IMpossible

We boarded the eurostar train on our way to London. We were excited about our next adventure, riding this train that goes up to 180 miles per hour. The trip would last about two and a half hours.

Our Journey began slow and smoothly, but very quickly we were sailing acrss the countryside of France, which looked alot like Wisconsin. The leaves were beginning to turn the beautiful reds, yellows, and golds of the fall season. We also noticed something very different. The cows grazing in the fields were white. Interesting.

We had been enjoying the scenery for awhile, but we knew that soon we would be arriving to the part of our Journey that we did not know what to expect. What would it be like traveling 3 miles under the English Channel? We waited and watched with great anticipation and then suddenly we looked to the side of the train and there was a big brick wall. Of course we could not see the front of the train, but we knew we were on our way under the Channel. It all happened so quickly, but suddenly it was completely dark on the outside of the train. Inside we had lights on, so it was like we were traveling at night. It really was not fearful at all. It was actually pretty cool. They told us later that they begin the downward descend a long way from the shores of the Channel and gradually you go down. Honestly, we did not feel a thing. It was amazing.

We were under the Channel for about 20 minutes and then as suddenly as it started, we could see the light again. The voice behind me said, "Welcome to England!" We had arrived. Within thirty minutes or so, we were entering the London station.

Our next step was to find the train to take us to our hotel which is about 13 miles outside of London. It wasn't long and we boarded our second train for the day to our final destination, our home for the next five days.

As we were traveling on this train I saw a sign that perked my interest. It had one word on it with two letters crossed out. The word was IMpossible. The IM were crossed out and the word POSSIBLE stood out completely. My mind immediately turned to the eurostar train that we had just come from. It seemed impossible to me that a train could travel under a body of water, but it is POSSIBLE, because I experienced it first hand.

Just take a few minutes and think about all the IMpossible things that have happened in our world today. People who have accomplished these things had to put their minds to doing something, and then work to make them happen. They probably failed at one point or another until the IMpossible became POSSIBLE. They never gave up when things got tough.

What about each of us? Is there anything in our lives that we think is totally IMpossible? Will we give up or keep working at it until the IMpossible becomes POSSIBLE.

God has given us all great minds and with Him guiding those minds, He can help us to turn all our Impossibles into POSSIBLE.

Matthew 19:26b
"With man this is impossible, but with God all things are POSSIBLE.
