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

Bottle of Coke

Tonight is going to be short since I've had a long day and am exhausted!  It's also been not one of my better days.  I know we all have them.  But, I usually look at the positive side of things but today I fully realize I'm looking at the negative, scary side. 
A song kept running through my head this afternoon.  It's a very catchy tune and it's one of those songs that whenever you hear it it's stuck in your head.  It's Philippians 4: 6-7.  And, even with it running through my head, I couldn't shale the anxious, scared feeling.  Rationally, I know God's plan will make things ok.  But, in this very instant, I don't feel like it's ok.
So, in the midst of this, where was God?  Tonight, He was in a bottle of Coke that a friend randomly brought me just because, He was in the hugs from the youth, the sweet words of appreciation from a youth, and the listening ears from friends.  And, that's when I realize all of the people in my life that weren't here when we went through everything a few years ago that I now have to lean on, to encourage me, and to be strong for to keep on going.  So, whatever we find out tomorrow- or next week- I know God has put people in my path to bless my life.
 Philippians 4:6-7
New Living Translation (NLT)
 6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
Blessings,
Jennifer
