Gotta admit, I have been stricken with "someday syndrome" many times over.  Someday, I'll get to my ideal weight... someday, I'll get to tomahawk dunk a basketball ... someday, I'll get to finish the ridiculous burger challenge in 5 minutes!

Today's devotional challenge...

In what area of your life are you suffering from the “Someday Syndrome”? Make a decision today never to use the phrase “someday, when things settle down.” Realize that today is your someday!

I've limited God in so many ways.  I have to keep reminding myself that God cannot be put in a box.  I can't say He can only do this and this one, He can't.  I'm putting myself in His shoes and that's a dangerous place to be in.

Last year, my wife, Jenn told me that her dream is to go to Paris.  I thought, "Ok darling.  Maybe when we are in our 50's or 60's, we'll make it to Paris.  I'll have to save really hard and work double time to make that happen.

A couple of weeks later, someone comes up and says, "Hey Paolo, I've racked up miles in my mileage card, would you want to bring your wife to Europe or something like that?"  My answer?  "Hmmmm... ok... I'll think about it.  Sige, I'll tell Jenn."  (Trying to be as cool as possible and yet exploding inside!)

Now a few days later, as in the very same week, my aunt emails me and says, "Hey Paolo.  I have TIMESHARE coupons for Paris.  Would you be interested to use it?"

NOW THAT'S PHENOMENALLY COOL!

I've limited God by saying, "Someday, God, I'll be able to bring my wife to Paris."  Not realizing God "is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think" (Eph. 3:20)...

God's such a cool Father.  Simply amazing.
