Miracles

Some weeks are just plain exhausting. Some weeks you almost wonder if anything at all will go right. Last week, was just that kind of week.

My husband burnt his hand, my child got bit by a dog. We had a child throwing up one night, another child lost out on an opportunity at his university. The weather was crappy, employees were sick…and the list kept going on and on.

We are in a trial. A trial that has many players…many subjects. We constantly seem to be swerving…we are on pins and needles, wondering what each day will bring. The mountain seems unforgiving. It seems to mock us….but at this point I’m like how I am at mile 2 of my 3 mile journey on the rowing machine…and I’m NOT about to give in.

There are days I want to…days I want to get in the car…and drive…

Every day though….God shows up….every single day He throws me amazing blessings…things I never would have imagined. He actually amazes me daily.

Every night I go home and worry…and every day…He makes my jaw drop.

He shows off with my lilacs blooming…

He shows up with yellow doors on houses…a dog being walked by its owner. A baby being carried on the shoulders of its mother. Our park being overrun with kids playing laser tag. People playing baseball…the sound of children singing. The simple pleasures of life…that we all so easily forget.

I don’t want to forget this trial…I don’t want to forget how I reached out each day and felt secure that the God of the universe would take care of me. I don’t want to forget how I struggled to trust…but He always came through. I don’t want to stop remembering the miracles He performed almost daily….

We play this in church on Sunday….not sure I will make it through….

Miracles

“The one who made the blind to see. Is moving here in front of me.

The one who made the deaf to hear…is silencing my every fear.

I believe in you, I believe in you…the God of miracles.

The one who does impossible.

Is reaching out to make me whole. The one who put death in his place. His life is flowing through my veins.

The God who was and is to come. The power of the risen One. The God who brings the dead to life…is the God of miracles…
