The God of Possibilities

-

My sewing machine was humming merrily along yesterday afternoon.  My mind just as rapidly mulled over different thoughts, ideas and possibilities that are looming in the future.  As my thoughts and ideas jumped from one thing to the next, I realized what a wonderful God I serve.

He is a God who delights in achieving the impossible.  He loves taking circumstances that seem overwhelming and daunting and showing us how He works.  He is the God of possibility. 

The God of possibility causes endless winter to become summer in time.




The God of possibility allows the sun to rise and set each day.


The God of possibilties takes a child with multiple disabilites and shapes him into a fine young man who is achieving wonderful things with his life.


The God of possibility took an unhappy girl and is helping turn that frown into a smile.


The God of possibility is taking a boy with severe anxieties and turning him into a young man who is developing confidence and senses God's call on his life.



The God of possibility allows a church of strangers become friends in a relatively short time.


The God of possibility is healing heartache that I never thought would heal.  He is mending the broken pieces of my life.  He is changing me from the inside out.

What a wonderful God we have!  He is the God who takes the impossible and turns it around.  That makes this a Monday with a multitude of possbilities!

This week I'm thankful for blessings #1946-1960.

Choosing Not to Kick the Cat

The choices we make can either be good or bad. So many don't realize that even our attitudes and feelings are a choice. We have a choice each day to make that day one in which we will react to our circumstances or choose not to react. I can choose to let someone else's bad day ruin mine, or I can choose to not take on someone else's attitude. When Dan and I were first married we worked for a sales organization. I still remember listening to a motivational speaker, Zig Ziglar who was talking about this topic. He gave the scenario of a man being a work and having a boss that was berating him all day long. The man then came home and snapped at his wife. His wife, in turn, yelled at their son for a small infraction because she was upset. The son was now hurt by his mom and pushed his little sister. She, being the youngest, turns around and kicks the cat! Zig talked about making a different choice by not allowing others bad behaviors and moods cause you to respond in the

Oh What to Do; I'm Sixty-Two!

Today is my sixty-second birthday and it's hard to believe I've achieved that....um....seasoned age! My first thought this morning was one of not being sure that I like it. However,  as I thought I about it, I decided to take joy in the fact that I've reached an older age. Because age comes with benefits. Benefit #1 - I'm a bit wiser.   When I look back at some of the decisions I made when I was younger, I cringe. With age has come the ability to slow down and think things through before I make major upheavals in my life. I've also discovered that getting worked up about certain things is just an absolute waste of emotional energy. Benefit #2 - I'm enjoying my life.   As I've aged I've learned all kinds of skills and hobbies and can honestly say that I'm never, ever bored. I love all the different things I'm able to do and it's fun! Benefit #3 - I've learned to appreciate my relationships. With age I've learned to work on developing a

Eating to Live

  Despite the unexpected busyness and interruptions, I have been plugging away at my weight loss as well as writing the plant-based, whole food cookbook. Recipe testing fell by the wayside the past two weeks, but I've still gotten a good chunk of the book done. I also got on the scale this morning for another one pound loss which makes a total of 61 lbs. since I started this journey back in July. It's second nature at this point and I have so much more energy and feel healthy. The only negative is that because I've lost so much weight I'm seeing some sagging, crepe-papery skin happening. Yuck. Some of that is age and I need to figure out some toning exercises. It's definitely a life-style change, but a positive one which I'm so thankful I started on. The pictures above are a small selection of meals I've eaten the past two months and many of those will be included in the book.  This will be a printable e-book as I find that will be the easiest and most cost
