I used to cry daily; “Lord I need a miracle”.

A miracle that will make me a miracle…

Wondering through the deepest of valleys and the highest of mountains; searching through the smallest of holes, breaking through the thickest of walls and digging the largest of pits

I have been in search of this miracle!!!

I found out that I am already a miracle but never complete until I find this miracle.

In my going in and my coming out,

I told people that I needed a miracle.

One said, “Just enter the bus, and I will pay for all the expenses.” Another said, “I have the perfect beauty.” Another also said, “I have two tickets.”

But all did not match up with the miracle that I searched for!!!

So I prayed once more; “Lord I need a miracle.”

What miracle was I looking for?

A miracle that I can speak to and listen to

A simple but well packaged miracle; with an understanding heart, the ability to choose right, with an unfailing passion and a zeal that is alive.

A miracle that gives me an uncommon focus

And reminds me not to repeat my mistakes.

When I found you, I realized that you were more than what I prayed for.

With uncommon beauty, a smile that could break your heart and bring the pieces back together

You took a place in my life that no one else could take; Ignited a fire that burns off failure, remind me of how it is like to be right again, and joined hands with me to go on this journey of faith.

You carry a compassion that gives the homeless a place to take a nap.

A love that brings healing to the bedridden and puts food in the mouth of the hungry.

 My miracle was not far away; I had walked by you, sat with you and spoke with you several times…

But never knew that you were the one.

Until God showed me that I was searching the wrong places.

You are the miracle that has changed me positively and shaped my focus.

Julie, you are the miracle that I have been searching for.
