Perspective on Impossible

Last week I shared a little nugget with the ladies @ the jail that I had been meditating on for the last few weeks and something PA said today at church reminded me of it. Not too long ago I watched Mission Impossible 2 on TV. There was a part in that movie that has stuck with me every since and I still receive comfort and encouragement from it. Well here goes: Tom Cruise's character, Ethan Hunt had just received the details of his mission from Anthony Hopkins' character (can't remember his name - but it's not really important). Anyway, after Tom received the information his boss asked him what he thought of the assignment and if he chose to accept it. His answer was that it was going to be very difficult and the response of his boss is the part that still ministers to me. His response was "this is mission impossible, Mr. Hunt, not mission difficult. Difficult should be a walk in the park." I know that sometimes the challenges we face seem impossible but most of the time they just seem really difficult - but what we need to remember is that both are no problem for God! He is the God of the impossible...difficult is a walk in the park for Him!!! When tests and trials rise up against you this week remember saints, with men it may seem impossible but with God all things are possible! And difficult should be a walk in the park! :-)

Be Blessed, Tomi

That was good Tomi. Another thing to remember is that as you take that walk
in the park, you need to stay focus on your goal and where you are going. Looking
to the left or to the right can get you off the path and delay your arrival. Yes, all
things are possible with God and you must be willing to let God help you through
whatever seems impossible to you.

Hey Tomi!
That statement stood out to me also, when I watched the movie Mission Impossible.
We are continually reminded as disciples of Christ..........Whose we are, and what we can do, through the ability of Jesus.

......... with men this is impossible, but with God, ALL things are possible! Matthew 19:26
