Last month I lost a black journey that a dear friend gave to me for my 21st birthday. It had drawings, poetry and bible studies in it.
I was going to take it to work so i could do some writing but before i could it fell out of the car. I didn't notice until I was already at work and looked around for it. I called my dad to check in the car if it was still there. He looked and said no. I'm friends with all the security guards in the valley mall and I asked if they could look outside to see if it's out there. They were kind enough to look for me. No luck though.
I was hurt cause I lost something that she gave me. I thought about it the whole time I was at work. It had memories writen down, and picture ideas and thoughts. It had everything. It even had Bible verses throughout the journal.
After a while I told myself, it's just a book. Sure it has my ideas and such in it, but it's still a book. Yes the reason behind it and the symbolic meaning means a lot to me.
But it's still just a book.
I asked God if it was ment to be that I get it back, awesome; but if not, that would be ok.
The rest of the day went smoothly and the next day comes. My dad dropped me off for work and then came back 10 mins later. I saw him holding up the journal. It was totally destroyed by the storm we had the night when I lost it. I gave him a hug and took the soaked journey.
That right there was a little miracle to me.
Yesterday was a super busy day from the beginning. Woke up from nightmares, went to Dq and we were slammed like no tomorrow. I had a huge workout that day, running back and forth making many ice cream treats, getting orders, etc. Everyone was super tired too. We all lost our minds by the time for us to leave.
At Things Remembered it wasn't my kind of day, one sale and had issues at the end of the night. Simply not my day yesterday.
I got home around 11pm super tired and annoyed with the day. I got into the kitchen to have some food, but totaly forgot about it when I saw a green envelope on the table. I read who it was from and it was from two friends who just got engaged. It was a letter saying thanks for helping them getting the funds for their trip to Mexico. They even made me a cool keychain.
So even tho it was a super long messed up day, God can show you little miracles that you need when the time is right.
We wake up everyday and that in itself is a little miracle.
We have a roof over our heads, clothes, and so much more.
We don't necessarily need to have a iPhone or the best car in the neighborhood.
We should be humble with what we have.
I'm taking the time for now on to try to see God's little miracles every day.
