A month later :-)

Just read an awesome story on Natalie's blog...

Had some an amazing past month- yes it's been a month since I last blogged!!! it's been amazing and crazy busy! :-)... some stuff I've been thinking bout...

Miracles…deep inside, we all long for them, and yet at the same time we are afraid that they will not happen and so we keep our desire from the hidden away in the safety of our hearts and minds. We reason that if no one else knows what we hope for it is somehow less heartbreaking when it does not come to pass

as children we dreamed of impossible things; we removed all limits from our imaginations; we hoped. We dreamed, we believed. Then we grew up and our dreams did no come true, our hopes were shattered, our belief betrayed. So we did what any normal person would do- we put up the walls, got ourselves some protection, prepared for failure. The problem with that is well, its wrong!

We had it right when we were children. The kingdom of God (a kingdom of power, miracles, dreams that are fulfilled beyond our wildest imagination) is revealed to little children. The thing is miracles; supernatural acts of God still happen, o they do! Everything He ever said about Himself (Faithful, Almighty, Loving, Kind) is all still true; every promise He ever made still stands. Miracles…deep inside we know that’s what we were made for; deep inside we know that because our Father, Lover, and Friend is God; the Creator of the universe, our lives should and can be nothing less that extraordinary, supernatural, miraculous! “Give us back our childlike faith!”
