I know I sound like a broken record, but...
Loads going on, no time...
Pastor spoke Sunday on miracles and how we still have them, but we may need to look for the less obvious demonstrations of God's power and provision.
Our pastor and his family are one way we see God at work every day. Pastor holds down a full time job and a full time ministry. Both he has been called to. Both are where God has him and needs him. Both keep him hopping and have the potential to exhaust him and his precious family. BUT as he, his wife, kids and our congregation uphold Pastor before the Lord thru prayer, and as pastor says yes to God's plans, God's Spirit pours out exactly the provision needed for the church, his "other" job, his family, and our church.
Our church family is a miracle. So many people, so many personalities, such desire to see God work at various levels in various area. Each person "fitly joined" to supply what is needed in our local body and to further the Message to the many our lives contact with.
And it was not so long ago, they wrestled with the decision of whether to close the doors or keep on keeping on and seek a new pastor. I'm so glad they kept at it!!!
Miracles was actually my plan for my next post, before the message Sunday.
God has been showing Don and I lately the miraculous ways He can and will provide if we wait and Him and let Him.
I have in my mind a list of four things I would really like for my birthday. I really saw no way to end up with more than one of them. God in His love and power has already provided 2 of the things on my list!!! And I have 5 weeks left until my birthday!
God has also blessed us by financially providing to help with the costs of opening our home to those He leads us to minister to.
It was awesome and humbling when we were given a gift card for the exact amount I had just spent restocking our kitchen. Really made me wish I'd have waited on God and not set off on my own armed with Discover card!
So, thank you LORD for all you are teaching us about waiting and watching for your leading and provision. Thank you to all who listened to His voice and have been messengers from Him to us.
And God PLEASE provide quickly for me as I deal with a crying toddler and (p)m.s.!

It's amazing how easy it is to take for granted all that He is doing in our midst...they truly are miracles!
Loved the reminder in this post :)
This is such an inspiring post to me, Sarah. God DOES provide, and it's obvious in everyday life. Thanks for reminding me of that. =)
It was a great time reading this. I have closely examined all He has done for me and my family. I see miracles just in the past 2 years. Thank you for your encouragement and prayers. Thank you for having my daughter for a week and a half. May she be a godsend and not ornry(sp?) like she can be. May He continue to enrich and bless your life and your family's as well.
