just when i thought it was impossible...

well, God is putting reaccuring themes in my life right now...one of them is to continue to realize that He is with my ALWAYS and that i need to depend on him for every single detail of my life...and the other is to completely trust him with everything. i know these are themes because conversations with friends continue to be focused around these points, and little lessons about these things are being revealed to me.

situation: yesterday, i went to a teacher store to start stocking up and getting ideas for my classroom this year...i knew i didnt really have that much money to spend, but these are things i need to have...i walked out knowing that i could spend the rest of the money in my bank account on school supplies and was wondering how i was gonna do it. when i came home, i saw a letter addressed to me from a church....inside was a check written out to me, for enough money to fund my school supplies this year!!!

situation: i have had the goal this summer to complete a triathlon...the hardest part for me was going to be the swim...i have never swam as a work out or anything...my best stroke was the doggy paddle!! but, i was determined..and practiced a lot...at first, i felt like a 3 year old learning to swim. it is difficult to get the breathing and stroke down....but now, the practicing and perserverance has paid off! God has given me the energy to keep at it, and now, i can almost swim 1/2 a mile without doing any other stroke but freestyle!! all for His glory! nothing is impossible!

there are many other situations, but these stick out in my mind this morning. have a great day! what themes are God trying to put in your life...are you listening?
