He is Able......

I had one of the most exciting times of my life this weekend. I worshiped, prayed and sobbed with 6,000 women.  Sounds frightening to some... all that estrogen in one room.  To me it lifted some of the deepest baggage I have ever worn.  In three words "I'm not alone" freedom came and it came in a big way.

I looked around and saw so many different women.  Sizes, shapes, ethnicities crying out ME TOO!!!! Not just me too, that they too had so much baggage to bear, but also at the same time how many blessings has still been rained down upon them.  I'm not sure Hope could have escaped that stadium if it wanted to.

Priscilla Shirer, if you ever get to hear her please do, kept reciting a passage that if we never know our God or pick up the bible we can lay our hands on and believe.  It comes in the form of Ephesians 3:20 it states:

 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.

I kept replaying those words.  Now- this moment.  Is able, to do not just more, immeasurably more. In our lives and guess what his power to do these things lives in us.

Girls let me tell you we all have a story.  We can all tell of his great Grace at some point in our lives or we surely will.  I can also tell you this its always more, always grand, always dynamic. More then our wants, prayers and dreams could ever take us.

Two times in my life that have been incredibly painful and I believed with all my heart he proved this to me.  When I lost the love of my life  two months before my wedding and when cancer proved it kinda liked me and diminished my chances at a young age to have children.

Not only did God reward me in double for those dark, desperate times of hurt in my life....he lavishly rewarded me in double.  I not only have faithful love in my life, our meeting was nothing mundane.  Atlanta Georgia, random introduction across the way, live 5 minutes away back home and a feeling in that first hug outside that stadium God said this is what it all was for.  He is good. He is from me.  My husband is a contstant reminder of God's immeasurable power.

Fast forward few years later. Not only did God take the hands of amazing surgeons to answer my prayers of delivering a child, I was rewarded the most perfect baby boy.  Then just to top off his grace and love he gave me another child nothing short of boring, guess what? Happens to be a baby girl. One of each for me to adore in his glory. Tell the world he seemed to scream. I have overcome it all and I will for you.

Girls he is able.  I'm not sure what you are facing today.  We all are facing something, but this I know keep praying, keep believing.  He can, He is able and when he does it will be immeasurably more then you could have ever imagined.  That I will promise you.
