For a while I have been asking myself, ‘what should I blog about?’. I have beaten myself up endlessly trying to find a perfect answer to this simple, yet challenging question. After many days of contemplating various thoughts, I came up with this: I believe the answer to be simple, the answer is in fact ‘anything‘. So, here is to my ‘anything‘.
Anything, is what rocks do NOT dream about. Anything, can be shaped, turned, twisted, and tweaked to something beautiful. Anything, any problem I create is not a problem nor is it unfixable. I have created many walls which I tell myself I must pass, when in fact this wall is already crossed if I am aware I am the one who built it. As I come closer to this race I realize I have built walls that stand in my way. They stand tall to intimidate the weaker parts of my being. These walls are made with a foundation that appears to be unbreakable, but through the power of words that are of life and of truth they are weaker than a new born baby. They plant themselves in front of me staring at my doubts and picking at my insecurities. They tell me loudly things like; “you can’t raise the money!”, “you aren’t made for something like this”, “you don’t deserve an opportunity this extraordinary!”. BUT… Those walls are nothing more than lies. God is teaching me a few things about the word ‘anything‘. He is ministering to my spirit and teaching me that when he says I can do anything, he doesn’t mean some things, easy things, or things I think I am capable of doing. In Philippians 4:13 Paul says, ” I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me.” Or Paul is essentially saying I can do ‘anything‘. Now, don’t get me wrong, when Paul says this he does not mean that if he were to jump off a 25 floor building and believed God would give him wings, he would fly. What Paul means is this: You can do all THESE things in Christ who strengthens you, who is the strength within you. These things, more specifically mean the opposition in which you are currently faced with. So, what the scripture tells me is that I don’t have limits that confine me, define me, or stop me. I declare these truths through the power of the creator of the universe. I can do anything.
God has called beyond my comfort zone into a realm that is not familiar. He has not promised me it will be easy but he has promised it to be possible. In this journey I feel like I am walking in a dark hallway with a small light at the end of it. When I break contact with the small shimmering light at the end of the hallway, I fall. But, when I walk in total darkness and remember his promise to me I walk steadily, balanced to perfection and without hesitation. I do not stumble, I surely do not fall and I do this because God has told me; God is teaching me I can do anything.
