Wide Awake

Usually I have the problem of waking up at 6 am and not being able to go back to sleep. Tonight I seem to have the problem of not being able to get to sleep.

Equally lame.

Tonight at my women's group I spent some time thinking about "impossible" things. We were talking about Abraham and when God called him (Gen 12) how ridiculous the whole thing was -- he was being promised all these things that were nearly impossible to reconcile to his current circumstances, by a God that he had never met before.

It really was one of those eye opening moments, where I realized that I have been so lucky to have a track record of God showing up and doing amazing things in my life. Time and time again as He's promised me things -- things that seemed crazy at the time -- He has delivered and those things have happened. I'm seeing even more of that in this season of my life than ever before. And yet I continue to not trust Him over and over again -- spend my time worrying and making "Plan B"...and "Plan C"...and "Plan D" (just in case, of course).

It's exciting to remember...again...that I can dream big...and that even those dreams probably pale in comparison to all God has promised and the surprises He has in store.
