And this is just an idea. I'm just speaking out loud. I don't know what I'm doing yet. I'm still learning. Stay tuned!

Impossible?
Over the past couple of weeks, I've been praying for things I thought were "impossible," but after a discussion last night, I've realized I didn't have any real impossible things. Sure, some of the things seemed impossible to me at the time I wrote them down, but nothing IMPOSSIBLE. My buddy Eric used a great example that rocked me... "What about praying that I can meet a random person and lead them to Christ?" Hmmm... I then remembered what I had on my list of impossibles.... Almost every single one was about me or for me. Wow. Can I get any more selfish? Not one thing about anybody else. Wake up call. So now i'm rethinking my impossible list. So my question to you... What does your list look like? Selfish or self-less? I know what mine was. If you can, please pray that God will speak to me about so-called "impossible" things. And this goes both ways... anything you want me to pray for you about? If it's private, you can send me an email if you want... gerenwoodbridge@yahoo.com

Geren -
ReplyDeleteThe other day I was listening to the radio here in Kenya. They were interviewing an old man, and he was talking about the severe drought we've been having. He said that the reason for the drought was that too many Kenyans had abandoned sacrifices to the ancestors. Instead, they've gone after Christianity. These Christians pray for rain, he said, and no rain comes. So, his solution was to chuck this Christianity stuff and go back to the old ways.
Right now, we're rationing water. And yes, we're asking the Lord for rain. Admittedly, I've been saying: "God, don't you hear the mockery?" So right now, rain is looking like my "impossible" thing.
Keep up the good work, Geren, on your blog.

Thanks for your comment Greg! You will definitely be in my prayers, not only for the rain, but for the continued faith of all of the Christians. We had a speaker tonight talk about discouragement, so I pray that you will not be discouraged, but rather diligent in prayer and trust that God will provide.
