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

Texting

Sorry for the delay- the site wouldn't work yesterday when I tried to go on and write.
About a month ago, I started sending scripture texts to my youth.  I wasn't sure how this would go since I had asked once before if they were interested in a daily devotional and they all said no.  But, this seems to be different.  It's just a verse and a quick reminder to help them start their day with a focus on God.  It's good for me, too.  It's the first thing I try to do in the morning when I get up.  So, it helps me start my day by focusing on Him, too. 
Today's scripture was John 3:16.  And, why did I choose that verse?  I didn't!  One of my youth did!  So, not only are they getting a text from me, they are sending me scriptures, suggesting their favorites, and responding with comments about how it was just what they needed to hear or that getting that text made their day.  And, to me, that's God working!  Maybe a few years ago they weren't ready for a daily devotion- but today they are ready to start their day with God, think about Him, and use that morning text to help and guide them throughout their day.                                                                                                                   John 1:1
 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Blessings,
