Miracle Monday - I AM!

Welcome to Miracle Monday! I love to share everyday miracle's to remind us that God is still a healing, delivering, forgiving, miracle working God. Today my post is a little different then usual, but I hope you will be blessed and encouraged by it!

I had a particularly hard week last week. I was fairly sick to begin with, so I started out exhausted and weary. We had a huge Thanksgiving dinner at our church on Saturday and it was a lot of work to prepare for. But the hardest part for me was emotionally. I had a friend who delivered a beautiful baby girl, another friend ready to deliver in a few weeks and was told Saturday morning when I arrived at church that another friend is pregnant. As excited as I am for them all to receive their tiny blessings, I had a mini-meltdown.

Our 15th anniversary is tomorrow and it feels bitter sweet to me. We have survived so much together, 21 surgeries, death, cancer diagnosis, failed adoption and, hardest of all infertility diagnosis. While I thank God that our marriage has survived all this and we are stronger then ever, I still feel frustrated! I've done everything God has asked of me. I push and strive to be everything I can for Him! I sacrifice so much and try to be as obedient to His word as a person is able. Why hasn't my miracle happened yet?

For 2 days I quoted scriptures to myself, telling myself to get a grip!

"For the promises of God in him are YEA, and in him AMEN, unto the glory of God by us" 2 Corinthians 1:20

"And being fully persuaded, that what he had promised, he was able also to perform" Romans 4:21

"O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me" Psalms 30: 2


"In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me" Psalms 120:1

"But He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed" Isaiah 53:5


"But ye brethren, weary not in well doing" 2 Thessalonians 3:13


"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." 1 Timothy 1:7


"Finally brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of a good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things" Philippians 4:8

I thought I was doing good encouraging myself until God woke me up at 3am this morning. "Sarah, those scriptures are great but you are forgetting a very important one ...

"And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you." Exodus 3:13-14

I AM

?? What God?? What does that have to do with my healing? "Everything, Sarah! Everything!"

If I could earn my healing by determination and will, I would already have it. But I can't ever earn the grace of God. I will never be good enough, holy enough or righteous enough. Now don't get me wrong, obedience and sacrifice are very important to God. But they are not what heals me. What heals me is I AM!

I AM created the universe, the heavens and the earth!
I AM is supreme chief over the heavenly hosts and principalities of darkness!
I AM spoke and created man out of the dust of the earth!
I AM knows all, sees all, hears all and is everywhere!
I AM loves me!

I don't even know if I can put into words properly the magnitude of what I am feeling right now. The greatest miracle that has ever happened in my life is I AM holds me in his arms! So why do I fear and fret and worry? Don't I realize that I AM knows, understands and cares about me? Do I really get it? Do I really understand what a miracle that is?

Today I am thankful for the miracle that I AM knows me!

Gourmet Coffee, Tea And Hot Chocolate! YUMMY!

I'm not a big coffee drinker, that would be my husband! But I LOVE to drink gourmet tea's and hot chocolate, especially in the winter to help warm me up! Since our family doesn't make pot's of coffee each day I've really been wanting to try a Keurig home brewing system. It not only brews gourmet coffee, teas and hot chocolates, but it makes them one cup at a time so every time I want a drink I can make a different flavor! YUMMY! 

Keurig K-Cup Home Brewer

And of course I have to get this cute display tower to make choosing my favorite brew easier! I might actually look forward to waking up in the mornings!

Keurig 5071 K-Cup Carousel Tower 

Keurig has this variety pack coffee sampler which would be a great way to test all the flavors and find our favorites. Also great for when company comes to have a variety!

24 Count K-cup Flavored Coffee Sampler

Keurig also has a tea sampler pack so I can have a variety of tea's to choose from! I know my nieces would have so much fun coming over and have a tea party with gourmet tea's!

24 Count K-cup Tea Sampler

 And one of my favorite things in the cold Maine winters is Hot Chocolate! There's nothing like coming inside after shoveling, to a warm cup of hot chocolate! I confess these are what I am really looking forward to drinking! :)

" ... all things are possible to him that believeth" Mark 9:23

The Situation Was Hopeless ... BUT God!

Several years ago I was very sick and on my death bed. (You can read my testimony HERE) Everything looked IMPOSSIBLE! I was in SO MUCH PAIN that my body constantly shook. No matter how much medication I was given, even while I was passed out, I shook with pain! I was so sick I didn't care who was around me or what they were doing. I didn't watch tv. I didn't read books. I just laid there in agony praying for mercy, praying to die! The doctor's said it was hopeless, there was nothing they could do, my body was failing! They gave me ALL the morphine I wanted, trying to make me as comfortable as possible until my transition to the next life. We called in our Pastor at the time. He said the death angel was there and left weeping, never saying a prayer of faith. The diagnosis was given. I was going to die. Doctor's had spoken it. Pastor's had spoken it. We had accepted it. I had prayed for it.

THE SITUATION WAS HOPELESS!

BUT GOD! hahaha I love it when God says BUT! The situation was hopeless but God said "I will have the final say!" HALLELUJAH THANK YOU JESUS! God came on the scene and changed those circumstances. He loves impossible situations to show his power to his people! I did not die! The "death angel" did not come and carry me away! My diagnosis was still there, but God changed the outcome!

Are you facing a situation that seems impossible? You've done everything you can to change things, but it still feels hopeless? Well I encourage you today to stop looking at the circumstances and trust in God. I know it feels scary to hope. You put all your feelings and emotions out there and are vulnerable. The "what if's" threaten to consume you. What if God doesn't do it? What if I don't have enough faith? What if it is still God's will for the answer to be no? What if I'm not strong enough? The list goes on and on. But you will never truly know how BIG God can be in your life if you don't put him to the test. If you always accept circumstances as they are HE is not given the opportunity to show you how much he loves you. I will not lie to you, sometimes his answer is still no. But when you put your trust and faith completely in him, he gives you peace to accept what his will is. And I promise you that you will not be disappointed in HIM! Give faith a try! Put God to the test! And see what he will do in your life! Don't be afraid of the outcome, but TRUST IN HIM!

Psalms 18:30 "As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him"


Psalms 34:22 "The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants; and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate"


Psalms 37:5  "Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass"





Nearly 13 years later my trust is still in My Lord!


Are you believing God for your miracle? Have you cast your burden's on Him and let Him decide the outcome?
