Doing it All

Can you do it all?  Blues Clues has a saying I don’t think is true: “You can do anything that you want to do!”  Well…not really.  You can do anything that God wants you to do and enables you to do, that you work for, following His leading.  That doesn’t mean you can do just “anything.” It also doesn’t mean that you can do everything “that you wanna do.”  Yes, you should reach high, and can reach for the stars if it is God’s Will.  He can help you to do things you never thought you could!  However, we are limited, by ability, by time, by resources.  If you can “do it all,” well, la de dah!  (But I think you’re lying.)  We give up something to do something.  There is no doing it all.  If you live in the broken reality of messing up, dropping the ball, trying but not making it many times, and pressure from the world to do things that God just hasn’t made possible yet, and maybe doesn’t want for you?  Welcome to my world.  God doesn’t give us it ALL.  It’s not what life is about, and who could enjoy the simple reality of living if you have to do it all?  If you are reading this, God gave you life, and He laid down His to give you…everything.  Breathe in, let it go, and thank Him for every breath.  He is the only One Who can do anything that He wants to do, and if you belong to Him, trust Him!  He wants the best, not just anything, for you.
