wisdom from the Mad Hatter?

"Everything is possible for him who believes." --Jesus (Mark 9:23).

I made a fun little diaper cake for a baby shower while I watched Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. Loved it. My favorite line?
Alice: "Sometimes I believe 6 impossible things before breakfast."
Mad Hatter: "That is an excellent practice."
She was about to slay a dragon. Her destiny. In her eyes it was going to be impossible. But it was quite possible for her to be the one to do it.  The Lord leads us to do things that we may see as impossible, but maybe we need to take up this "excellent practice" the Mad Hatter speaks of & think of 6 impossible things before practice... count them. 
Salvation-- yet Christ made the way for us to God the Father. Jesus says the only way to the Father is through Him. 
Redemption-- yet through Christ our lives, no matter how battered, can become healed and whole.
Healing-- yep lots of people are still healed everyday from physical & emotional pain.
Living anew-- Romans 5-6. dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. 
God Protection-- Reading about how God protected in Corrie ten Boom's book The Hiding Place, was amazing!!! she shares proof of miracles (the impossible). 
Forgiveness-- it seems that loving someone who has done wrong to us is just plainly impossible without the love & forgiveness of Christ. (like Corrie ten Boom forgiving one of the most brutal guards from the concentration camp she was imprisoned in)
