Impossible

“It is kinda fun to do the impossible.” –Walt Disney 

I try never to shy away from doing the 'impossible.'  Ever since college, people have been warning me that the goals I am trying to accomplish are too much for me, or that my tasks are impossible to achieve with all the many obligations that are in my life.  BUT, I remind myself, with God all things are possible.

When I am told  I am aiming for something that is impossible, I take caution, slow down, and check the direction I am sailing towards.  I need to be sure the effort will be worth it.  I ponder my options, I seek other solutions...but, if doing the impossible is the only way to reach my dreams, I shoulder the burden gladly. 

The hardest part about doing the impossible is that it takes an incredible amount work.  On second thought, there is something more difficult than accomplishing the task itself.  Even harder then the  hours of labor is applying self control and persistence to keep at the work. 

Frederick Douglass once said, "If there is no struggle, there is no progress."  If we boldly face the challenges of each day, remembering that God is our strength, we learn to rely more on him.  It is during the times of my life when I am attempting to do the impossible that I feel my need for God most. 

If an impossible dream is realized, God's fingerprints in your life are self evident.  I must never forget to give God the glory for what he has accomplished through me.  When you reach your impossible dream, the two most important things you must do is give credit where it is due, and to enjoy your hard earned success.
