2 Miracle Day

Today was a 2 miracle day!  (Was certainly more than that, but these were just the obvious ones. : )
I am not going to give a full run-down on the day but I will highlight the 2 miracles. 

The day started off slowly.  The kids got up before I did, in fact they crawled into bed with us.  Always fun to have tired little people piling into a small bed and jockeying for position until I finally get up to make it easier on everyone.  It always starts off so sweet, but it gets way too crowded by the time the last one arrives.  : )

I had to head downtown to take care of a whole list of important errands as quickly as possible before stores closed for siesta and the window of opportunity was over.  It was a lot of ground to cover and I was moving as fast as I could without getting too sweaty. 

All of a sudden, I felt the Holy Spirit tell me to double-check a little hidden pocket in my sling bag.  I use it to hide important paperwork.  Well, as I flipped the bag over my shoulder to take a better look, I discovered that it was wide open!  I had opened it to take some stuff out at the house, gotten distracted and forgotten that it was open, walked all over town, ridden in a bus and a cab - and only now found out that it was hanging wide open - with our passports in it!  Yikes!  Thank you God that everything was still inside of it!!!

Then later that day at the church after teaching our English class I was chatting with students and cleaning up when suddenly I heard a thump followed by screaming.  Aliana had been playing with some kids and running when she slipped by accident and landed right on her head.  She was really hurt and screaming loud.  I scooped her up and starting praying for her.  I kept it up, periodically looking her over and seeing how she was doing, until she was finally all better.  I just knew in my spirit that it was what I was supposed to do.  God wanted to show His power and do a great work in her little life.  I felt that in that moment, not only was she being healed (God taking care of her immediate need) but also that the moment was being burned into her (in the future she would be the one praying for the healing of others and having complete faith in God for it as she had experienced it so clearly herself). 

She still has a nasty looking mark on the side of her forehead ( I think it is a "See That!" from God to remind us that Yes, she really should have been hurt badly) but she is in no pain, no swelling, and as far as we can tell no other side affects from the event.  God is Good!!!  : )

Well, it is late and I really need to get some sleep. 
Good night all. 
Have a great day & see what miracles God will do in & through your life today -
He really is cool! 

Paz, salud, y milagros a todos -
