All things possible



I was driving home tonight and this song came on. Let me just say... I had church!!! I belong to the one who is making all this possible in my life!!!

Over the last 6 years, God has made so much possible in my life!

God brought me through college! What a journey that was! From friends who came and went, took advantage, and changed my life. From family issues. Loosing my great grandmother. Working full time, and  struggling through nursing school. December 2011... I crossed the final hurdle when I walked across that stage!

Then NCLEX.... whew me! What a doozie! All the hard work for 5 years boiled down to one exam! Failure the first time was crushing! But God reminded me that he was in control of my destiny and that he didnt bring me this far to leave me stranded now! He brought this amazing tutor into my life who helped me overcome my fear of the exam and then walked with me  to the testing center and sat down right beside me and guided me... and I PASSED!!! I Became an RN!!! A dream come true!

In February 2012....He answered a prayer that I had prayed, begged, and pleaded with him for. He provided the man of my dreams down on one knee with a little box with a gorgeous ring and a promise of a future! I had lost all hope that this would ever happen... found myself in my car several times sobbing, asking God where he was... and simply beginning to doubt if he really could even answer my prayers. BOY WAY I WRONG!!! God was preparing me for a bigger picture! A picture of perfect love! No... were not perfect, but the love between us is God given and therefore perfect. God allowed me to see that in the wait... I appreciate this gold ring on my hand more than I ever would have had he answered just when I first asked. ALSO... my depended and faith in God was renewed on a deeper level!

When it came about that we needed to find a house ASAP... I was at my wits end! All I could think about was, "IM GONNA BE HOMELESS!!!" My faith went out the window with the frantic fear! But my AMAZING husband to be never lost his head. He kept telling me that God was gonna take care of us. And sure enough a house came along that is perfect for us! But then another road block..... loan qualifying and down payment! AGGGHHH this is the most frustrating process. Everywhere we were going was a dead end... but THEN GOD CAME BY!!! He made is possible and is still working his hands in this process. He brought us an amazing person to buy the house from and a loan officer who seems to be just a God send!!! WHAT AN AMAZING GOD!!!

Today, I get the news no one wants to hear... a loved one was in route to the ER... turns out it was minor and not life threatening... but every part of me panicked till I knew he was ok! God made it all possible! He allowed me to be there and protected James' foot from being broken!

I sit and think about all the people I know that are struggling and I think.... I am blessed! Tomorrow it could be me in the valley. I still have to look past the imperfections and see the blessings and what God has made possible!!!

He makes all things possible and he is My FATHER!
