God can't do what?!

Things God won’t or can’t do


Have you ever felt down? Alone? Do you often feel like there is no one around that understands what you are going through? Do you feel as though you might as well be out on an island in the Pacific by yourself? Are there times when you feel so weak that you wonder if you’ll ever recover? Are there times when you feel that God has to be looking the other way when things are happening to you? Well if you answered yes to any or all of those questions have I got an article for you Introducing the Old and saint-trusted, Word of God Let me just list for you some of the exciting things you will hear:


God never faints or grows weary (Isa. 40:28)

God never forgets us (Romans 8:38-39)

God never remembers our sins once we’ve asked for forgiveness (Ps. 103:12)

God will never forsake us (Deut. 31:6)

God will never ask us to do something we can’t do through His strength (Phil. 4:13)

God never misses one time when we cry out to Him (Ps. 40:1)

Finally, God cannot forget our name (Isa. 43:1)


You see, we often get stuck in a rut mentally and we get these thoughts going through our head. We can’t do this or I could never do that or I am all alone and no one really knows how I feel. We start thinking them so often that we start to believe that they are the truth. However, we have God’s word and can know that he is moving, guiding, directing and planning for our good He has the best for us in mind. So don’t let those nagging thoughts become your reality. Get into the word, believe what it says.

An uplifting post...

Isaiah 40:28

"God has lost track of me.
He doesn't care what happens to me"?
Don't you know anything? Haven't you been listening?
God doesn't come and go. God lasts.
He's Creator of all you can see or imagine.
He doesn't get tired out, doesn't pause to catch his breath.
And he knows everything, inside and out.
He energizes those who get tired,
gives fresh strength to dropouts.
For even young people tire and drop out,
young folk in their prime stumble and fall.
But those who wait upon God get fresh strength.
They spread their wings and soar like eagles,
They run and don't get tired,
they walk and don't lag behind.
The Message

Major update

Man, I feel like I am still somewhere else. What has transpired since I last posted in the lives of Sarah and Andy? Well:


1. We traveled from Plymouth to Dunkirk to Elwood to Plymouth. From Plymouth to Bluffton to Portland to Bluffton to Elwood to Plymouth. All for Christmas events! wowsers...

2. We went to Orlando Florida for Setapart 07...the internation Wesleyan Youth Conference where over 7000 teens and adults had an amazing time of worship and challenge.

3. We were on a charter bus for 44 hours round trip. Those seats were small and hard. Plus, on the way home, I got sick and had a reversal of fortunes in the "smallest bathroom ever" on the charter bus on New Year's Eve.

4. I have had a cough for about 2 and 1/2 weeks and go to the doc and find out that I have acute broncitis.

5. The Colts lost...boo.

6. Mike Huckabee won in Iowa and came in 3rd in N.H.

7. I got a Wii for Christmas...and WE love it!

8. Sarah and I went to Chicago for her Christmas present last weekend ("Wicked" tickets and a night at the historic (old) Ambassodor East Hotel. Wicked was amazing.

9. I was leading worship yesterday morning and I was introing a song that I had sung a thousand times and I completely forgot how it went. Nothing. The crickets were the only thing making noise in my noggin'. Embarrassing.

10. Life moves on...it never stops and lets you catch up. I am thankful that God never fails at anything that he does. He never faints, he never grows weary.
