Can I learn the majority of conversational Toposa in two years?
Can I homeschool one or two boys from a curriculum I have never seen before?
Can I cook from scratch?
Can I handle money in a foreign country?
Can I share my faith daily?
Can I love when it's hard?
Can I think about others before myself?
Can I drive a standard, stick-shift car on dirt roads?
Can I handle going to the bathroom at night when there might be snakes out there?
Can I trust God when my plans fall apart?
Can I? Can I? Can I?
NO. But God can.
This week He spoke this to my heart:
"I AM the vine, you are the branches. If a man remains in me, and I in him, then he will bear much fruit; apart from Me, you can do nothing." John 15:5Apart from Him, that means me, Alyssa by myself, can do nothing.
Alone-->nothing.
But with Him, abiding in Him, drinking from the vine daily, constantly seeking after Him and His heart...everything is possible. That's right. With God, ALL things are possible. Every single thing.
Lyssa, just reading this makes me want to cry. Just this morning during my quite time I was reading about how God is the vine and we are the branches and I was actually thinking about you. The fact that you posted this is amazing! Just remember I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me - Philippians 4:13 It is so cool at the APAC website apacvolleyballclub.com that verse is written on the page and gives me such comfort every time I pull it up!
