Expecting a Miracle

I'm just going to put something out here. Yesterday afternoon I received yet another piece of information that just caused me to shake. Fear, concern, worry all those fun things I have to fight began to come up and consume me. My thoughts were all over the place.

I am always honored to pray for people, it's something I don't take lightly, but yesterday for whatever reason that one thing just about sent me over the edge. I kept asking God why. Why are these people, good people, God loving people going through this?

As Chad and the girls left for Karate I decided that I was going to just sit with the Lord. I poured out my heart and then closed my mouth. It was silent. No t.v., no music, no computer. No thoughts. And I waited.

It wasn't long and I began to remember the lyrics to a song from my childhood. First, it was the tag from the chorus.

"I expect a miracle."

Then another word..I could hear it, but the lyrics weren't coming back in order.

"supernatural."

I was taken back to my childhood and remembered playing that record (as in vinyl) in our playroom. We just about wore out that Bill and Gloria Gaither kids collection. :)

"inevitable."

I sat trying hard to remember the lyrics that matched the melody I was humming.

"intervention of God"

Yes God that is what we need. What our friends need, what we ALL need.

I felt released to get up and finish dinner preparations. It was still bugging me that I could not match up these words with the melody, but I kept humming the melody and plugging in the words I could remember.

About the time my meatloaf came out of the oven it hit.

I anticipate the inevitable,
supernatural intervention of God.
I expect a miracle.
I expect a miracle.

Today, I am expecting a miracle. I'm already thanking God for it. I just believe that today He is going to show Himself. We've already had a sweet time this morning and I can't wait to spend the rest of the day anticipating His move.

On a different note:

Thanks mom and dad for keeping Christian music in our home growing up. (and for letting us play it loud in the playroom) Who would have thought that MANY years later, the lyrics to a fun dance around the playroom song would become my theme song.

Also...if you think about it..please pray for my mom today. She is having joint replacement in one of her fingers today. Not fun....:) Surgery is at 11:00....thanks!
