Doing the Impossible

As I look forward in my life over the next year, there are several things ahead that, from this vantage point any way, seem impossible.  Most of these things revolve around the world of finances.  While we are making improvements on our attempt to get out of debt, as we look down the road we can see that really making it to our goal seems like something that we cannot accomplish.  The bills keep coming, often out of nowhere, and just when we feel like we’re getting ahead, something new comes in to take all our money away.

Now, I know I shouldn’t be complaining about money.  We make good money, and we have been blessed.  I’m not complaining about the money we make, I’m simply saying that it was a whole lot easier to get into debt than it is to get out of it. 

The upside to this is that God loves to do the impossible.  He loves those moments where if He doesn’t come through than we are through.  He uses these times to deepen our faith.  I’m beginning to see that I don’t ever want to be in a place where I have all the financial resources I need to do whatever I want.  If that became the case, where would my faith be?  It would be in me and my own ability to provide.  I want my faith to be in God, and His ability to do above and beyond anything that I can even imagine, not in the paltry dreams I may have for myself.  Because, after all, it’s kind of fun to do the impossible.
