It's Possible

With man, it's impossible, but with God, all things are possible. Life can be challenging and sometimes even overwhelming. Many areas of our lives demand time that you may feel you just don't have. Besides the external demands, we put pressure on ourselves trying to meet quotas, deadlines and reach perfection. I frequently hear the quote, "There's just not enough hours in a day." Oftentimes, some may want to throw up their hands and say, "I'm done," "I give up," or "I can't do this anymore." Wait, hold on because there is hope. God desires for you to prosper and be healthy. That's every part of you: spirit, soul, mind, and body. That's healthy living: a healthy body and healthy relationships, marriages, careers, and families. We all desire success in whatever we pursue. Ask anyone; no one wants to fail. We want successful marriages, children, friendships, families, and careers, but we sometimes forget these all require work, time, and effort. If you want to grow a tree, you don't just throw a seed in the ground, adopt a set-it-and-forget-it attitude, and expect a beautiful, healthy green tree. You must till the ground, prepare the soil, plant the seed, and water it often. As it germinates, grows, and takes root, you still must periodically come back to trim off the dead branches that impede growth; otherwise, it will slowly die. The same goes for our lives. If you desire healthy living, see your life as that beautiful, healthy green tree. Prepare, cultivate, reevaluate, and release those things that would bring death to your pursuit of happiness. With the right tools, you can have a balanced life both spiritually and naturally and love life while you do life. Take the pressure off and get rid of the judgment. Grab your coffee and a blanket, and let's dive in. You will be blessed.
