I can do all things! = I can do whatever I want! Or, no? Ok, I'll put the loaf of bread back. |
But I can paint like Picasso, should I choose! |
Some Doctors: Many milestones will be impossible for this child to reach. (NEGATIVE)
Me: Nothing is impossible! (NEGATIVE+NEGATIVE=POSITIVE!)
Except for my eloquent writing, I tend to keep my thoughts to myself. Sometimes, however, my obsessions inadvertently cast some light onto what I am thinking. And in one of these vast obsessions lies my response to all the naysayers and fear mongers out there.
This song, my anthem - and my latest obsession:
Very apropos, don't you think?
When mommy popped the new CD into the car stereo a couple of months ago, just to "check it out," I was immediately drawn to the first song, by Planetshakers. And we haven't moved on from there. It is literally the only song we hear while driving.
All.The.Time.
Lest I riot.
As soon as the last drumroll rolls, I'm already demanding, "Again! Again!" both verbally and in sign language for additional emphasis. If it is not replayed instantly, I may start kicking the seat in front of me. Abandon all caution while driving! Just hit repeat! The song must go on.
My obsession with this song is for good reason. I have connected with it on a deep level because the message speaks to me. While many say, you can't - sometimes even I say it - God reminds me, "YES, I CAN!" Because it's him who gives me strength.
This song pumps me up on the way to school and eases me back home in the afternoon. It accompanies me on my way to therapy. And it is an appropriate prelude on the way to ballet. I actually sing to it, quite "impossibly" finishing the word "impossible."
And when I have the opportunity to dance or drum to it, watch out world!
So, do you believe in me??
"'For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord,
‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.'"
‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.'"
Jeremiah 29:11
"Nothing Is Impossible"
Through You
I can do anything
I can do all things
Cause it's You who give me strength
Nothing is impossible
Through You
Blind eyes are opened
Strongholds are broken
I am living by faith
Nothing is impossible!
I'm not gonna live by what I see
I'm not gonna live by what I feel
Deep down I
Know that You're here with me
I know that, You can do anything
I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe in You
I believe too, Daniel, and my heart and prayers are with you! XO

ReplyDelete"NEGATIVE+NEGATIVE=POSITIVE!" - You are right, it makes me have more inspiration.
