That's It? What Else Can I Do?

At my first day of work I remember seeing what is expected of an employee here. My first thought was man, I've never worked in this field before I may need help. Then I told myself to man up, don't be scared and do what you gotta do. I was like That's it? What else can I do? I remembered Jesus feeding the 5000 followers he had amassed [John 6:1-14]. I imagine the convo he had Philip and Andrew

Philip: We don't have enough food to feed all these ppl Jesus!
Jesus: How much food do we have?
Andrew: Just a couple fish and a few loaves of bread!
Jesus: And how many people?
Philip: A few thousand!
Jesus: That's it??? Bring them and I will feed them. What else can I do for you?

You might be thinking, "He's Jesus the Son of God of course He can do that." But He also says that we will go on and do many great things and miracles in His name. So your primary issue should be to commit your works and deeds to the Lord and involve Him in everything you do. When faced with what seems to be impossible just tell yourself, that's it? I know I'm capable of waaay more than what they are asking of me. What else can I do on top of this assignment to really show them what I'm capable of? 20 pg report due by Friday? That's it? Make it 25. NYU wants a 700 on the GMAT or better? Psshh light work! I'll give them 750. Sell over $10000 worth of shoes in 2 weeks? That's it? Im looking at $8500 and its only Wednesday. Cure cancer by the end of August? Man these ppl are insulting my intelligence! When Im done with cancer I'll move on to AIDS. Get out there and attack everything with that attitude. Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week.
