Don’t You Tell Me God Can’t Do It
Last weekend could not have been more exhilarating and memorable. I rolled back the curtain of many treasured memories that sparked undaunted faith for miracles. Don’t you tell me God can’t answer prayer! I have proof positive from just a couple of days of “raising hallelujahs” for what God has done. Hopefully, I’ll increase your faith muscles from this chronological order in photos.
1- These are my best buds – Charles and Sheila Michie. They were my “right arms” of faith during my sweetheart’s illness. Sometimes faith comes in people – not things; not miracle drugs. They stilled my weary and anxious soul with their support, prayers, and hands of support. They still do to this day. Together, serving in prayer ministry, we witnessed many miracles in people’s lives. Don’t you tell me God can’t do it.
3- This is “Mom” aka mother-in-law. I haven’t displayed too many photos of her because she hasn’t felt so good and isn’t the spry, never-quit gal at 99 that we all knew her to be. But, while I was in the kitchen with Karen, I went to check on her. She was reading the Bible. She looked up and saw me and this beautiful smile made my day. Amazing the light that brightens us all when we read God’s Word. Don’t you tell me God can’t do it.
4- This is Trina Moore. She is one of my girls. She and her family have been one of our “projects”, standing with them in raising their two beautiful children, helping them navigate through family matters, and to be a praying coach and mentor to Trina when she was diagnosed with cancer. She is healed and cancer-free today. Don’t you tell me God can’t do it.
5- This is Sullivan “Sully” Barbour, and his amazing mom, Monica. We were there when this precious young man came from heaven to the Barbour family. Downs Syndrome was the diagnosis. But, this family proved that “nothing is impossible with God” when love, faith and hope guide the way. Today he is thriving at Bishop Kelley High School and is a hero at the Little Lighthouse where he graduated years ago. He goes back to visit and share his gifts and talents with the students there now. He shows them what determination looks like. It seems that nothing is impossible with God OR Sully! Don’t you tell me God can’t do it.
6) This is Sister Marie Pierre – a saint, a mentor and one of my dearest friends. She was an anchor to me during my husband’s illness. She showed me that “those” women in black and white are not scary. They are the real deal when it comes to devotion, service and love of God and His people. I tried to see her on Saturday, but she didn’t respond to my call. That’s not like her. I later heard one of her sisters had passed on that day. I was determined to see her after church, but then at the Bell Tower dedication on Sunday, she shows up – answering one of my prayers. “Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.” (Psalm 37:4). Don’t you tell me God can’t do it.
“Don’t you tell me God can’t do it.” This is a line from the song, “Too Good to Not Believe”, inspired by healing and miracles seen by the writers: Cody Carnes and Brandon Lake who said: “We’ve seen cancer disappear. We’ve seen broken bodies healed. Don’t you tell me God can’t do it.” And those are my words, too! I apologize if you think otherwise because the doubting and unbelieving train left the station a long, long time ago for me. With these “miracle” stories of my own by just a few of those who impacted my life, I assure you God is still in the miracle working business. Don’t you tell me God can’t do it.
