A friend of mine has been going through a difficult season. It seemed that when things couldn’t quite possibly get worse, well…they did. Two days ago God did a miracle in her life. He not only answered a prayer that would effect her present circumstances, but he took care of past issues that were holding her captive and even went so far as to insure the future need was already met. He answered my friend’s prayer completely. He met her need from yesterday, supplied for today, and gave her hope for the future. That is miraculous. That, to me, is God doing what God does best. My friend will have plenty to share around her Thanksgiving table this year.
I was concerned my last post might have been a bit too extreme. Then, my dear friend shared her miracle with me and I thought to myself, “That’s what I’m talking about!” That’s it! Now, to be sure, my friend has been going through a long desert season. This answer didn’t come without months of tears shed, laying her heart and soul at the feet of Christ. How, when, and why God moves and works in our circumstances is not for us to know, or even understand. God is a mystery, and many times what he wills and allows does not make sense to us. But I am encouraged that, even if it takes my entire life, God will complete the work he began. The prayers offered with a sincere heart do not fall on deaf ears. He knows. He cares. And he is working in unseen realms to finish what he started. He takes care of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. He is a miraculous God.
I love Thanksgiving. I love hearing about what God is doing in the lives of others. I am encouraged in my faith when I hear others boast about what the Lord has done for them. On that note, it is your turn to share what God has done for you. What are you thankful for today? What are you believing God to complete in your life? Share as much, or little, as you would like!
Happy Thanksgiving!

I’m thankfulf for provision this year. I’ve prayed to God to be able to stay home with Emersyn for the last two years but felt that I needed to be obedient and wait for his perfect timing. I am a full time SAHM as of December 16th and I couldn’t be more thrilled. God is faithful. How could I not adore Him?
Amy! What encouragement! Thank you for confessing how our God is faithful. He says He is… and He is!
