Possibilities!

This Thanksgiving has been a time of reflection and refocus. Bryan, myself and the boys went to Emerald Isle for Thanksgiving. It was great to be on the beach. I always feel like I hear something from the Lord when I gaze into the sky and look at the waves. I spent a lot of time at the beach after Mer died and I find great comfort there, especially in Emerald Isle. It’s such a blessing that I married someone from there—I get to go anytime I want!

I’ve struggled a bit with being thankful this holiday. I can get really distracted and discouraged by hardship. But, God gave me such a wonderful reminder on my walk on the beach—God delights in impossibilities.

I have looked at my life and many of my trials and remember thinking:

·         Living without Meredith—impossible

·         Feeling joy again—impossible

·         Loving again—impossible

·         Remarriage—impossible

·         Writing a book—impossible

·         Another baby—impossible

·         Moving on from the past—impossible

I was right, none of things were possible through my own plans and efforts. All these things had to be given to the Lord so He could make them all possible.  Mark 10:27 says, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.” So when I think about what I am thankful for in 2012, it is that walking with God is always an adventure because nothing is too difficult for Him.
