Impossible

Thanks Charlotte and Ginger for always being here every week and hosting these great Spiritual Sundays

"It always seems impossible until its done." Nelson Mandela 

Freedom stories....people doing the impossible....overcoming what others say can't be done - those are the stories that inspire.....and push me to move forward....past my fears...in the direction my heart pulls. 

Stories of the impossible.....people taking a risk....doing the very thing others insist is not possible.... They close their ears to doubt and even reason....they focus on their goal....their dream....their hope.....and they pave the way for others to do the same...the impossible....the unheard of....They prove everything - anything is possible.....

Like Martin Luther King, Jr. who refused to back down or use aggression to win his dream of equality for all people and 22 yr. old Stacy Spotz who did what so many others older than her couldn't do....spending 70 days and nights alone on a boat raising money for a cause she believed in. And others who hold onto God's promises....determined not to let go of their dream...refusing to be moved by a seemingly impossible situation. Against all odds...believing for that thing they want so badly....knowing some way....somehow...it will be achieved...

I was told over and over.....I could have a marginal life with professional intervention....I beat the odds...I did it with God's help....I know now what others say is impossible...is always possible. 

To dream the impossible dream -This is my quest -to follow that star -no matter how hopeless...

There's A Song

Thanks Charlotte and Ginger for hosting Spiritual Sundays. To join in post and add your name at Spiritual Sunday

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined." Henry David Thoreau.

When He touched me in that hospital room...
When He broke the hold of those things that held onto me and wouldn't let go..
When He broke the chains....and freed me...changed my life....and did what nothing else could...
When He reached so far down to pull me out of all that darkness....Something changed. I changed. 

My focus....my desires...I started to dream....something I had never done. 
Before it was just about survival...Now - He gave me a song...and with that song....dreams...

No matter what happens....good or bad...my heart dreams...to give back...to shine His love....to make a difference...just like He did for me. 

I don't dream of taking trips to exotic places...or buying pretty things to fill up our home.....or living in a bigger or better place. I dream of making a difference....leaving a legacy that shows He's real.....

There's a song in my heart..His song....whispering softly...strong and reassuring that He's always there...in my corner...running with me...His voice giving me hope...giving me dreams..... 

There's a song that's inside of my soul...
