Dreams Come True

I recently watched Alice in Wonderland and it taught me a few things.
The first and most important thing that I learned is that I CAN do 6 impossible things before breakfast (metaphorically speaking).

1. I traveled to both China and Africa
2. I went three states away to attend a Christian University
3. I competed in a pageant and won a scholarship
4. I got to see and be fully emerged in the Pacific Ocean
5. I got chosen to dance with the characters in the middle of the Disney Land parade (and I did it)
6. ****________________**** (this one is for future adventures) :D

Phillippians 4:13 says "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength", and this is the truth. So many times I have focused on what I cannot do, what about ALL of the things that I can do. Now. I am here for a purpose and a season (however long or short), and my desire is to serve God NOW. Why wait until things are "better", will they ever really be better? The fact is that we have limitations, but the truth is that God does not. I am sick of saying I can't because of this or that...I can, just because God is, just because he loves me.

I know that it is silly to take such a life lesson away from a "secular" movie, but maybe just maybe this is another way God works. Maybe it was him whispering to me, "YOU CAN".
