Every impossible becomes possible through and with Him. What you can’t do, He can do. What you can’t achieve, He can achieve it for you. What you pray for, He will make it happen according to His will. Nothing is impossible for our Jahweh, our Elohim. Just trust in Him and He will make it happen and surely will make the way for you.

I don’t know where to begin, but all I can say is that God indeed had a hand in it. Let me start from the beginning.
I was running errands few days ago after my BSF bible study and I decided to head to a consignment store to put some of my clothes there. Somehow, God directed me to a particular store and had a reason to do that. I was talking to the owner about my stuff and there comes a lovely lady looking for a jacket for her interview tomorrow. She had to drive 1 1/2 h to meet with her potential employer and she decided, on the spur of the moment, to head to the same store I am in to see if she can get a different outfit for the next day. Somehow, the 3 of us clicked right away and we started to talk about God and kissed the cross that was on the owner’s necklace because it came from Jerusalem and was anointed. We were so thrilled to hear about the originality of the cross. Somehow, through it all, the lady poured her heart out and started to talk about her 18y old son who died last year and she started to cry. We put our hands on her and started to pray over her (for her broken heart and her interview tomorrow) What an emotional moment it was. She was so relieved to tell her story and we felt that we were meant to be there according to God’s plan. What a way to praise God and to glorify Him for His plan. We promised to stay in touch and to follow up with the interview result and to keep the lady in our prayers for what she is going through. But her trust and faith in God are what kept her going and accepting the fate of her child. After she left, I sat with the owner for a while thinking about what we just heard and then we talked about our walk with God. This meeting led to a deeper conversation and sharing our problems. What an amazing day. So what’s your story?

God has been so good to me. I am trying to be as obedient as I could but, sometimes, I make mistakes. Who does not? I am human, I am imperfect, I have flaws and I am weak. Only time I feel strong is when I ask Jesus for it and He gives it to me. Now, after soul searching, and time passing by, I know what is God's calling for me. He is preparing for a bigger plan while He is pushing me to take bible studies, to tend to the less fortunate and to train me to become part of Stephen Ministry. He is sending me out to help the needy, the lonely, the sad, the mourning etc...All I want to do is to please Him, to do His will, although, it will get difficult sometimes, but who does not go through difficulty. Didn't Jesus say that it is going to be a narrow road? Let us then go through it with dependence upon Him, guiding us, leading us, encouraging us, strengthening us. What is your call?

Have you felt or seen God's Hand in your life?
Have you felt or seen God's Hand in your life?
It took me a while to publish this, but I wanted everyone to know what I felt the day I fell at a department store, in Beirut, Lebanon.
It was the worst day of my life and the worst pain I have ever felt (including labor). All I know that I was on the floor after taking a big hit and my left arm was twisted all the way to the back and glued to the wall. Intense pain came upon me, and, for moments I felt nothing in my arms and other moments sharp pain. During my screaming (a pain I could not bear), I turned to Christ and kept praying "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me". This verse did not leave my mind and I kept repeating it and repeating it. I finally felt the effect of this verse on me and a total peace overpowered me and I stopped screaming and went into total silence. I was not unconscious but I was quiet as if God drugged me and subdued my pain. I stayed lying down in silence until the paramedics came to move me onto a stretcher. A sharp pain again, but then I was ok. God did something to my body...He appeased my intense pain. He kept me sustained and kept me protected from further harm. When I was consulted by the doctor, after different x rays taken, I realized that I cannot escape the surgery. I was going to miss my dear brother Emile's funeral. This was hard for me to take. I could take the pain but not this...But God's presence helped me to calm down and look up to Him and trust in Him. Yes, trust in Him...I prayed so much all night and in the morning before my operation. My cousin Diana (a very devoted religious woman and with spiritual gifts) came to visit me in the morning and prayed over me. I was ready for my surgery and I was not afraid. I knew I was in the palm of His hand and He will take care of me. I went inside the operating table with such a trusting and peaceful feeling.

Have you seen or felt God's hand in your life?
This time it is a short story.
I was at St David church last Sunday and I had a cheque for the contribution but not one dollar in my wallet. I decided to go after the mass is over to cash some money for I hate seeing my wallet empty. As I entered the lobby, I saw a table displaying St Joseph's bread and each was for $2. Shoot, I thought to myself, I like this bread but don't have money to pay for it. I wanted it like I always do every year. So I went inside the church and started listening to Father Tim preaching and he had a small banner written on it John 3:16. He started to ask people about this verse and no one answered. Lo and behold, I felt something pushing me to speak up, so I raised up my hand and the priest asked me to say it and I went to say the verse in front of hundreds of people. I don't know how I got the guts to do it. But I did it. Everyone clapped and guess what? He called me over and gave me a free bread. God has indeed answered my wish by giving me the courage to speak out and get rewarded for it. Amen.
