A Luxurious List of Impossibilities

1 Comment

Today, as we celebrated the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we all reflected on how his desire for change affected our lives today.  Dr. King stood as a phenomenal figure during the Civil Rights Movement, standing for peace and justice.  During those devastating years of the Civil Rights Movement, many believed that Dr. King’s hopeful stance on change for America was nearly impossible.  But, was his dream impossible? No, not at all.  Not with God on his side.  And not with God on our side today.

Darlings, I tell you, we serve a mighty mighty God, as Dr. King would say. A God of possibilities and impossibilities.  He can make your IMPOSSIBLE, POSSIBLE.  Believe that.  I’m a woman of faith and I deeply believe that God can take nothing and turn it into something!  Let us not let our circumstances blind our limitless amount of possibilities as Dr. King didn’t let the government, KKK’s, or any other force of evil blind his vision.  I know for what I want in my future it seems impossible, but God works in mysterious and miraculous ways, I tell you.  Let it be so.

So today, I challenge you to believe that change is possible, as Dr. King did.

I challenge you to stop limiting yourself, as Dr. King did.

I challenge you to believe in yourself, as Dr. King did.

I challenge you to step out on faith in your dreams, as Dr. King did.

I challenge you to overcome your circumstances and move your mountains, as Dr. King did.

I challenge you to believe in the impossible, as Dr. King did.

If I Knew the Answers, It Would Be a Luxury

Ahhhhhhhhhh. A headache.

Life.

Some call it growing pains.  I call it a jungle of annoyance.

My world is still a mess, but I do see the light at the end of this tunnel: yes, my deliverance is upon me. 2012, so far, has been an abundance of blessings, I just had to open my eyes to see the flowers of blessings that blossomed before me.  So easily do we walk through our gardens of life trampling over the small flowers while searching for something much greater, much larger when in actuality, those small delicate flowers were the blessings.  If only we had just walked gracefully through our gardens to stop and notice the flowers of blessings before us.

Our race for quantity hinders our blessings of quality.

But, how many of us knew that? And be honest with yourself darling.  I didn’t always and I still have to remind myself that (as soon as I remember to remind myself to remind myself of that…right).

It gets frustrating at times because I just simply want the answers.  Why didn’t I know that that flower was my blessing?  Why didn’t God send me an email to let me know? Or at least a text?  I’m tired; I don’t feel like trying to figure it out, just give me the answers. Do you ever feel like that? Unfortunately, life fails to hand me and you the answers. Sigh.

I guess, we have to keep trying to figure it all out.

But, wouldn’t it be nice to know the answers?
