FRIENDS!

I am so thankful for my two best girl friends (you know who you are) who continually lift me up.  What a joy you are in my life!  Proverbs 18:24 says,

"Friends come and friends go, but a true friend sticks by you like family."

God bless you T and S.

LOVE this!  Thanks, Jordan.

Okay...

so I seem to be stuck on the word "impossible."  Maybe that is because I have been running up against alot of seemingly impossible situations lately.  But God seems to be bringing things across my path to let me know that my situations aren't really all that impossible, and that I can trust Him when they seem that way.  I "just happened" to read the quote that I posted under my son's football picture on another young man's Facebook page (thanks Matt Goodson).  He also quoted this verse,

"For in the world you will find many troubles, but don't worry, I have overcome the world," John 16:33.

I knew that before today, but it is nice to be reminded of it.  Especially from a young man like Matt.  It is so refreshing to know there are young people out there not only reading God's word but putting it on their Facebook page for the world to read.  Perhaps that is how God is going to overcome... 

A little Carroll

"There is no use trying," said Alice; "one can't believe impossible things."

"I dare say you haven't had much practice, said the Queen.  "When I was your age, I always did it for half and hour a day.  Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
