"With God, all things are possible."

My bookmark spoke to me this morning.

Actually, it's not the first time it did. The first time it did, it screamed at me. Do you know what happens when you are in a store and an item screams at you? Of course you do. You buy it.

And that is exactly what I did. I bought it and I brought it home to remind myself that...well, nothing is impossible as long as God is in it.

My question then, though, was just that--was God really in it? Was He the one who had put this silly notion of adopting a daughter into our heads? Had this been His plan from the beginning or was it just a whim on our parts? It was April, 2004, and here we were, asking to do what seemed impossible. Could it be that this thing was possible?

I got my answer in April, 2005.

So now, when I ran across the bookmark this morning--still in its package, mind you; it's too special to actually be used right now to do its job--I was reminded of when and why I bought it in the first place. And now it is reminding me that the other requests that at this time look impossible actually aren't at all because I know for a fact God is in it. I have another promise to tell me that: "Ask, and it will be given to you..."
