{the seemingly impossible} now.

What if you had a dream? 

You know, it's that thing that dangles in the distance like a carrot at the end of a stick. It's blurry and fuzzy but it's true. It comes from the place that is most you. Your soul. Yes, that. That. The thing you see so clearly and feel most deeply. It is the unfolding you. 

What if God gives you a dream, but this dream is different? This isn't something that simply fills your head (although it does do that), it is written on your soul. By God. What then?

And what if it seems impossible? Too big. Too grand. Too crazy. What then? Do people do that? That? And what does it say about me if I say yes to the dream? Worse yet, what does it say about me if I say no?

And then what if God reminds you and me and everyone else that He is in the business of doing the seemingly impossible? That He rights the wrongs. That He writes the next chapter. That He knows what you've been through and what I've been through and that He came not to condemn but to set things right again. What then?

And what if the seemingly-impossible-all-too-crazy dream is His perfectly-crafted-very-intentional next chapter for you? For me? What then?

You and me and everyone else? We take the next step. And we watch Him do the seemingly impossible. Now.
