all things through Christ

philippians 4:13 says, "i can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." are there any boundaries there, or is it truly "all things?" like these big dreams that my friends and i have of doing this or that-- could we possibly end up doing those things, no matter how big they may be? through Christ?

i write this, thinking about my friend who just arrived home from her third trip to nicaragua, one that brought her some new, crazy, unexpected opportunities and experiences. her heart is no longer here in the states-- it's there. just completely there. w/ the country and w/ the people w/ whom she's developed some really awesome relationships. she has gone from being sure about wanting to be an elementary teacher here in the states to, now, wanting to study spanish and perhaps live in nicaragua someday-- and w/ every trip it looks like that is becoming more a possibility for her. i am like the angel and the devil on her shoulder. see... there is a certain guy there. and i want to say "follow your heart" but at the same time i want to say "hoooold on here, amiga favorita." i want to question things... b/c i'm not sure that, in her state, she has questioned these things yet herself. (i could be very wrong, though... but... new love can often do things like that to people.) *sigh* many prayers will be said for this dear friend and these opportunities. i am so excited about this newfound love (the country, the language, the people, this specific person... etc). and i definitely cannot wait to experience all of this w/ her in july... finally!!! i cannot wait to see the place that truly finds her heart at home. what a feeling... to have a place where you always want to be... but for some reason just can't be (at least not at the moment). again... "i can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." is it so?
