Today, Neil uses absolutes: His [God’s] goals for you are possible, certain, and achievable.
He reminds us of what the angel told Mary: Nothing will be impossible with God.
What are His goals for me?
For starters, He has put me into a specific family, neighborhood, and
church; He has directed where my kids go to school. In each of my spheres of influence, starting
(and most importantly) with my family, that I be the best wife, Mommy,
daughter, neighbor, friend and mentor I can possibly be.
I spent part of Christmas Eve-day at the Urgent Care – yes,
I’m sick on Christmas. I expected to
wait for hours, but instead, I was greeted by cheerful front desk staff
members, treated kindly by a nurse, and met a very sweet doctor who took good
care of me.
And I made a point to thank each of them for working on
Christmas Eve. I know, they probably
enjoy the overtime, but my guess is they would rather have been with their
families. My point is just that God has
made me who I am so that I can be a blessing wherever I go. Sometimes, the assignments will be small,
like thanking someone; other times, they will be big and scary.
As the angel said, Nothing is impossible…
Merry Christmas!
