As my daily devotion time, I'm going to write, instead of read someone else's, daily miracles. My hope is, that by doing this, I will enrich my journey and awareness of God in the little things in my life and also encourage others to do the same. I encourage you to share your comments and stories of things that you encounter along your journey.
Blessings,
Jennifer

Going Home- Part 1

Today was awesome!  Right now I am overwhelmed by the blessings of today!  So much so that I am separating it into three posts.  This weekend I've taken some time off for myself.  I don't do that often so it's kind of a big deal to me. ;)  But, it wasn't just time off.  It was time off with my family and some of the people who helped me along my spiritual journey.  So, I'll start with this morning.
I got to my parents this morning and sat down to relax and chat before we left for the campground for the day.  So, shortly into our conversation, this blog came up.  And, then, my dad said something amazing to me!  Something has been on my mind the last week or so and I've been feeling a nudge to do something.  And, my dad says "I think you should..." ! (someday soon if I do it maybe you'll find out;)  ) So, my day started with words of encouragement from my dad.  I am so blessed to have parents who have always supported me and encouraged me.  They taught me so much about how to live as a Christian.  And, although they told me, it was more that they showed me by their actions.  My favorite scripture is one that I love because it's how I saw my mom live and how I try to live.

Jeremiah 29:11 New International Version (NIV)

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
So, where was God?  I think He was speaking through my dad's encouraging words to nudge me further to pursue a dream of mine.  Another step along my journey...
Blessings,
Jennifer
