Do you believe in Miracles?

I do. I have seen God's hand on my life many times over the years. This past year has been especially hard on me and hubs. He has been looking for employment and my job is not exactly bringing in the big bucks. There are many reasons for us to be discouraged, fearful and at our wits end.

Today hubs called me at work and were just going through the list of bills to be paid and noting that things are tight.. very tight. My first instinct is to panic because that's what I would normally do. Start thinking of what I can sell, what can I do to make a few dollars, etc. As soon as we hung up, I did the one thing that I know ALWAYS works and that is PRAY. It was a simple prayer, just giving all my cares and concerns over to God. I prayed that God would reassure me someway today that all would be ok.

It's just like God to produce a miracle. About 2 hours later an unexpected refund check came in the mail. Some people say to me that it happens to be "good luck" or "coincedence". I don't believe in either. I still believe in miracles. I still believe that my God can do ALL things and that nothing is impossible. I would much rather believe in a loving, gracious and caring God then in luck.

Thanks for caring about the little things so I don't have too

A sad attempt at staying young

It is What It Is --- anyone who has known me for any length of time knows that this phrase comes out of my mouth pretty often. I figured it would make the perfect name for my blog. Many of you may be pleasantly surprised to see me venturing out into the blog world. Several months ago, a younger, hipper friend of mine who I haven't seen in ages sent me an email. We were catching up on all times and talking about the current events in our lives. I was just thinking what a wonderful modern convenience email is when he asked me if I have a blog. At that moment, I realized I am totally outdated.

I remember as a teenager laughing at my parents for how "out of it" they were when it came to technology, music and basic "pop culture". Now that I am a parent, I can see how easy it is to become out of touch with certain things. I can only imagine how much technology will change by the time my 3 year old is a teenager and I want to be sure I can still communicate with him and be able to "speak his language". I'm also hoping this blog will reconnect me with my dear friends all over the country. So what do you think? Am I a lost cause or is there hope for me yet?
