Walking on Water

My good friend Bree mailed me a package a few weeks ago.  She knows what a difficult time I have been going through and decided to give me some encouragement.  Inside the package was a letter and a talk on cd called "Walking on Water, When the Lord Asks the Impossible."  I meant to listen to the cd the next day but life happens and I didn't get around to it.

Sunday night after many hours of crying and worrying and rocking my baby the cd popped into my mind.  I grabbed the cd and put it into my purse to listen to at work Monday morning.  Let me just tell you that Bree was 100 percent inspired to send me that cd.  I have listened to it three times in three days and I am sure that by the end of today the count will be even higher.

The talk was uplifting and helped me to change my perspective on my situation.  The author's main point of the talk is that the Lord knows us better than we know ourselves and if he asks us to do something we can do it because he knows we can do it.  Even if we fail and fail its okay as long as we get back up and try again. 

I have really felt like the Lord has asked the impossible from me the past year.  Between being pregnant, a stressful job, losing best friends,  my marriage, and Nathan's health issues I have felt stretched too thin and ready to give up.  I feel like my whole attitude has shifted and I finally found the faith needed to keep enduring through the challenges I have been struggling with.  

 I am so grateful for such an amazing friend who sent me exactly what I needed to hear.  I feel like a weight has been taken off of my shoulders even though my situation is exactly the same.   I can do this, because the Lord asked me to and he knows that I can.
