I never thought I would be where I am today, and wouldn't be without the miracle of God's intervening. If I want to see a miracle, I need only look as far as the mirror, and remember what I used to see there, versus what I see now.<br /><br />Praise be to God, I am a new creation. The old has GONE and the new HAS COME!!!<br /><br />Love you,<br />HeatherHeather - On the Road...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07683927194494117493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810396843383456111.post-48756742154606404092009-10-05T18:54:18.139-04:002009-10-05T18:54:18.139-04:00Oh what a beautiful post and testimony of His good...Oh what a beautiful post and testimony of His goodness and faithfulness, Joy! I felt like I was with you in church yesterday as you worshipped!<br /><br />Love this:<br />"The Lord showed me that sometimes the miracle is in the strength to carry on. It’s in the power to get up each morning. It’s in standing and singing a true sacrifice or praise and believing that even though circumstances speak cruelly, God is good…all the time. Sometimes a miracle is following God by faith when we don’t see Him working."Sharon Sloanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10578787930211780461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810396843383456111.post-65940071648219329082009-10-05T17:42:20.273-04:002009-10-05T17:42:20.273-04:00We have expectations on God.

What is whole in our eyes is sometimes different in His. What is better to Him is sometimes what we consider not His best.<br /><br />Father, continue to change us so we have your perspective on 'your will be done on earth as it is in heaven".Sandehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10606869771327737827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810396843383456111.post-58132332333242694682009-10-05T16:04:14.225-04:002009-10-05T16:04:14.225-04:00Now that is worship, friend, both in them and in y...Now that is worship, friend, both in them and in you. God has given you the rich capacity to "see" his miracles in the midst of your day. That's what I need every day, not just Sundays. You are such a gift to the world. Keep looking for God's grace and writing about it. You are my hero, friend. I love you.<br /><br />peace~elaineelaine @ peace for the journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675745465728814736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810396843383456111.post-4513742695357577922009-10-05T11:54:06.291-04:002009-10-05T11:54:06.291-04:00Joy,
