It's a wonderful feeling. I'm not sure how I got to this point, but I have. It's been quite a journey (the past few years) and I'm grateful for everything, every event, every moment I've had to experience.
I no longer look for God to work big miracles in my life. I'm just enjoying my days talking and sharing with Him and He me. I'm not spouting my holiness. Far from that. I'm sharing with you how crazy in love I am with God and how His goodness is with me all the time nowadays. To someone else, good things which happen are coincidences. To me, they are blessings from God and I'm reminding myself to keep thanking God for His goodness.
Here's my small Red Bull blessing from God.
Mike and I had taken a break at a rest point along the North-South highway. We were both tired after a fun-filled day. He'd bought 2 bottles of Red Bull and we'd started our homeward drive again. I opened one bottle for him and held it for him between sips (as he was driving). Tiny bottle, so he finished it quickly, I tried to open the other bottle for myself (I need to keep awake too when he drives so I can make sure he stays awake whilst driving!). But tried as I might, I couldn't move the metal bottle cap. It was so easy to open the first, I couldn't understand why this one wouldn't budge. I tried and I tried. I didn't tell Mike because I knew he'd offer to open it for me (and he always does -- open jars for me, that is -- I just love how strong he is! *blush*) and I didn't want him distracted from the driving. So I just kept quiet and wondered how I could pry open the stupid bottle cap. I continued gripping it hard and twisting but it wouldn't budge
I gave up. I whispered, 'Lord, please just supernaturally open this bottle for me'.
I felt Him say, 'Tap 3 times'.
So I did. I tapped the bottle cap thrice (very lightly) with my fingertips.
Low and behold. I just gave it a simple twist with my finger tips. It opened.
Hmmm.... call it a coincidence. Call me crazy. I don't care. I call it God's divine intervention and how He shows His love for me even in the smallest of ways.
Today, I had my medical appointment at the polyclinic for the purpose of monitoring my blood pressure and some other stuff. Said my prayers whilst driving there and called upon the healing hands of Jesus. I placed my trust in Him and knew that He could work miracles for me. If the doc finds my pressure still high, I will be placed on meds (for life, as you may know). I went slightly earlier and made sure to sit and feel relaxed before my appointment time. Of course they were late and I had plenty of time to sit and stare inanely.
However, there was some mix up and I ended up running in and out of the doctor's room to another counter and back to the doctor's room. She then said she'd just take my BP and I was going, 'Of course it's going to be sky high now!' (after all that running about). But guess what? When the Lord heals, the Lord heals. There are no limits except what we place with our human minds. Despite common sense telling me that my BP reading would be inaccurately high because of my physcial anxiety at that moment, it was an OK reading. Thank, God for that! For now, no meds. Praise the Lord! Yippee!! I'm off to a good start for 2013!
