How do we deal with these seemingly impossible challenges? We learned Sunday that it begins with admitting that we are in over our head followed by belief that God has a solution to our challenge. We can then catalog our resources before delivering what we have to God. Which of those four steps - admitting, believing, cataloging and delivering - is the most difficult for you and why?

Mission: Impossible
Life has a tendency to serve up seemingly impossible and insurmountable challenges when we least expect it. Perhaps it's that frightening diagnosis from your doctor, the unexpected call from your boss about company downsizing, or the betrayal of a spouse or a child with whom you are constantly battling. These challenges may not always be life-threatening but they are always life-altering.

Actually, the most interesting part of Sunday for me was holding the bread and considering what I already had. I had never really thought about it in that way before. Was cool to identify that I actually had two loaves and fishes.
We are masters, aren't we, in identifying all the things we don't have. That was the main emphasis behind having everyone, in a tactile way, connect with the reality that God almost always begins his overcoming work with the things you already posses. Great observation!
