new years resolution

by socialchick~ I said I wasn't going to have a new years resolution but God had different plans for me. Let me explain.

As I have mentioned before Mr. Social and I have been looking for a van. Well one day we were riding in the car and talking about what kind of Van we wanted and how much we had to spend on a new (to us) vehicle. Mr. Social simply made a statement something like this, "I wish someone would just give us a Van!" Well I simply commented, "yea right!"

So the next Sunday morning I was putting on my makeup getting ready for church and God dropped in my spirit that He wanted me to start believing in the miraculous. So I kind of went on and finished getting ready and didn't think much about it until I felt it again. This time I was on the drums at church. So I thought to myself is this something that I need to share or is just for me. Then God started dealing with me on how I said "yea right" on someone giving us a Van.

I suddenly knew that God was telling me to believe in the miraculous. I have always felt like I had a lot of faith on the small things but I guess I have maybe doubted the bigger things (to me). Nothing is to big for God.

So two Sundays ago Daddy (our pastor) was preaching and said that this year is the year to believe and see the miracles of God. Ok, ok, God you got my attention. Then I sat down to do a daily Bible study last week and the study had me turn to Ephesians 3:20 and this is what it said.

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine"

I'm not saying that God is going to give us a van but I do believe that he knows what I need and that he can work huge miracles in my life. He can do far more than I can imagine or ask. If he sees fit He can give me a brand new van and it could be exactly what I want. Which reminds me of a message I heard many years ago. "If you want a red bike then ask for it don't settle on a yellow bike!" So you can be my witness of a miracle if God sees fit. I want a Honda Odyssey or Chrysler Town and Country with DVD players in it. lol! I'm not picky am I?

So I do have a new years resolution. I have to believe in the miraculous! I encourage you to believe also. Lets start believing for Gods miracles in 2010 more than we ever have before. So let this be a testimony blog. If there is something in your life that you need God to work a miracle in then write it in the comments and I will believe with you. Where 2 or more agree in His name it shall be done. It doesn't have to be in a church it can be on a blog.

I am so glad you posted this. Sometimes when the things my friends and I have prayed for happen, I tend to not be as thankful as I should. We prayed for my husband to not be deployed again and his 3rd deployment was canceled officially last week! Time for me stop and realize who that came from.
