Miracles

This past Sunday, I was at church. It was around 6:30, and we were getting ready to start our last small group meeting. I was excited. At 7:30, though, I was mostly just irritated. I know I hate it when people say stuff like this, but there is a time and a place for everything. And honestly, I would say that there is a time and a place for goofing around, but small group is not it. And I mean, I love these people. I absolutely LOVE them. But as it was, I was a little bit irritated with another girl there, just because I feel like I've spent too much time with her, so I was just done with it. But then after small groups, we were supposed to have our Read the Bible Through discussion on the prophets. But everyone just kinda wanted to talk. I was done with some of them for the day, so I went outside for a few minutes to clear my head and get rid of my irritations. I was looking up, talking to God, (I'm weird like that, I look up and pray) and watching the clouds. I didn't really know what I wanted, or what I was looking for, I was just talking. Suddenly, I saw the face of a baby in the clouds. I might be crazy, but I think God was trying to get my attention. The instant I saw that face, I realized that I had been looking for a miracle. I also realized that there are miracles all around me, I just don't think about them like they're miracles.  Things like birth, and children, and life. And don't forget the human body. Think about all the tiny parts that you're made up of. There are single atoms that make cells that make your organs that make you. It's really incredible. And then think of all the things your body does without even having to tell it to. Things like breathing, and having your heart beat, and blinking your eyes. And even thinking. Sometimes you have to tell yourself to breathe and to close your eyes, but often times, you don't. But that's off the point. The point is that there are miracles all over the place, and we should look out for them.
