Go Ahead. Tell Me It's Impossible

Mostly? I like it when people tell me a certain thing just cannot be done. That what I'm hoping to do is Impossible.

Why? Because it gets my blood bubbling. Suddenly I feel energized, able to conquer all. Tell me life is just oh-hum-sad-sickly-tiresome for everyone and in my head this will play: "Impossible? Well, I'll show you!"

Heh. (I'll bet you didn't figure me for that kind of person, did you?)

Always, I've been like that. Mostly because since I was a tiny girl, I've believed God and not just in Him either, but believed what He said in the Bible. 

That He could do anything, always provides what we need, nothing is too hard for Him, including healing people. I believed that as a child, even while growing-up in churches which, much of the time, taught otherwise.

A cute example? I still recall, at 6-years-old, arriving home from church and standing beside my mom while she fumbled in her purse for her key to unlock the front door. She was very pregnant at the moment with my little brother and for the first time I wondered, "How did the baby get inside her in the first place?" And although my family had only recently begun attending church, immediately I thought, "Oh well, God understands all that. Maybe He's the one who places babies inside of mothers."

That personal example of childlike trust still makes me smile today. It still teaches me something, also.

It's good to outgrow some things, and trust me, I've outgrown a whole lot. But this believing God can do what He wants to do--and if He wants to help me, He will--well, I'm not planning on ever outgrowing that. Not ever.
