rising up

I’m not sure if you’re like this, but I’m the kind of person that loves a challenge. I can be discouraged and feeling like things aren’t going to work out, but as soon as someone else voices those same thoughts about a situation… all of the sudden determination rises up with in me that things can and will turn around. I hate to say it, but I do well with a little opposition. When someone says it “can’t” be done, in my mind I typically think… “Yeah right, just watch.” The cool thing is that maybe that’s just what I needed to get my act together. This has happened to me a couple of times in the last few days, and while part of me wishes that everything perfectly lined up, another part of me is glad that it didn’t because it gives me the opportunity to be a part of God showing what He can do when things seem impossible. 
I’m excited for what’s to come.
