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

Shopping

Today I went school supply shopping.  Yes, I'm done with school shopping.  But, it's a great time o load up on things for our next mission project- Operation Christmas Child.  We fill shoe boxes with things for children all over the world to get for Christmas.  It's a way to share God's love with children who don't know Him.  It's a great way to get lots of people involved in helping- some fill shoe boxes, some donate so we can buy things for shoe boxes, some donate certain items for shoe boxes.)
(that was just a free commercial for anyone interested in a great mission project- as well as the intro for tonight's post)
While I was about to check out, a youth ran up to me excitedly to say hi.  She came by the teen center a few times last year.  She was wanting to start a group to help prevent bullying.  I could tell when I talked to her that she was a young person who was not going to just stand by- she is going to help in the community.  I talked to her when she was at the teen center, but she hadn't come all summer.  So, today, seeing her so excited to see me was very promising for the upcoming school year.  I look forward to watching this youth as she finds her way to make a difference in the community. 
Blessings,
Jennifer
