Monday Meditations - Miracles


Miracles

Some people don't believe miracles still happen today, but I believe they do. All you have to do is look to see them. Miracles happen every single day. You can see it in nature, in the birth of the child, and God's healing hand. Recently some friends of ours had a very sick baby. The doctors had given her a 15% chance of survival through the night. Each day she woke up after that was a miracle. It was a testament to all the people who were praying on her behalf.

It's almost as if you don't believe in miracles, what's the point of praying? When we pray, oftentimes we ask God to do the unbelievable, something we puny humans can't do on our own. We want God to do big things, but do we believe that He can? That e will?

The Bible is full of miracles in both the old and the New Testament. God parted the Red Sea so the Israelites could walk across on dry ground. He made a donkey speak. He made barren women mothers. The New Testament is full of healings – the woman with the issue of blood, the man full of demons, and more than one person was raised from the dead.

It's true that we may not see miracles of this caliber happening today, that's also where our faith comes in. Sometimes we have to put aside the physical realities that blind us to see the spiritual truth of God working in and around us.

If you are reading this, you're a miracle. If you knew all the odds it took for you to even be conceived, you would wonder at how anyone is here.

Have you ever experienced a miracle yourself or been witness to one? I would love to hear about how God has been working in your life. Please share it in the comments.

Monday Meditations - Ambivilence

Ambivalence Oh, how this word defines us as humans! We are ambivalent about so many things. We are wishy-washy. We can't seem to make up our minds about anything. Just look at a woman's bedroom after she has gotten dressed. The pile of clothes on the bed tells us that dress is the wrong color, that one is uncomfortable, today's the wrong mood for that one, that one isn't appropriate for the situation, that one doesn't fit anymore… I've known women that can't make up their minds about who they want to date. Some can't make up their minds about which women they truly want to be friends with. College students enter the university with one major and come out with another, yet work in a completely different third field. Couples get married only to find out shortly after the wedding that marriage (or the person they chose in the first place) isn't really right for them I could go on with examples of how we have mixed feelings, unc

Monday Meditations - Valuable

Valuable Sometimes as a mom it's hard to feel valuable. It's often a thankless job. Nobody sees even half of what you do. Work is often paid for with a screaming baby, a temper tantrum throwing toddler, a temperamental teenager, and a husband who just wants his dinner. I once read an article that said stay-at-home moms "should" be earning $162,581 a year. Where are my mom friends who see that in their bank account? You know something? Our mom value is not in money. Being a mom is the highest calling God gave to women, not climbing the corporate ladder. I am not dissing moms who work outside the home. Each one has to make choices as to what is best for her family. This is for all those who choose to stay at home, those who sometimes feel value less. Our value was in the little lives you are molding each day. Your payment is all the sticky, syrupy kisses and the I love yous from the lips of those to whom you gave life. Our value is raising ch
