God's Hand

Has someone ever asked you why miracles don't happen in today's world like they did in the times of the Bible? I've had people ask me that multiple times. They want to see for themselves just how God is at work. They want to see it not just read about it. Lately, it's like God's been showing off how awesome He is. And you know what? It truly is amazing. And now you get to hear about it.

1. There were tornadoes all around my brother and his friends in Oklahoma. There was a few literally down the road from him and they were headed right towards him. At the time, we had just seen how destructive those tornadoes were. The whole world saw houses ruined, innocent lives taken, lives destroyed, and now those tornadoes were headed towards my brother. Guess what. They stopped before they got to his apartment. I have no doubt that God had his hand on my brother and protected him that day.

2. Our neighbor and good friend has been battling breast cancer for some time now. It was pretty advanced when they found it and I think they said it was stage 3 (I could be wrong). We all know how awful cancer is. We all hate it. She had surgery about 2 weeks ago and got the test results back recently. 98% of the cancer was gone!!! As for the other two percent, they were nonviable. Seriously could not have asked for a better report! How awesome is that? This is one of those things that can't be explained; there's no doubt that it was God.

3. This past weekend, we had a wedding to go to in Port A. On the way back to Rockport that night, our car died on the ferry. Literally on the ferry, yall. After a big fiasco, we were finally able to be towed home by my dad's awesome and dependable BFF. I don't know if yall have ever been towed, but it's slightly terrifying. Because the battery was the issue, the power steering and power brakes were both shot. I was pretty worried about the way back, I'm not gonna lie. BUT our God is an awesome God. The whole back back, we NEVER hit a red light (slowing down can be a hassle), there was NEVER any traffic while driving or merging onto the bypass, there wasn't any traffic while crossing the bypass, and a person even drove behind us with their flashers on for awhile to make sure that we were seen. I was talking to my dad's friend that picked us up and he said that on his way to us, there was a ton of traffic and he was worried about us getting back. But then our God protected us.

It's kind of like God is showing off lately and trying to get my attention. These are just three circumstances that have been very obvious. I'm not even mentioning the things in life that people take advantage of that very obviously are miracles of God. Things like a baby being born, the fact that I'm still alive, the fact that God's grace saves mes when I screw up daily, and even the simple things like a sunset. It's nice to be reminded that God's hand is placed on my life and that he's not just chillin up there enjoying the show.
