One of the most well-known verses in the Bible is that "nothing is impossible with God." This verse is not just some words to me- they are reality.
In my sophomore year of college, I told a professor of mine about my goal to receive straight A's in all of my courses. When I told him that I was taking 22 credits (an overload of courses), he said to me there was no way I would get straight A's in all my courses, especially his... Well I ended up getting straight A's that semester.
Sometimes, it's not even what others tell us what we can't do... it may even come from within ourselves and our own beliefs.
After falling off of a four story building in college, I thought my dream of running again was out of the question. That is because I had sustained five burst fractures in my spine. For the past few years since that incident, I was too scared to even try to run. I had an extreme fear that my back would break if I tried to run. This past summer, I started exercising and since then, I began running and am currently training for a half marathon. In the past few weeks, I have gone from running 10 minute miles to 6 minute miles. I am looking into running a full marathon next year, which has always been a dream of mine.
I recently asked somebody who had no idea about my spinal fractures about what burst fractures can do. They told me that even one burst fracture can affect body functions or cause a spinal cord injury.
The fact that I can run, or even walk in that matter, is a complete miracle and truly should not be possible.
With God, there truly is nothing that is impossible for us to do, if it is in His will. I pray that no matter what circumstance or situations you are in right now that you realize the power we can find in God. He can help you through anything; He can change any situation around and turn it into something that will change your life.
