RUMINATION means:
1 : to go over in the mind repeatedly and often casually or slowly
2 : to chew repeatedly for an extended period.
Intransitive verb definition is

This page will be a little different from now on. I will be posting WEEKLY scriptures for us all to RUMINATE over. Think upon, Ponder, to chew on it. We as Christ Followers are called to Read, LISTEN, AND APPLY the Word to our lives. I desire to give an opportunity to you for personal growth along with me. Take what you read here and meditate upon it and find ways to apply it to your everyday life. I invite you to leave your comments, corrections, concerns, whatever they may be I want to hear from you!!!

Nothing is Impossible!!

This week has been a great week for me.... I'm not sure why but I am just excited to give you this rumination for the week!  I am continually reminded in my life DAILY that I have limits.  There are things that happen that are totally out of my control and I alone can't fix them.  Sometimes this fact overwhelms me and it sometimes even upsets me.  Being a person that likes to do things by myself and fix things it makes things difficult at times.  We are always faced with things that are to big for us to handle by ourselves.  I was reminded this during this last week.  I have a mind that can go crazy and dream up these amazing elaborate things that I want to do.  Desires and dreams that when spoken to people some would say THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE!  YOU CAN'T DO THAT!  YOU'LL NEVER MAKE IT!  IT WON'T HAPPEN! YOU ARE CRAZY FOR EVEN THINKING THAT!  COME BACK TO EARTH AND WAKE UP YOU WEIRDO!  People around us can have some of the most encouraging things to say to us when we come up with these magnificent dreams and desires! It has always been like this for me, some people standing behind me and supporting me and others shooting down my dreams because they don't see any possible way of attaining them!  One verse that I love to cling to and I was reminded of this week when i had a crazy dream and desire was Mark 10:27 "Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God.” I find it so cool that Jesus He spoke into this specific area of our lives.  He is revealing to us that there are things in our lives that we will face that it is impossible for us to do.  We can't do everything on our own, however there is a way that we can do ALL THINGS and that is with God.  He makes the impossible possible for us!  God is ready and willing to help us in any and all situation.  He wants us to dream big and step out with our complete faith in Him.  I have seen so many people thinking that situations are hopeless and that nothing more can be done and God pulls through for them.  It is a matter of just coming to Him with all of our needs and desires and dreams.  He wants us to be successful, and to be healthy and happy.  All we have to do is fully believe in God that nothing is impossible for Him.  He can move in each and every situation.  

I want to challenge you this week to dream with God!  A quote that I have in my living room says " You never know what God can do with what you have until you bring it to Him."  or "All you have is all God needs to do something Great."  He wants us to dream about doing great things, He wants to lead us into those great times and moments.  He has a plan and a destiny for each of us and it all involves us doing the thing that will bring us the absolute most joy and Him the greatest glory.  There isn't anything that will limit God.  Think about that, is there anything in your life that you want out of your life but you can't seem to figure out how to remove it?  Ask God, He'll help you!  Is there something that you desire to do but don't see how to do it?  ASK GOD and join Him in accomplishing that desire!  Dream big, and don't let anything stop you, because WITH GOD EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!
