“Anything impossible can be possible as long as you faithfully and earnestly believe it will be. Be confident, do your best and trust God deeply.” — Josh Balerite Acol

Dear Possibilities,

I don’t know you, yet I pretend I do — you are too far from my reach but I am imagining you must be near

I do dream of achieving you soon though I guess I look like a fool to many I am ready to be one if this is the price of reaching something great at hand

I am feeling scared in danger, lost — I see there are a lot of setbacks along the way; in time, I BELIEVE the blessing of winning you is worth the chance of losing you

I can sense inside me a great desire that anything is attainable as long as I can BREATHE inasmuch as I can FEEL the rush of my blood to every veinlet nor capillaries entire my bod

I am with the fiercest fervor burning that which strengthens my will unfaltering my heart imparts power to my thoughts boldness to my touch, no other than my deep-rooted faith in GOD

whereas what was once impossible becomes possible and now a REALITY

Your loyal defender, ME
