Unrealistic Expectations? + Brown Rice Part 4 Dessert

Ever set a goal and think 'there is no way under the sun I'll reach this goal' or that it is totally unrealistic? I know I have and it is those laughable,  'are you out of your mind' ones that I have decided to set and take to God. Who am I with my finite mind to limit an infinite God?

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!  Ephesians 3:20-21

If He wants to do it, He can and then some. And the best part is that our wildest imagination can't even fathom what He is capable of doing.  So, yes we can take these lifestyle goals that we have to God and expect that He can use His power to help us along!
