Everything is possible!
It paints hope and my heart is filled with excitement while I reassured myself with these words. ‘Everything is possible……’ I hummed around when I was romancing around in the hills and beautiful valleys. I was just a dreamy young boy who tries to change my way of living at first.
Second, I would like to scale the height of success and climb the career ladder. It means bad turns in life are also possible. Everything did not turn out the way we like. However, it must be for our own good.
I remember my dream of walking the city streets and college corridors before I got the chance to really pursue my dream. Those were the good days; one can dream, and the positive vibes make one happy and smile along as one endure the hard work under the glaring sun.
‘it’s just about time,’ I would say before all the possibilities of life get revealed. And, by saying that no negative aspect entered the young mind. It gives me goosebumps after goosebumps. I believe that I’m quite emotional.
I grew up just like you; with big dreams for life.
Everything is Possible:
The next thing I went through was encouraging. Everything is really possible!
Then I got to know anything can happen in life. The good ones I need to run after them while being cautious. But the detours were uncalled for.
The dark alleys in the big city were haunting at times. Even more haunting when I started to experience the déjà vu moments as I walk alone in a strange land. There were several preludes to this experience resulting from poor health. Yet I don’t want to discourage myself. I wanted to leave everything behind right there. There were certain things I wanted to keep to myself.
Possible Baggage:
Over time, I met good and not-so-good people who added extra bags to my carriage. It was fine! I have my share of good times though.
It was too much when I realized everything is possible including the path I never wanted to tread nor ever dreamt of. Let’s not go down this memory lane anymore for good. Just after a short time, I saw success or a breakthrough in life, which did not last long either.
However, all these experiences were not the reason for my writing this piece.
The Runaway Boy:
Now, coming back to my past, I grew up under the good care of my parents and grandfather who is a full-time worker in the kingdom of God. I have this urge to follow in his footstep. Grandpa also encourages me to do so. I have my share of accompanying him when he visits churches.
I made my own analysis as a young boy. I saw people very much sensitive about their culture and identities. The sad part for me is I got lost in between these small communities. My perception is small and does not bear fruit. I did something wrong here; I want to see where I’m going before I jump the trail. However, God’s path is more unclear in our eyes, which means I have less trust required for the call.
Somehow, I felt I was running away. No one called me that till today; It’s my rendition of me. But that is how I felt many times.
The Depth of the Possibilities
:
Everything is possible. So, I ended up having very weak health, which I am fighting right now. Those nights in the ER and my times in the ICU were all part of the ‘everything is possible – package,’ just The holiday package for promotions. I’m so ashamed of this illness yet fighting within me as I believe God saw me through.
The experiences were not that sweet. I became a nuisance around everyone, especially to my loved ones. I am at my lowest point of life even now. I don’t put out the details in public.
I’m not trying to redeem myself before God when I started writing in my blog and publishing books. (Check out my Amazon page here.) But I still felt, from time to time, that I was that runaway boy!
Everything is Possible:
Even today, I believe everything is possible. There will be a U-turn in my journey by God’s grace. I have had my chance before. However, there is a big difference now as I have to turn down friendly e-mails to make sure I have the foundation course for the ministry. It is biggest my desire that the living water flows through me too. John 4
But, ‘never say never is my mantra for now. Everything is possible if God will be magnified through me. I saw men and women like me. It’s better to wait.
My only hope now is ‘Everything is possible with God!’
