Miracles
Miracles, seems like such a short word to describe something so meaningful. I was thinking about the future, particularly my future, while I was reading. There seemed to be such a storm going on inside of my own soul. I could not calm myself. Nothing truly dramatic had happened in my life, but my head was spinning and my blood was pulsing. When I read about how Jesus calmed the raging sea I felt my own soul be calmed. In that moment miracles became something more than an event or happening but a stepping stone. It occurred to me that miracles (like my troubled heart being clamed) do not simply occur, because part of the miracle is that it can lead me further in my eternal progression. As I looked around my apartment the stove, heating, blood filling my veins, oxygen filling my lungs, all became tiny miracles that helped me to grow.
