everyday miracles

I woke up before the sun did this morning. Slipped on some more appropriate clothes, made a pot of coffee, and sat out on my balcony breathing in the cool & crisp fall morning air. I like to do that sometimes; look around and soak in all of God's wonder when most of the world is still tucked away in bed. That's when I feel closest to Him.

I've been doing a lot of soul-searching lately. Trying to find that thread that'll hold me together, the hope that'll see me through. Daily I am learning more and more that the more I lean on God, the better I'll feel. Everything happens in His perfect time and the way He wants anyway. I might as well, suck it up, shut it up, and let Him take the wheel. I've always "known" this but putting what you know into action can turn into quite the battle. I'm human, I make mistakes, and I was not blessed with the patience of Job.

Every day God gives me to work on my faults, share my talents, and perfect my attributes is a miracle. I was reminded of this today. So as I let each sip of this coffee warm my chilly body from the inside out, I'm going to thank Him for this beautiful day and wait for the miracle we've been praying for over the past year.
