Faith Like Potatoes

"The condition for a miracle is difficulty, however the condition for a great miracle is not difficulty, but impossibility"
                                           ~Angus Buchan

 One of my favorite movies is the true life story of a preacher from South Africa. That sounds like a boring start, but let me tell you, his life is anything but boring. The movie tells the story of how he moves from a life of anger and desperation to one of bold, fulfilled faith and how he trusts God for the impossible. He sees God come through in an amazing way when he feels God asks him to plant potatoes, a water dependent crop, during one of South Africa's worst droughts. The results were incredible and Angus went from being an obscure farmer to a great preacher and through all that he made the statement above, "The condition for a miracle is difficulty, however the condition for a great miracle is not difficulty, but impossibility."

 The last few days I've been praying and feeling like I'm facing impossibility. 

 the impossibility of a license, work permit and visa coming in less than 3 months. 
the impossibility of getting into a training program that's beyond full and stacking up a waiting list
the impossibility of ...... and the list goes on. 

 But....

 As I've been praying I have also been feeling a confirmation in my spirit that God has these things under control and that He is just asking me to have a bold faith for His work and his hand. 

 In Exodus 14:13 Moses and the Israelites were caught between the Red Sea and the Egyptian army but Moses, having heard from the Lord told the Israelites, ""Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today." I believe that is what the Lord is telling me today. Stand still. Trust what I've told you and wait to see what I am going to do. 

 Trusting God for the "potatoes" I need....

Psalm 121: "He's not breathing! Please come now!"

  This story was shared with permission from the patient and family “He’s not breathing! Please come now!” The voice on the other end of the line was tense, close to panicked. “I’m coming now.” I replied. I hung up the phone and ran out the door. I drove across the center, praying urgently for God’s wisdom and help. My car rattled to a stop at the end of the driveway and I could see people standing near the door. I jumped out of my car and ran up the drive and into the house. The patient was in the throes of a severe seizure and was surrounded by scared and desperate friends. My eyes took in the situation and my mind clicked over into assessment mode: watching his chest, feeling for pulse, checking for responses from the patient. Within two minutes it was clear the seizure was not going to stop. “We need to get him to the clinic in my car.” I said. One of my friends grabbed my keys to open the doors of my car, and several strong guys came and picked up the patient. I guided them ou...

The Glorious Everyday

A double rainbow that caught our attention "The heavens declare the glory of God;  the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world."                                                                                                Psalm 19:1-4a NIV    A soft breeze wafts through the window of my office. I can hear kids jumping on a trampoline next door and the bustle of the end of the work day as people head home. The smell of fresh grass and light rain and sweet wood smo...
