Miracle #7: Unknowing Wisdom

OK- without going into all the gory (and extremely boring) details, God is just good. That's all there is to it. With all the concern over the economy right now (and for the most part it's way over my level of understanding- thus the miracle) I'm just very grateful to the Lord that He gives us wisdom, especially when we have no idea what in the world we are doing! And even more, I'm grateful that we can put our trust in the LORD, so even if we did lose every material item on this earth: our salvation is not in jeopardy, our family is with us and we have the promise that God will provide for our needs.

Another side miracle: God EVEN takes care of Bank Charges when you accidentally have a negative balance. You may think it's silly to think that, but I would lay awake at night or wake up in a panic over potential bank charges. God is very patient and has lovingly shown me over the years, that He can handle those too.

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Matthew 6:34

Miracle #6: Five Little Words


I had my annual doctor's appointment last week. Oh the terror of 5 little words: "Please step on the scale." These words strike fear in every woman's heart. We have a love/hate relationship with the scale (mine is mostly hate) and it's usually a very private affair when one is stepping on it. But to have to do it in public! I know it's a doctor's office but come on people! Is it really necessary to have my weight for my check-up? Is it really necessary to make me stand there with all of my clothes and shoes? (which I'm sure add 10 extra pounds!) Is it really necessary to announce it over the intercom (at least that's what it feels like while they are writing it on their clipboard). ANYWAY- I politely asked the nurse if I could not be weighed and he said, "Sure, not a problem!" Sure, not a problem! Attention women everywhere who are afraid to go the doctor because of those 5 little words- ask and a miracle could happen!
