What Is Holding Me Back? Anything is Possible.

What Is Holding Me Back? Anything is Possible.

I’ve lived two-thirds of my life, so far. (If I live into my late 90s). Regrets? Yes, I do have a few; but for the most part, I would make the same choices all over again.

I would just make them sooner.

Press Forward

Instead of looking back, I want to press forward. I’m praying the last third of my life will be the most productive of them all.

It is exciting to think what may be ahead for me. I’ve dreamed of writing books and traveling and speaking about the things God has shown me. Maybe God has something more for me on this latter part of my journey.

My Greatest Desire

My greatest desire is to point someone to Jesus. I hope to use my words and my love of studying to accomplish things for the kingdom; or perhaps intercessory prayer may be the jewel in the crown of my life’s work.

Start Where I Am

I can start with my family. I remember overhearing my Granny’s nighttime prayers when I once lived with her a few months. She could be heard praying over each member of her family. She especially called all her children and grandchildren’s names to the Lord. Every. Day.

I believe prayers live on after a person goes Home to be with the Lord. I also think some of us who knew her could pick up the mantle and carry on her work, just as the biblical prophet Elisha did for Elijah. Elisha ended up doing twice as many miracles as Elijah. I’m sure my family is larger now than when Granny interceded for us.

How Wonderful It Would Be To Pray Family Into The Kingdom!

Jesus said all things are possible to the believer and is even willing to increase our faith if we but ask.

… But please, if you’re able to do something, anything—have compassion on us and help us!”

Jesus said to him, “What do you mean ‘if’? If you are able to believe, all things are possible to the believer.”

When he heard this, the boy’s father cried out with tears, saying, “I do believe, Lord; help my little faith!”

Mark 9:22-24 TPT

What’s holding me back? Anything is possible.

Today’s post was written in response to the prompt, “possibility,” provided by the Five Minute Friday community of writers. We all write for 5 minutes on one word. It’s amazing to see the different direction each writer takes.

In the interest of full disclosure, I wrote for 5 minutes; then took extra time to finish my last point, choose photos, headings and scriptures to illustrate my post.
