Yup, Jennifer again, my Cancer Camano Companera at it again. We were doing “God talk” as Pilgrim Farmer Juan would say. It was about not feeling overwhelmed with our walk, our Cancer Challenge. About being able to not only function but to thrive in this special environment that we find ourselves. How can that be? What does that look like? Is it available to us?
Of course, Jesus tells us nothing is impossible, but we are not going to do it alone, on our own. We are not going to do it with our own resources formidable as we think they are. We are used to improvising, adapting and overcoming to solve about anything. But there is a certain point that we can’t go beyond on our own, not possible.
And this is the point in the conversation that Jennifer comes up with, ” Well, it’s time that I lasso God.” Haha, I love it. I get so used to living in my own brain with it’s own particular sensibilities. The image, the thought, the vision would never occur to me but really it is totally perfectly beautiful, bold and ultimately useful. I really can’t get it out of my head.
It boils down to putting God to work for us, although that sounds strange. Isn’t it we that are supposed to serve God? We have been told that a million times, literally. But He is available and willing 24/7 to serve us. All we have to do is move into that realm of faith where we acknowledge Him and agree that nothing is impossible if we work together.
Well, just insights along the Cancer Camino. Make the most of today, love, Felipe.
