Do the Thing You Think You Cannot

"Do the things you think you cannot do. Do all the good you can, by all the means available, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, all the times you can, for as long as ever you can. Our own feelings of helplessness are our own worst enemy." ~ Mia Farrow

Sometimes life throws a curve ball and you’re left wondering what to do. I have for a while now been contemplating a difficult decision that has just this week been upgraded to urgent. I came home after a long talk with a friend and realized it was time to do the thing I thought I could not do. This quote leapt off the FaceBook page at me and I took a moment to consider my options and then I did the hard thing. I did it for others; I did it for me. I did it because it is good. I did it because I had the means available. I am tired of the helplessness that is taking root in me. I am frustrated by the helplessness and whining that is destroying people I care for. So I did the thing I thought I could not do.

It has left me fearful of the repercussions but for as long as I can, I must fight against that which is not right. Do the thing you think you cannot do. I am out of the boat, Jesus. I am seeing the wind. I feel the sea and wonder if your hand will grasp me if I sink in fear.

Peace,
