Yesterday I stumbled across a Facebook post that said "the task ahead of you is never as great as the Power behind you" and I love it, and God's sense of timing.
This week I had a meeting with my graduate advisor and he laid out what I needed to do to achieve my dreams. It is "Be Perfect" and if that does not happen, have a back up plan. How do you have a backup plan for your dreams? How do you have a perfect graduate school GPA? Undeniably being perfect is a huge task.
As I offered a prayer about this, and then googled it to make it a post myself, I came across multiple verses to describe this Ralph Waldo Emerson quote. The best one: "...if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, nothing will be impossible for you (Matthew 17:20)". For me "nothing" could be two things, the dream, or making the backup plan. Relying on God to be the Force and Power within me to accomplish these tasks, is my own personal challenge and commitment this week. How will you rely on Him?
My prayer is that you find each post encouraging and know that
this is not about me. It's about History.

New Adventures
A little over a month ago I started out on a new adventure.
A month ago, I was in a place of comfort, familiarity, fullfilling but not satisfying. God moved me into something new.
New is scary, overwelming and faith building.
With God's help, I have decided to get my master's degree in biology. Those first two weeks were so overwelming I wanted to quit, more than I have ever wanted to quit before. My past has shown that God made me stubborn, I am not a quitter. I went to Him with my struggles and He has eased the fear. Don't get me wrong the fear is still there and it creeps up on me when I find out about one more thing that I will have to worry about. However, I am choosing to rely on God and to take each day as it comes, only worring about today.
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34
My prayer is that you find each post encouraging and know that this is not about me. It's about History.
