Impossibilities Give Room For Miracles

Whoa!  I am so glad to be back to blogging 

and am more than ready to 

check in on all of you again.

I have missed my time with YOU...

You have all become such a big

  part of me.

Whoever thinks when

they begin blogging for the first time,

such as I did in the fall of 2009,

that they will meet so many wonderful

and real friends through a computer screen?

I think the bond is because we all  have

some what of a writer's heart ♥

or we wouldn't be drawn to this type of format.

“Impossible situations can become possible miracles.”

Robert H. Schuller 

When changes come into our lives

they can be disguised 

as bad things when really they are good and 

sometimes wonderful things.

This past summer I unexpectedly lost my job.

It was a job in a school system, which

fit my life perfectly and allowed

me to be off work in the summertime

which then allowed me more time to be

creative and pursue my love of art.

It also gave us time and money to travel

to go and visit our sweet little grandchildren

and their mommy (our oldest daughter ♥)

and daddy,  who live nine hours away.

Even though I was off work

in the summertime,

we still counted on my paycheck 

through the school months and stretched it out.

I began to fear, but pressed on and 

created more and more

with my time instead.

God taught me

some very great lessons

about myself

and showed me how to dig deep within  and

pull out more parts of ME

that I didn't know existed before.

But...........
HE knew they were there all along!

In times of crisis we often

become

more creative out of necessity and 

new and great things can come 

from that painful stretching and growing.

Things like the:

"We've been there" moments 

that we get to share with our children and

grandchildren when we find them 

going through something 

painful and stretching later on in their lives.
♦

I even grew in the area of selling my creations

and my imagination seemed to expand

during this time.

 It also gave me a deeper heart for

those who suddenly find themselves jobless.

Whenever we get

a deeper ♥ heart for others,

we really do become better people.

Don't you think so too?

  Everyday, 
no matter what  YOU are going through,

I believe God is doing

little miracles

  for YOU all along the way.

Just like he has 

and will continue to do for me.

We just have to remember to watch for them.

Then you know what God

 did for me next? Out of seemingly nowhere,

He provided for me the 

most wonderful opportunity.

He gave me a new part-time job at a place

I have for many years wanted to

be a part of.
Since it is part-time, I will also have 

time to continue on with
my dream 

of creating my art.

 My new job is at a very special place.
I believe it fits well 
with the gifts God has placed 
inside of me.

I am now working at a Hospice organization

called New Hope Hospice.

And what is even greater is I get to see this sweet face!

 This is our youngest daughter Jaymie.

She is a Social Worker at New Hope Hospice.

Woo Hoo! 

Even my sweet daughter wanted 

her momma to come and work where she works!

That is a very special blessing to me.

Don't you love her eyes? ☺

I think she got the goofy gene naturally

from you know who.

Balanced of course with wisdom! (grin)

So to YOU my friends,

  watch for your special miracles.

I just know that God 
has them planned for YOU too!
