Bigger than me...

There are some things in life that are much bigger than me, bigger than I can see, bigger than I can understand, bigger than can be expressed, and much bigger than I am able to handle on my own. To stand at the foothold of the circumstances of life can sometimes seem overwhelming. To look up from underneath the weight of a thousand worries can cloud our thoughts and block our view from a picture far greater than our tunnel vision will allow us see. Sometimes we stand far to close to our own thoughts. We focus all of our time feeding and nurturing the things we cannot change and then before we know it... that is all that we see. What once was a simple obstacle has now become a tower of self centeredness that has blocked our view of the world around us and from those people and relationships that we once held so dear. Faith is lost and we are left standing looking up at all the things we have tried so hard to handle on our own...

Matthew 17:20
He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
