel?? 

With all that life you would be holding and just one little squeeze and it would be gone!  

You would kind of feel like some sort of super hero...

maybe even Wonder Woman... but then again...

what about God?? 

God holds then entire universe in His hand...

not just our tiny little earth but all of creation in its entirety!! 

Whoah... hang on a minute... let me just wrap my mind around that thought!! 

If God, our all powerful, loving, caring, God is holding the entire universe in His hand then He must be pretty big huh?? 

Yep... massive, huge, incomparible...

our mind just cannot comprehend the bigness of our God.  

If it could then we would never worry or care about anything because we would

KNOW without a shadow of doubt that GOD is in control. 

He is in control of every single situation in our lives and we really have no need to worry at all.  We can just hand it all over to Him and let Him take care of it...

every single situation...

not just the small ones but also the ones that seem insurmountable to us...

those ones that seem completely impossible.

If only we could keep our minds out of the way... how much easier would it be to believe the IMPOSSIBLE! God wants us to overcome in every area of our lives, we just have to trust in Him.  So, next time I start to stumble and worry and stress... I'm going to picture God holding the entire universe in His hand...

our GREAT, AWESOME, AMAZING, HUGE, ALL POWERFUL, LOVING, CARING,

GIVING, INCREDIBLE (there are no words!)

GOD who wants to bless us and help us all to get where He wants us to be...

overcoming, blessed, abundant,

faith-filled God warriors!!

Its whats on the inside that counts...

With a title like that you may have thought I was going to write about being beautiful not only on the outside but also on the inside… however… I have something different in mind.



As I am preparing to go to Colour tomorrow I am of course very conscious of what I will be wearing but not only that I am also very aware of my feelings of both excitement and apprehension at the same time.


Those of you who know me well will know me as someone who almost always looks very cool, calm and collected… even under difficult and challenging circumstances and I have recently been told that I am like the woman on the ‘Navman’… always sounding very cool, calm and collected… and I hope that was supposed to be a compliment!


However, underneath that oh so calm exterior, right now is a sea of knots created by thoughts like…


‘I have to fly alone… and in a prop plane… and its blowing a small gale… and its going to be rainy… and do I need another jumper… what if I forget something’ and the list goes on and on.


And so I ask myself… ‘Where is my faith?!’


I know that this is going to be an awesome and amazing conference and I truly am very excited and looking forward to going, especially considering that I have never been before… but what about these other feelings that keep getting in the way… how do I deal with them? I was thinking only a few months ago that I was really getting over this worrying thing that I have had a problem with for so many years but once again it has reared its ugly head!


And I know all of those Scriptures about ‘Do not worry… ‘Fear not… etc. so no need to remind me!


I know that I will be fine once I get on that plane and I am on my way and I can always buy something if I am cold or if I forget something… so really there is nothing to worry about at all.


My God is with me and that is all I need to know to have a good nights sleep.
