Miracles Have Not Ceased!

This is a very special post about my friend, Angela. We went on a mini-vacation this week. Just she and I. I know that sounds incredulous, seeing as to how I am all about my family, but it was not an ordinary excursion. It was a mission. A mission I am honored to say that I was involved in. I will explain more later.


This is Angela on our starting journey. She looks a little apprehensive, but I think she is trying to contain her excitement, after all, it has been 8 long years.


We had packed our suitcases with a week's worth of wear even though we were only staying one night. I try not to take all those clothes, but you ladies know how it is. Whatever we leave at home is going to be THE outfit we want to wear. So, in living life with as few regrets as possible, I take as much as I can. *smile*

We left early in the morning and decided to stop at Cracker Barrel for breakfast. Didn't see that coming, did ya? We were so caught up in conversation that we stayed there until almost lunch. Isn't it wonderful to be able to converse with someone about the goodness of the Lord? He is always worthy to be praised!

We finally paid our check and got back into the car to proceed. As we pulled out of the Cracker Barrel parking lot I saw a Wal-Mart with the fuel station. Imagine my surprise to find gas for $2.69. Now that is the cheapest I have seen for awhile so I did what any other American stressing over gasoline prices would do. I pulled right in and filled up the tank to the maximum. Ugh.....If only I would have had a spare tank...... Oh well, praise God for what I did get!

After arriving at our reserved motel, we discovered the room had only one bed. This was not going to work for us. To make matters worse this was the Only available room. Disappointed we were, but not depressed. We decided to call a few other places in the area and hope for a vacancy. I called several places, but things were not looking too good. We decided to not let this deter us and journeyed on.

I felt peace about the situation and knew that we would get another room.....someplace. So after leaving this particular town we went into the next one and practiced a little therapy.


Feeling much better after some hands on shopping we were ready to ride again! We still had to accomplish the #1 reason we were here. Angela's anticipation had been building for sometime and I didn't want to prolong her long awaited moment.



Then, finally she was here.....our appointed destination. Can you guess where it is?




Beautiful scenery, just beautiful.
Now, you are probably wondering what's so special about this beach scene since I have posted so many previously. Well, I am getting to that............



You see, my friend Angela use to be in one of these.........









Through God's wonderful grace and mercy she is now out of it! Praise God! She has been out of the chair for a few months. One of her greatest desires was to be able to
do this........
















walk on the beach again.....something I take for granted......everyday!



So she walked.........


and walked........




and walked........




in silence........




to every one's ears.......




but not to God's!





Others may say that God doesn't do miracles today or healing isn't for everyone. Don't believe them. He is not dead! He is alive!

Call upon Him and He will answer you!
