When It's Impossible

Some things, despite our best efforts are seemingly impossible. For example, This week I have three major papers due. Each of them is worth 40% of my class grade and they are all required to be at least 15 pages in length. The problem is I don't have enough time to write all of them before their due dates. As the inevitability of the situation peaked today, I burst. All of the stress and emotions that have built themselves up the past three days exploded in one moment of raw realization, "I can't do it". No matter how hard I try or how long I work this weekend I will not possibly be able to get all of this work completed in time. Thanks to a good friend, wise words, and hopefully graceful professors, all will turn out well. Today my friend reminded me that God doesn't give us more than we can handle. He brought me here to grad school for a reason and I don't think he plans for me to fail at it. While I may not hand in all of my assignments in time, I will complete this program. Though I must admit that in my darkest moment today I wanted to give up. I wanted to be done working on this hard paper, I wanted out of my difficult predicament. It was at that moment that God sent me a friend. He reminded me that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. That NOTHING is impossible with God.

I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles.- Phil. 4:12-14


When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Peter answered him, “We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?” - Matt. 19:25-27

The Wetherills Say I Do | Guest Post

Founders Note: Today on the blog we have one of our August sponsors Madison of The Wetherills Say I Do . She is also one of my blogging friends, I have enjoyed working with her this month and am excited to continue in the future, she is a sweet girl with a big heart for others and Jesus! Today She is sharing her heart on this months theme: Beauty in the Brokenness. So be sure to check out her blog at the links below! If you've ever heard a group of people share their testimonies, a lot of them have a common thread: brokenness. A lot of now believers had to come to a very low point in their lives before they had their breaking moment of calling out to Jesus. Have you ever wondered why that is? Why is it that so many of us have to hit rock bottom before we'll realize our infinite need for a Savior? I don't know the answer to that question, but I do know that in my darkest moments, I've seen the Lord hand out grace and turn brokenness into beauty. We all tend t...

Finding Comfort in the "Waiting Room"

Founders Note: Today's post is written by our new friend Brooke. Her blog is called "Living as a Single Gal". (you can find the link below) We've just discovered Brooke's blog and we look forward to unwrapping more of the great wisdom she has to share. Without further ado, here is her post... Imagine, if you will, that you are in a waiting room. The room is crowded; people standing, people on chairs, people sitting on the floor; this room is totally packed full. And all of these people are waiting. Waiting for what you may ask? That’s simple; love. You are standing in a corner with some of your girlfriends having some laughs. Then one of them gets called out of the room. Then another. Then another; another one bites the dust. One by one all of your single girlfriends are leaving the waiting room and finding true love. Not only are your friends leaving you, but the rest room seems to empty out significantly. And then there’s you. --...
