Making the Impossible....Possible

I had a pretty sweet conversation with two of my best friends last week. The three of us are in seasons of major change in our lives. We were sharing with each other how God can turn an impossible situation into a possible opportunity.

When I first made the step to knock on the door God had put in front of me to go to Africa, I couldn't see how it was going to work. I still have some school debt, lots of responsibilities here that I have had to rethink, a car to get rid of, a job that I love to leave behind, a church that has become my home that I have to leave, solid and deep relationships that won't be in my everyday life anymore...and the list goes on. I couldn't see how God was going to work all of that out, plus work out my finances to be able to get me to Africa. In my eyes, it was impossible. Even as I write this, I am still in awe of the awesome things He has done to start fitting all the pieces of the puzzle together.

This made me think of the story in Luke 18 after the parable of the rich ruler when the people who heard Jesus speak to the rich ruler asked how anyone can be saved. Jesus then told them in verse 27 that what is impossible with men is possible with God. These things may seem like an impossibility to me. Leaving all I know and everyone I love to follow the call God has put on my life, but because I have heard God's voice and obeyed His command to go, He is letting everything fall into place for me.

I realized during this conversation with my friends that in a month's time, I will solely be financially supported by God's voice in people's lives. The sacrifice you are making to obey God's voice is what I will be living off of. That is awesome and scary and exciting all at the same time. It is building my faith, giving me strength, and making me so thankful. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for who each of you are to me and for the sacrifice you are making to support me. Sometimes it may look impossible, but know that with God, all things are possible. Keep hearing and obeying God and all the pieces will fall into place.
