Family Record

Awhile back I encouraged the members of the

Single Mother's group I was in to make a

Miracle Book.

I believe recording miracles for our children is the best way we can share our testimony with them.

Today, this minute they may not be interested in what God has done for us or them. They may be running from Him, or too little to appreciate some of the miracles you have recorded.

Someday this book will be a written testament of what God has done for your household.

Miracles don't have to be the huge, growing out of limbs kind of miracles to be recorded.

I have a LOT of Winks from God recorded. Everyday little things that may not mean anything to anyone else, but I recognized where they came from.

During my time of unemployment I have never, not once, run out of coffee. Now that may not seem like a big deal to you.......unless you are a coffee nut like me. Wink from God!!

Filling the book with Family Miracles will not only be good for you, by providing therapy inexpensively, but at some point will show your kids why you spend all that time on your knees.

Writing down the blessings, miracles, and winks from God in one place provides you with a written record of God's love and care for you and your household.

I have also found it a sorce of comfort, encouragement and strength.

When I'm feeling alone and discouraged I only have to look at that book and I have to smile and praise God for what He's done and what I know He's going to do.

How can we be discouraged when we have an entire book filled with things He's all ready done for us?

If you don't all ready have a Miracle Book for your family I encourage you to grab a notebook, scrapbook what ever you have and start writing. It doesn't have to be listed in order, just write the times you know God has shown up and shown off for you.

You can decorate it with stickers, pictures, or drawings, fancy it up or keep it simple. It doesn't matter at all, just get it written down before you forget.

Picture your children someday reading it and getting to know the testament of their heritage a little more clearly.

Telling all the wonderful things our Father has done for you and your household is one project you won't regret working on for years to come.

Fasting and Prayer

I've been unemployed since March. To me, getting through each

month has been a miracle.

God has provided for me in ways I would have never imagined.

I'm in my second day of fasting and prayer. And God has all

ready shown up!

I have insurance on my credit cards to cover my balances in case

of job loss. All went well except for two of my accounts.

My claims for these two were turned down . I made all the necessary phone calls, faxes, tears, prayers etc. to turn their decision around.

Nothing, they weren't going to budge. I kept praying....

Today "something"(wink wink) told me to check my balances on these two accounts.

Less than 24hrs. into my fast, God had BOTH accounts paid off!!

I could barely believe my eyes while looking at those 0 balances.

How can we ever out do our Father?

As I proceed with my time of fasting and prayer I so look forward to drawing closer to

Him.

I know He has a purpose and a plan for me and this time will be well spent.

His love knows no bounds. All we have to do is take one step in His direction and He, the Creator

of the Universe, opens His arms wide and says "I've been waiting for you"

Blessings and Love,

You are not alone

On my bed I remember You; I think of You through the watches of the night. Ps. 63:6

After my ex husband left I would lay in bed at night begging God to let me not wake up the next morning. All I could think about was the hole in my life, the emptiness, the darkness. Fear totally took over and all I could do was cry out in despair. I was alone.

Night after endless night I was gripped by fear and sorrow.

Slowly comfort started to come. It came in many forms, prayer, Bible reading, prayer, Books, prayer, Single Mother's Ministry at church, prayer and more prayer.

One day I noticed the heaviness on my chest was gone. I had not really noticed the constant feeling of someone sitting on my chest because it had been there for so many years. I was truly amazed when it lifted, I could actually breath again. What a feeling.

As the days, week, months, and years rolled on I realized instead of being a fearful, weak, whining mess I was actually turning into something not so bad. I began to feel like a woman of worth, I really believed God had a purpose and a plan for me and it was going to be good.

Now at night, instead of wanting to die, I lie in bed thinking of my Father's love for me. How He, in His infinite wisdom didn't answer my prayer for death.

During the night, instead of cursing that empty side of the bed I am at peace.

Peace didn't come all at once, it was a long, drawn out painful process. But it did come and it is so sweet.

I lie in my bed at night and recount all the miracles He has preformed on my behalf. Friends, I only wish I had time to tell you about each one of them. I am overwhelmed by His faithfulness to me.

I lie in my bed at night and am so grateful He loved me enough to get me out of somewhere I didn't belong so He could put me right where He wanted me.

I lie in my bed at night and praise Him, not for what He's done but for who He is. My strength, my strong tower, my everpresent help in times of trouble.

Yes, on my bed I remember Him, I think of Him through the watches of the night!

If you feel alone, if you're in a situation that you think you can't get out of, if you need to get to a safe place. There is hope, you aren't alone.

I know from experience God will place people in your life to encourage you and listen to you and help get you where you need to be. Spiritually and or physically.

You're not alone, you're not forgotten. He has the hairs on your head numbered, if He's that much into the little details of your life He's well aware of the big issues. Put your trust in Him and He will never let you down.

I've come a long way on my journey, and looking back I can see His hand in each step.

So tonight as I lay in my bed I'll say a prayer of thanksgiving for His many blessings, and ask my Father to give you a special hug so you know He's there for you.

You are loved,

Be Blessed
